THE 1 BILLION DOLLAR PIZZA
Once upon a time, back in 2010, there was a guy named **Laszlo Hanyecz**, who, instead of dreaming of being a superhero, dreamed of... pizza! But not just any pizza, a pizza that would go down in history.
At that time, **Bitcoin (BTC)** was like a newborn baby, worth almost nothing. Nobody cared, just some nerds and enthusiasts, like Laszlo. He had some Bitcoins sitting around and thought, "Hmm, what can I do with this? I know! Buy a pizza!"
So, on **May 22, 2010**, he went to the Bitcointalk forum and made a bold offer: "I’ll pay **10,000 Bitcoins** for someone to deliver two large pizzas! Any type is fine, I just want them to arrive at my door."
Imagine the scene: 10,000 Bitcoins! Back then, that was worth about... 40 dollars! Yes, R$200.00! A bargain, right? But nobody wanted to take it, they thought it was crazy. Until a user, **Jeremy Sturdivant (Jercos)**, decided to take up the challenge. He accepted the challenge and bought the pizzas from a Papa John's, delivering them to Laszlo's house.
And so, my friends, the legend of the **10,000 Bitcoin Pizza** was born! What was once a bargain became the most expensive pizza in history. Over the years, Bitcoin skyrocketed, turning into a space rocket! Those 10,000 Bitcoins that bought two pizzas one day reached a peak value of hundreds of millions of dollars!
Just think about Laszlo's regret (and maybe Jeremy's joy, who sold the pizzas). Today, **May 22** is known as **Bitcoin Pizza Day**, a day to celebrate this epic transaction and remember the crazy journey of Bitcoin.
So, the next time you order a pizza, remember Laszlo and his 10,000 Bitcoins. Who knows, your pizza today might turn into tomorrow's fortune? Or maybe not, right? But at least the story is good!
If you had bought $BTC you wouldn't be worried about the economy 😂🤑💰💸💵💳
