Here's a funny cryptocurrency story that had the internet buzzing:
In 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by paying 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas. At the time, Bitcoin was still in its infancy and worth very little — about $25 for the whole 10,000 Bitcoins. Fast forward to today, and those same 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth millions. Laszlo essentially spent what would now be one of the most expensive pizza orders in history, all for the sake of satisfying a pizza craving!
The story has since become a bit of a cautionary tale in the crypto world, reminding people about how quickly the value of crypto can change — and how sometimes, it’s best to hold onto your coins!
And while Laszlo still fondly remembers his pizza purchase, it’s become a symbol of the early days of cryptocurrency and how far it’s come since then.$BTC
