A Pizza Worth $1 Billion: The Most Expensive Food Transaction in History Exposed
On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, which were only worth $41 at the time. This transaction became a legend in the history of cryptocurrency, marking the beginning of Bitcoin as a means of payment.
Today, those Bitcoins are worth nearly $1 billion, setting the record for the 'Most Expensive Meal Ever.' Despite this, Hanyecz has no regrets, stating that exchanging nearly worthless Bitcoins for pizza was a 'very creative' act.
This day is also designated as 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' symbolizing the remarkable transformation of cryptocurrency from a joke to a financial giant.
