Once upon a time in 2010, a guy named Laszlo traded 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas. Yes, actual Bitcoin. Yes, actual pizza. And no, it wasn’t a prank.
Back then, Bitcoin was worth a few bucks. Today, that same order would set you back over $1 billion if you’re feeling fancy. Don’t believe me? See for yourself on Bitcoin Price — the receipt stings more in real time.
The Day Crypto Became Real
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction, sending 10,000 BTC to someone who then ordered him two pizzas. Just two. No stuffed crust. No wings.
That moment, now known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, was the spark that proved Bitcoin had real value. Not just digital monopoly money. It could buy things. It could move value across borders. And it could, apparently buy heartbreak.
From Pizza to Portfolio Power
Back then, 1 BTC couldn’t even get you a slice. Today, 1 BTC equals about $106,477.79, enough to throw a wedding, fund a startup, or actually buy a KFC franchise. Check the live price on - Bitcoin Price
In 14 years, Bitcoin has gone from feeding a developer to feeding entire portfolios. Now you can:
Trade it on platforms like Binance
Spend it on travel, gift cards, or yes, more pizza
HODL and pray…lol
Use it to earn passive income (check out Binance Earn)
Tell your friends, "I was into crypto before it was cool"
So, What’s the Point?
Laszlo’s pizza order was the "best worst" decision in crypto history. But without it, Bitcoin might still be stuck on Reddit threads and cypherpunk forums.
Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t about regret. It’s about utility. It’s about taking a leap of faith in a technology that, years later, is reshaping finance.
So next time you see someone spending BTC, don’t judge. Just ask: “Is the pizza worth it?”
