#BinancePizza Laszlo Hanyecz is a name forever etched in cryptocurrency history. Why? Because he was the first person to make a real-world purchase using Bitcoin—10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

Here's what happened:

In May 2010, Laszlo posted on a Bitcoin forum saying:

“I’ll pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.”

At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth around $25—just pocket change.

A fellow forum user accepted the offer, ordered two Papa John’s pizzas, and had them delivered to Laszlo’s home in Florida.

Laszlo transferred the 10,000 BTC using a simple command-line wallet—and just like that, he got his lunch.

Why it matters:

Fast forward a few years, and those 10,000 BTC are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This transaction is widely considered the first real-world use of cryptocurrency.

Every May 22 is now celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day—a fun, yet bittersweet tribute to that iconic trade.

Just think about it:

$BTC is currently trading around $100,000.

That means Laszlo's two pizzas could now buy luxury yachts, mansions, or even a private island.

The big question:

Can Laszlo ever forgive himself for this “mistake”?
