Bitcoin Pizza Day: Two Pizzas Worth $100 Million

On a warm afternoon in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz sat in his cozy living room. His computer screen displayed a page from a Bitcoin forum, which he frequented. At that time, Bitcoin was just a niche technology experiment, and few people expected its huge potential in the future.

Laszlo suddenly decided to make a bold attempt. He posted on the forum that he was willing to pay 10,000 Bitcoins in exchange for two pizzas. This request caused a lot of discussion and curiosity, but eventually a Bitcoin enthusiast responded to his request.

A few hours later, the doorbell rang, and Laszlo excitedly went to open the door to greet the pizza delivery boy. It was two pizzas from Papa John's, steaming hot and fragrant. He put the pizzas on the table and opened the pizza box with expectation.

At this time, Laszlo's face was filled with a satisfied smile. He didn't know that these 10,000 Bitcoins would increase in value to hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few years, nor did he know that his transaction would be forever remembered in the history of cryptocurrency.

In 2021, when the price of Bitcoin soared to $60,000, the value of the 10,000 Bitcoins that Laszlo originally spent was close to $600 million. Every May 22, cryptocurrency enthusiasts around the world celebrate this special day to commemorate this historic transaction.

Laszlo's two pizzas are not only an ordinary food enjoyment, but also a legendary story in the world of cryptocurrency.
