This guy—Laszlo Hanyecz—made history without even realizing it.
Back in May 2010, he posted a casual offer on a Bitcointalk forum:
“I’ll give 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.”
At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth about $25. Not exactly a high-stakes deal—just a guy craving pizza and willing to part with some internet coins to get it. Another user agreed, ordered two Papa John’s pizzas, and had them delivered to Laszlo’s house in Florida.
Laszlo, using a basic command-line Bitcoin wallet, sent over the BTC.
That transaction made history.
It became the first documented real-world purchase using Bitcoin—a moment that transformed BTC from a geeky experiment into something with tangible value.
🍕 Two Pizzas.
💸 10,000 BTC.
📅 Today’s Value? Around $1 Billion.$BNB
With Bitcoin trading near $100,000, that pizza order is now legendary. Every May 22, we celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day to remember how far crypto has come—and how powerful hindsight can be.
Was It a Mistake?
Some say Laszlo made the most expensive food purchase in history. But let’s be real: without moments like these, crypto might have never moved beyond the digital underground.
Laszlo didn’t lose—he pioneered. He gave BTC real-world value. And that first transaction proved something critical:
Bitcoin wasn’t just a concept. It could be money.
A Lesson for All of Us
Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t about regret—it’s about reflection. It’s a reminder that innovation always starts with a few bold moves, often made without knowing what they’ll become.
Laszlo may never get those coins back. But he’s got something just as valuable: his place in crypto history.
So the next time you’re unsure about Web3, blockchain, or that token you’re researching—remember:
Sometimes it takes 10,000 BTC and two pizzas to start a revolution.
