I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I\u2019m aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don\u2019t have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a \u2018breakfast platter\u2019 at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you\u2019re happy!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Hanyecz was suggested to exchange these bitcoins for their worth \u2013 $41 at that time, but over $770 million now- and purchase the pizzas by himself, he declined. At last, another forum participant, Jeremy Sturdivant, fulfilled his request on May 22, 2010, and the transaction became legend.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2026, Hanyecz announced that the offer was still open, inviting others to buy him some pizza and be paid in <span>bitcoin<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI will trade 10,000 <span>BTC<\/span> for 2 of these pizzas any time as long as I have the funds (I usually have plenty). If anyone is interested please let me know. The exchange is favorable for anyone who does it because the 2 pizzas are only about 25 dollars total, maybe 30 if you give the guy a nice tip. If you get me the upgraded extra large ones or something, I can throw in some more bitcoins, just let me know and we\u2019ll work something out,\u201d<\/strong> he declared.<\/p>\n<p>Later, he admitted having spent over 100,000 <span>BTC<\/span> on pizza that year.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Hanyecz withdrew his offer after the amount to be claimed rose to $600. <strong>\u201cWell I didn\u2019t expect this to be so popular but I can\u2019t really afford to keep doing it since I can\u2019t generate thousands of coins a day anymore. Thanks to everyone who bought me pizza already but I\u2019m kind of holding off on doing any more of these for now,\u201d <\/strong>he said on August 04, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>While Hanyecz was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> pioneer, contributing to the development of GPU-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-bitcoin-mining\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin mining<\/a> and building the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> Core release for Mac, he will always be most remembered for this landmark transaction.<\/p>\n<p>He later assured that he did not regret making these purchases. <strong>\u201cI got pizza for contributing to an open-source project. Usually, hobbies are a time sink and money sink, and in this case, my hobby bought me dinner.
