Laszlo Hanyecz, the man who made the world's first Bitcoin (BTC) documented transaction for a physical item in 2010 - 10,000 BTC for two pizzas - has now bought two more pizzas using the Bitcoin Lightning network.

The original BTC / pizza transaction took place on May 22, 2010 and has been celebrated as the "Bitcoin Pizza Day" ever since. There is a Twitter feed dedicated to a daily display of what 10,000 BTC is equal in market value to date - today's value is tweeted at 104,750,750 $.

In order to receive the pizza, Hanyecz decided that the best way to prove that he had paid for it was to show the deliveryman the first four and four last characters of the hexadecimal chain of his prepayment, and if that corresponded to that that the delivery man had he would have his pizza.

Hanyecz included a link in his post to several photos of him and his family enjoying the pizzas, a child wearing a "I love pizza" shirt, the other a "I like Bitcoin", and the notebook with the preface. image displayed in front of the pizza box.

The first physical purchase documented on the Lightning Network, a second-layer payment protocol considered as the next step in BTC's evolution by increasing network capacity for a global audience, would have taken place on January 20th. The user of Reddit / u / btc_throwaway1337 reported that he purchased a VPN router through a payment channel provided by TorGuard, a purchase comparable in importance to the original Pizza Day.

Hanyecz said :

"The goal was just to play with C-Lightning and do something more than just swap some satoshi, maybe when the pizzerias have their own Lightning nodes I can open them directly."
