Can you imagine spending 10,000 Bitcoins just to buy two pizzas? Sounds impossible now, but this actually happened in 2010 — and became the most iconic story in crypto history.

How It Happened
In May 2010, a developer named Laszlo Hanyecz was experimenting with Bitcoin. He posted on a crypto forum offering 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. A teenager accepted the offer and ordered him two large Papa John’s pizzas.
Back then, 10,000 BTC was worth only about $41 — not much at all.

What’s It Worth Now?
If he kept those coins instead, today they'd be worth over $600 million. That makes it the most expensive pizza ever eaten — no joke!
---
This was the first time Bitcoin was used to buy something in the real world. It proved digital currency could work. Now, every year on May 22, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Laszlo doesn’t regret it — he says it helped Bitcoin become what it is today.
And maybe, just maybe, your small crypto steps today could be worth millions in the future.

Legend or lunatic? What do you think Laszlo was — a crypto hero or just plain hungry?
