Crypto is Crazy, Brilliant, and Hilarious — All at Once
Do you think crypto is just numbers and charts? Think again.
Here are a few mind-blowing facts that show how wild, weird, and wonderful this space really is:
- $BTC Bitcoin once bought 2 pizzas. In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas. That’s over $850 million today.
(Yes, they now have their own holiday — Bitcoin Pizza Day, May 22nd.)
- Satoshi Nakamoto, the ghost behind $BTC Bitcoin, is still anonymous. And the 1 million BTC in their wallet? Untouched. Ever.
- Lost BTC = Lost Fortunes. It’s estimated that 20% of all Bitcoin is gone forever, thanks to misplaced passwords and trashed hard drives.
(Someone even considered excavating a landfill to find theirs. Hardcore.)
- Dogecoin was a joke. A meme. A Shiba Inu. And now? It once had a $90+ billion market cap — and partially funded a SpaceX moon mission.
- CryptoPunks: 24x24 pixels. One sold for $11.8 million. Who said art needs a brush?
- $ETH Ethereum was created by a teen. Vitalik Buterin was just 19, a gamer fed up with WoW nerfs. Now he’s a legend reshaping the digital economy.
- El Salvador made BTC legal tender. And they’re building a Bitcoin-powered city fueled by volcanoes. Yes, real ones.
The more you learn, the more surreal it gets. Crypto isn't just finance — it's culture, rebellion, and creativity in motion.
