Well, those 2 Papa John's (or was it Domino's) pizzas that originally had cost 10,000 BTC back in 2009 are now worth ~$81,571,300 USD. Back then I imagine that they were worth about ~$25 total. That would be ~$0.0025 each (less than 1 US penny). Imagine that...just shy of $49Million/slice :P
It's hard to calculate the value of Bitcoin in 2009, because it wasn't yet trading on exchanges. I grabbed this information from https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/price/.
Bitcoin was not traded on any exchanges in 2009. Its first recorded price was in 2010. Technically, Bitcoin was worth $0 in 2009 during its very first year of existence!
Bitcoin's price never topped $1 in 2010! Its highest price for the year was just $0.39!
It's nice to see some light hearted news about Bitcoin for a change today. Seems like most the news lately has been about bans, regulation and how it's "rat poison".
Here's Bitcoin in the media today:

So there ya go! Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day everyone! So awesome that this was the first recorded transaction with Bitcoin.
