Laszlo Hanyecz and the Most Expensive Pizzas in the World
In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, made history by completing the first-ever real-world purchase with Bitcoin. He spent 10,000 bitcoins on two pizzas from a local chain. At the time, Bitcoin was worth so little that this transaction seemed like a fun experiment.
Hanyecz posted on a forum, offering to pay 10,000 BTC to anyone who would order pizza for him. Another user accepted the offer, ordered two pizzas, and received the Bitcoin. Back then, the amount was worth about $40 USD.
Today, those same pizzas are known as the most expensive in history: 10,000 BTC are now worth billions of dollars.
The story became legendary in the crypto world, and May 22 is now celebrated as “Bitcoin Pizza Day”, marking a moment that showcased Bitcoin’s potential as a real-world currency.
Can you imagine paying billions for pizza today? 0 reply
