The True Cost of Being Early.
In 2010, a man named Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. No one in his right mind would do that today, not when that same BTC could build luxury estates in East Legon, Ghana, fund startups in Lagos, Nigeria or power schools in Kigali, Rwanda. And then, there is me that will make sure to travel the world and even go to space. Yes, first class cabin only! lol
Today, that’s over $1 billion worth of dough, literally. To many, it’s the most expensive meal in history. But to the crypto world, it was the first real bite of possibility. Laszlo wasn’t foolish. He was early.
And early often looks crazy until it becomes genius.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than a crypto tale. It’s a reminder that pioneers always pay the price, sometimes in BTC, sometimes in faith. Here in Africa, where people queue for hours at banks and mobile money charges eat into daily earnings, Bitcoin’s promise hits differently. It's more than an investment; it's an escape route, a new hope. Such bold moves are not just inspirational, they’re necessary! Yes!
We too must dare. Dare to try. Dare to build. Dare to believe in tech before it becomes a trend. Because today’s risky ideas are tomorrow’s revolutions. Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us that true innovation always starts with a leap. And the brave few like Laszlo who take the leap early are often mocked, misunderstood, or "memed"… until the world catches up.
So the question for us is: what’s your “pizza moment”? What idea, movement, coin, or cause are you willing to support before it becomes obvious?
As we slice our pizza this May 22, let’s also slice open our minds. What are we holding onto that could change the world, if only we spent it?
