Pay with Crypto – buy the whole world
Cryptocurrency has become a global phenomenon lately. Therefore more and more people feel like keeping pace with this rapidly evolving technology and taking all the benefits of using it. Though there are still many concerns and worries swirling around crypto technology, its capacity to disrupt traditional financial systems in the future is hard to overestimate.
Buying, selling, and exchanging cryptos have already become a mainstream trend, so one of the most popular uses is an investment. So far so good and nowadays extending capabilities of cryptos make them also a good payment alternative to traditional currencies.
Legendary first purchase with Bitcoin
This May the crypto community celebrates the 11th anniversary of the first-ever exchange of cryptocurrency for real-world physical products. Laszlo Hanyecz ordered two large pizzas from Papa John’s in May 2010 and paid with Bitcoin. At the time, each Bitcoin was worth less than a penny … about $0.003 to be specific. The pizzas cost about $30, so Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for them.
His dinner became historical as it's the first transaction using cryptocurrency to pay for a product. Every year, this day is celebrated on the 22nd of May every year as “Bitcoin Pizza Day”.
The weirdest things you can buy with cryptos
With cryptos, users have the complete fiscal autonomy to transact with whomever for whatever they want. No wonder, the selection of what people sell and buy anonymously can be rather extraordinary and sometimes bizarre.
