Could you elaborate on the moment when Bitcoin transitioned from a purely digital currency to one that was utilized in "real world" transactions? Was there a specific event, milestone, or date that marked this significant shift? I'm curious to understand the historical context and how this transition occurred, as it represents a major step in the evolution of Bitcoin and its acceptance in the broader economy. Could you provide details on some of the earliest instances of Bitcoin being used for real-world purchases or transactions?
