Secure it, chill, then build something epic for Web3.
Some for me, most for impact
And maybe open a pizza shop that only accepts BTC. 🍕
May 22, 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, commemorating the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas—a transaction now valued at over $1.1 billion, with Bitcoin recently hitting an all-time high of $111,000.
Imagine possessing 10,000 BTC today. What would I do?
Step 1:
Secure It
First, security is paramount. I’d distribute the BTC across multiple wallets:
Cold wallets for long-term storage.
Hot wallets for daily transactions.
multitasking wallets for added protection.
Remember, in the crypto world: “Not your keys, not your coins.”
Step 2:
Chill
Bitcoin’s scarcity—with a capped supply of 21 million coins—makes it a valuable store of value. The recent halving in April 2024 reduced mining rewards, reinforcing its deflationary nature.
So, I’d HODL (Hold On for Dear Life), letting the investment mature over time.
Step 3:
Build Something Epic for Web3
With such resources, I’d invest in:
Open-source projects enhancing Bitcoin’s ecosystem.
Educational initiatives promoting crypto literacy.
Startups innovating in decentralized finance (DeFi).
And yes, perhaps open a Bitcoin-only pizza shop, honoring the legacy of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us of the journey from a simple transaction to a global financial revolution. As Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream acceptance, with institutions and even governments recognizing its value, the possibilities are endless.
