🍕 The main character of Bitcoin Pizza Day spent way more than 10K BTC:

• Laszlo Hanyecz, who in 2010 bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, spent around 79,000 bitcoins on subsequent pizza purchases, which at the current exchange rate amounts to over $8.7 billion.

• In 2019, he stated that he did not pay much attention to these transactions at the time, and it was common on the Bitcointalk forum to gift newcomers hundreds of bitcoins. Wallet records show that from April 10 to August 4, 2010, he transferred over 79,000 bitcoins.

• Paradoxically, the remaining balance in his wallet is now only enough for one large pizza.

• Where did his bitcoins come from? Between 2009 and 2010, the reward for a Bitcoin block was 50 coins (plus transaction fees). Based on the fact that, on average, one block appeared every ten minutes, his 81,432 bitcoins accounted for about 1.5% of the total number of coins mined at that time.

ℹ️ He is one of the first developers of Bitcoin. He not only developed the first Bitcoin client for MacOS but was also the first person, apart from Satoshi Nakamoto, to discover mining with graphics cards. After he announced this discovery in May 2010, the computational power of the entire Bitcoin network skyrocketed by 1,300 times by the end of the year. Ironically, it was the increased competition that prevented him from continuing to "earn thousands of bitcoins a day."
