story imageMay 18th is international Bitcoin Pizza Day . From ABC:
The first Bitcoin transaction, according to Internet lore, was for two Papa John's pizzas delivered to a guy in Florida named Laszlo Hanyecz, who ponied up 10,000 bitcoin (about $30) in exchange for the pies.

"It was a good pizza," Hanyecz, 32, told ABC News today.
More than one company is now trying to make a big deal out of Bitcoin Pizza Day to drum up some business, increase demand for Bitcoins, and sell pizza. Eat a nice, cheesy slice while you ponder the ramifications of Gitchain , the "unholy matrimony of Bitcoin and Github." With weird science like this, Cthulhu can only be days away ...

I hope the pizza parlor didn't pocket all that, or at least that the driver got a tip.
