The interesting fact here is that Laszlo, the American programmer, was not regretful as is often promoted! Although the value of 10,000 Bitcoins today exceeds one billion dollars - based on the current Bitcoin price - Laszlo saw this deal as a significant achievement at the time. In a later interview, he stated that he was proud to have contributed to proving the concept of Bitcoin as a usable currency, and that this step helped raise awareness about the digital currency.

What is not often mentioned is that Laszlo was not just someone wanting pizza; he was actively seeking to test the viability of using Bitcoin. In fact, Laszlo was working on developing Bitcoin early on and mined thousands of coins using a simple computer. What makes the story interesting and different is that Laszlo did not stop at this deal; he made similar transactions for consecutive days, buying another pizza later for an additional 10,000 Bitcoins, but he eventually stopped when he realized that the value of Bitcoin began to rise.
