This is the craziest and most widely circulated transaction in the history of the cryptocurrency world.

In 2010, a programmer spent 10,000 bitcoins—worth only $40 at the time—to buy two pizzas.

Today, that money is worth over $1.07 billion.

A pizza meal has become a lifelong cost.

His name is Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer living in Florida.

At that time, bitcoin was just an experimental toy on geek forums; no one really believed it could become "money."

But Laszlo believed.

He wanted to do one thing: buy a real-world product with bitcoin.

So he posted on the forum, offering 10,000 bitcoins for someone to help him order two pizzas.

A day later, a netizen responded.

The deal was struck, and two pizzas were delivered to his doorstep, marking the world's first bitcoin transaction for a real product.

This transaction seems “incredibly foolish” by today's standards.

Who would spend the equivalent of $1 billion to buy two pizzas?

Yet this transaction proved the value of bitcoin—it can circulate as currency!

And it opened the door to the future of bitcoin.

That day became a holiday remembered by countless cryptocurrency believers:

📅 "Bitcoin Pizza Day"—May 22.

Laszlo also became a legend.

He did not regret it, nor did he try to “recover his losses.” He said:

"Without those two pizzas, bitcoin might never have proven its value."

This was not a failed investment, but the prologue to a new world.

🌍 Every legend in the cryptocurrency world begins with a “crazy” belief.
