If time were to rewind to 2010, would you buy pizza with Bitcoin?
Every year on May 22, the global cryptocurrency community reenacts a 'memory scene'. Some lament the Bitcoin they sold back then, which is now worth millions, while others mock the first programmer who used Bitcoin to buy pizza for 'losing blood'. However, this $600 million pizza transaction actually opened Pandora's box in the crypto world.
When programmer Laszlo exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two slices of Italian pizza, he not only proved the circulation value of digital currency but also inadvertently created the 'Genesis Moment' in the history of the digital economy. Today, Bitcoin's daily trading volume exceeds 30 billion dollars, and what was once a geek toy has evolved into the 'digital gold' that institutions are scrambling for.
