Meet Laszlo Hanyecz — the Man Behind the Most Legendary Purchase in Crypto History
Why is his name unforgettable in the crypto world? Because he used 10,000 BTC to buy two pizzas — marking the first-ever real-world Bitcoin transaction.
Here’s how it went down:
In May 2010, Laszlo posted on a Bitcoin forum:
“I’ll pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.”
At the time, that was worth just $25.
Someone took him up on the offer, ordered two Papa John’s pizzas, and had them delivered to Laszlo’s home in Florida.
Laszlo sent the BTC using a simple command-line wallet—and boom, pizza was served.
Why it’s historic:
Those 10,000 BTC are now worth hundreds of millions.
It’s recognized as the first real-world crypto purchase.
May 22 is now celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day, a tribute to this milestone moment in crypto.
To put it in perspective:
With Bitcoin now trading around $100,000, Laszlo’s two pizzas could buy mansions, yachts, or even a private island.
So here’s the million-dollar question:
Does Laszlo regret it—or is he proud to be part of crypto history?
