$ETH This man, his name is Laszlo Hanyecz, sold 10,000 $BTC for two pizzas.
He posted on a forum: "I will pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas."
At that time, that amount was actually just pocket change, around $25 or a little more. Another forum user eventually accepted, ordered two Nice! pizzas from Papa John’s, and had them delivered to Laszlo's house in Florida.
Laszlo transferred his 10,000 bitcoins via the newly released command line wallet, and voilà, he had his lunch.
Fast forward a few years, and those 10,000 BTC are now worth tens of millions of dollars. Every May 22nd is now celebrated as "Bitcoin Pizza Day," a playful tribute to the first real-world transaction in cryptocurrency.
Remember, $BTC is currently trading at around $100,000 💔
