On 22nd May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by making the first “real world” purchase with Bitcoin. He traded 10,000 Bitcoins (then worth approx $41) for two Supreme Papa John's pizzas. This would now be worth nearly $600 million (at the time of writing). Crypto fans around the world now affectionately refer to this date as, "Bitcoin Pizza Day".

About the Brief:
Our Aim
To commemorate the first real world bitcoin transaction, we want to showcase the astronomical rise and adoption of Bitcoin. More importantly, what we’re really looking to show is that everybody can spend crypto in everyday life, just as easily as traditional currencies such as $ or £. With the rise of crypto-enabled payment cards like Wirex, you can buy anything - a car to a coffee - from anywhere that accepts Visa or Mastercard.
About Wirex
Wirex is a global digital payment platform. In 2015, we developed the world’s first contactless payment card that gives users the ability to seamlessly spend crypto and traditional currencies in real life. Wirex’s mission is to bridge the gap between the digital and traditional economy with an overall goal to usher in a cashless society and the mainstream adoption of the digital economy.
