On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history — but not the kind anyone dreams of. In a seemingly casual transaction, he exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas. At the time, those bitcoins were worth around $41. Today, they’d be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. What seemed like a novel experiment has become one of the most painful reminders in cryptocurrency history. Dubbed Bitcoin Pizza Day, this moment is both celebrated and mourned. Celebrated, because it marked the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. Mourned, because it serves as a haunting lesson in missed potential. Laszlo didn’t know what the future held. No one did. But every year, as Bitcoin reaches new heights, the world remembers those pizzas — greasy, fleeting, ordinary — that devoured a fortune. A fortune that could’ve bought islands, funded startups, or changed lives. There’s a strange, almost poetic irony in it: the world’s most expensive meal was two pizzas. And while Laszlo himself claims he has no regrets, for many, this story is a warning — a reminder that even the smallest decisions can echo through history, heavy with the weight of “what if$BTC #BinancePizzaVN #BinancePizzaDay🍕
