From Pizza with 10K BTC to Paying Bills in Satoshis: Bitcoin's Journey to Become the World Currency
From pizza with 10,000 BTC to the dream of a global currency
Can you imagine paying for two pizzas with the equivalent of millions of dollars today? This is not a fictional scenario, but a true story that happened on May 22, 2010, when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought pizza for 10,000 Bitcoins. At that time, Bitcoin was just a mysterious technical experiment, and no one expected this digital currency to become the talk of the world and the center of a potential financial revolution. Laszlo's story, which we celebrate annually on Bitcoin Pizza Day, symbolizes the huge transformation that Bitcoin has undergone: from just a digital token among programmers to an investment asset competing with gold, and now, aspiring to be the currency of the future with which we pay our bills and daily salaries in satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin). But can Bitcoin, with all its volatility and challenges, truly achieve this dream and become the world’s currency? Our journey to explore this question begins now.
