Bitcoin, Pizza, and a Virus: A Strange Digital Tale
In 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins â the first-ever real-world Bitcoin transaction. At the time, it was worth just $41. Today, those Bitcoins would be valued at over $500 million, making it the worldâs most expensive pizza.
Bitcoin, once dismissed as internet fantasy, evolved into a revolutionary digital currency. But as its value grew, so did its use in the dark corners of the internet. Cybercriminals began demanding ransoms in Bitcoin, using its anonymous nature to power attacks like the 2017 WannaCry virus, which locked thousands of computers globally.
This bizarre trio â Bitcoin, pizza, and viruses â reveals the unpredictable nature of the digital age. What began as a quirky tech experiment turned into both a financial revolution and a cybersecurity nightmare.
And it all started with a simple craving for pizza.$BTC #BinancePizzaDay #bitcoinpizzaday
