Back on May 22nd, 2010, an extremely fortunate pizza vendor sold two pizzas, for 10,000 Bitcoins. Nowadays, those 10,000 Bitcoins are worth $34,500,000!
Ten thousand coins were then worth about $40 (£30). A British user agreed to buy the pizza for this pizza-munching developer, and even at the time the buyer got a good deal out of it: The Brit paid only $25 (£19) for the two pizzas to be delivered to the developer.
From then on, Bitcoin users worldwide have celebrated on this day – so we have a little challenge for you… Your challenge is to swap your Scotcoin for something unusual today and tell us all about it – a beer? a bike? chocolate?
