This guy-Laszlo Hanyecz-made history without even realizing it.
Back in 2010, he posted on a forum: "I'll give 10,000 BTC for two pizzas."
At the time, those 10,000 bitcoins were worth just $25.
A fellow forum user took him up on the offer, ordered two Papa John's pizzas, and had them delivered to Laszlo's place in Florida.
Laszlo sent over the BTC using a fresh command-line wallet-and just like that, the world witnessed its first real-world crypto transaction.
Two pizzas.
10,000 BTC.
17 Value today? Around $1 billion (with BTC currently trading near $100,000).
Now, every May 22 is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day-a reminder of how far crypto has come... and perhaps how painful hindsight be.
Can Laszlo ever forgive himself?
