In four days it will be Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕 So what is its story?!
💥 On the morning of May 22, 2010, Laszlo, a computer programmer, was sitting in front of his computer following a new project called "Bitcoin." The people around him did not understand what was occupying his mind.
In a moment of genius hunger, he decided to try something unprecedented.
He opened the Bitcoin forum and wrote:
"I want to buy pizza. I will pay 10,000 bitcoins for someone to deliver it to me."
Some laughed and considered it a joke. But a young man from England read the offer and thought, "Why not?"
He ordered pizza from Papa John's and sent it to Laszlo's house in Florida.
The pizza arrived, and Laszlo smiled happily, saying:
"I became the first person to buy something real using Bitcoin."
Years passed, and the value of Bitcoin rose. Laszlo could never have imagined that those two slices of pizza would later be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Despite that, he did not feel regret. He later said:
"I’m happy that I helped make Bitcoin actually used. Someone had to take the first step."
🎉 Since that day, the cryptocurrency community celebrates "Bitcoin Pizza Day," not because it was the day they ate pizza... but because it was the day a crazy idea proved it could change the world.
