Laszlo, the famous American programmer, did not regret paying 10,000 bitcoins for pizza, even though its value today exceeds a billion dollars. In fact, Laszlo later expressed pride in having contributed to proving the possibility of using Bitcoin as a real currency. He was not just a hungry person; he was seeking to test Bitcoin's ability to function as a means of payment.
Laszlo was among the first to mine Bitcoin on a simple computer and repeated pizza transactions multiple times before stopping when the price started to rise.
The story carries an important lesson: innovation and experimentation were the main drivers of this step, not profit. Laszlo helped raise awareness of the idea of digital currencies and proved that the true value of Bitcoin lies in its use, not just in holding it.
