The $1 Billion Pizza Order That Made History
In 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made a post on a crypto forum that would go down in history:
> “I’ll give 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.”
Back then, 10,000 BTC was worth just $25.
A fellow forum member accepted the offer, ordered two Papa John’s pizzas, and had them delivered to Laszlo’s home in Florida. Laszlo sent the BTC using a basic command-line wallet—and just like that, the first real-world crypto transaction was born.
Two pizzas.
10,000 BTC.
Estimated value today? ~$1 billion (with BTC hovering near $100,000).
Every year on May 22, the crypto world celebrates #BitcoinPizzaDay—a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come… and how hindsight can hurt.
Can Laszlo ever forgive himself?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But one thing’s clear: he’ll always be the guy who ate the most expensive lunch in history.
