Fifteen years ago today, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John’s pizzas. Today, those 10,000 BTC are worth over $1.11 billion.
Many view this as an unfortunate moment, but it was actually the first real-world transaction that gave Bitcoin value — a historic milestone, the first block of trust, and the foundation for the ecosystem we have today.
Happy Pizza Day!🍕
