#BinancePizza The $600 Million Pizza Lunch
In 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history without realizing it.
He hopped on a Bitcoin forum and typed a simple offer:
“I’ll pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.”
Back then, Bitcoin was a novelty—those coins were worth about $25 total.
Someone took him up on it. They ordered two Papa John’s pizzas, had them delivered to Laszlo’s home in Florida, and received 10,000 BTC in return.
Two pizzas. One historic transaction.
Fast forward to today:
At around $100,000 per Bitcoin, that meal is now worth roughly $1 billion.
Let that sink in.
One. Billion. Dollars.
For two pizzas with extra cheese.
And so, May 22 became Bitcoin Pizza Day—a tribute to the first-ever real-world crypto purchase, and a reminder of just how far this market has come.
But here’s the real question:
Did Laszlo make a mistake?
Some might say yes.
But others?
They’d argue he was a pioneer—turning digital code into something tangible, starting a movement.
Sure, it’s painful to think about what those 10,000 BTC are worth now.
But without that pizza purchase, who knows how long it would’ve taken for Bitcoin to find real-world utility?
So next time you think you’ve made a bad trade, just remember:
You didn’t buy two pizzas for a billion bucks.
And Laszlo? He probably sleeps just fine—knowing he helped launch a revolution.
