1 place in the most expensive purchases for bitcoin occupied, occupies and will occupy the legendary purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins in may 2010, a programmer from Florida lászló Chainitem. At that time bitcoin was not yet a world commodity and it was impossible to determine his true value. It is only known that according to various estimates it was from about 0.8 to 0.3 US cents. In the forum thread bitcointalk.org he wrote on 18 may that he was ready to exchange the 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas and delivery. And 4 days later found a man with the nickname “jercos”, paid for two pizzas Papa John’s on the map and indicating the shipping address Laszlo.

The interest of the sellers property is not scriptactive received in return, and its value expressed in terms of a traditional currency. So, strictly speaking, this transaction is not of sale, and direct exchange of one asset for another. For the full recognition of bitcoin as a currency lacks two things: capitalization, due to lack of value which the exchange rate of an asset subject to a strong volatility and a convenient mechanism of exchange for goods and services. Such a mechanism, for example, all used and all accept credit card.
