On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by buying two pizzas for 10,000 BTC — a move that would later become legendary in the crypto world. Today, those Bitcoins would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But back then, it wasn’t about value. It was about belief.
Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us of the power of early adoption and the courage it takes to embrace a new idea before the rest of the world does. Laszlo wasn’t trying to make headlines. He simply wanted to prove that Bitcoin could be used as real money. His transaction was the first documented use of Bitcoin for a physical good — and it opened the door to a revolution.
Back then, Bitcoin had no fixed value, no global attention, and no guarantees. Just a vision. Laszlo’s risk may seem costly now, but it helped spark the idea that decentralized currencies could have real-world use cases.
In today's world, early adopters are still the ones shaping the future of Web3, DeFi, and crypto adoption. Their risk-taking, like Laszlo's, is what moves technology forward.
So this Bitcoin Pizza Day, let’s celebrate not the price of pizza — but the bravery it took to spend that BTC. Because every innovation needs a believer.
Would you have done it? Spent 10,000 BTC for two pizzas? Or held on, hoping for the moon? Let's discuss.
