From pizza to progress: what does Bitcoin Pizza Day teach us?
In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 $BTC for two pizzas. Today, that's over $1 billion. No joke. But it's not just a story about the most expensive pizza in the world.
This was the first real step in the crypto economy.
It took courage when no one believed.
That was the beginning of it all.
What have we learned in 14 years?
1. Adoption is always a risk
At that time, BTC was worth < $0.01. It had no "value" — there was faith. Without people like Laszlo, we would still be arguing: "Does this even work?"
2. Everyday expenses will soon become decentralized
In 10 years, crypto may become the norm:
instant transfers without banks
salary in stablecoins
payment for coffee, subscriptions, and rent through a wallet on your phone
And all this — with transparency and control in your hands.
3. Would you spend 10,000 $BTC today?
Just for pizza? Probably not.
But if you knew that this would change history — maybe?
4. What is needed for $BTC to become a medium of exchange?
speed (Lightning, Layer 2)
stability (volatility hinders)
adoption (from retail to regulators)
convenience (1 click — and paid)
understanding (education matters)

Bitcoin Pizza Day is a reminder: everything great starts with a crazy idea.
Would you take the risk like Laszlo?
