#BinancePizza

We all know the infamous story of programmer Laszlo Hanyecz, who went down in history by paying 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas, which at that time cost about $41.

But who was the person that received those bitcoins?

The person who accepted 10,000 BTC in exchange for pizza was Jeremy Sturdivant, also known by his online nickname "jercos." At the age of 19, Jeremy was active on Bitcoin forums where Laszlo posted his offer to exchange BTC for real goods. Seeing the opportunity, Jeremy hurried to fulfill the request.

And what did he do with them, you ask?

He also couldn't hold onto the treasure 🫢

Instead, he spent or exchanged the coins as Bitcoin gained popularity in niche online communities. At that time, Bitcoin was not seen as a store of value, but rather as an experimental currency.

Later, Jeremy explained in an interview that he never regretted spending the bitcoins, as their value at the time was insignificant. "HODLing" was not yet a common practice in the cryptocurrency world!
