🍕 Why did pizza cost 10,000 bitcoins in 2010?
Today, for 10,000 BTC you can buy a private jet, a villa, and Elon Musk's Twitter account.
And in 2010 — you could buy two pizzas. And yes, this is a real story.
This was the first case in history of purchasing a product with bitcoins.
A developer named Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
A person was found who agreed — and sent him two 'Papa John's.'
A historic deal. A meme. And pain for everyone who thought that 'bitcoin is nonsense.'
But here’s the essence:
💡 Bitcoin did not become cheaper. It did not become more expensive.
It simply cost what someone was willing to pay for it.
In 2010, bitcoin had no price — in the sense of a commonly accepted one.
It was a digital wrapper, an idea, an experiment.
Laszlo had a need — he wanted to eat.
Someone had the opportunity — to buy pizza and receive 'these bitcoins.'
Thus the exchange happened: not with money, but with an agreement.
📌 It is important to understand one thing:
The value of cryptocurrency is not its technology.
Not hype.
And not even the number of nodes or transaction speed.
Value is what another person is willing to pay for it.
In 2010 — it was pizza.
In 2021 — it was Lambos and millions.
Tomorrow — who knows? Maybe bitcoin will again be worth a pizza. Or maybe — an entire country.
🧠 The moral:
If someone says that 'crypto is worth nothing' — they are right.
But only until someone says: 'I am willing to give this much for it.'
And that’s when — the price appears.
