🤷The tales of the guy who bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins.
Does he hold any BTC left?
Ten years ago, a developer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by becoming the first person to use Bitcoin in a commercial transaction.
On May 22, 2010, when Bitcoin was just over a year old, he did something that would forever be remembered in cryptocurrency space: he bought two pizzas for a whopping 10,000 BTC.
~Back then, those 10,000 BTC were worth about $41.
Now BTC is sitting at 70k each, so if you want to calculate those with current price, those two pizzas are the most expensive pizzas in the world, costing 700M USD! Those pizza must be yummy as $. Now May 22 is celebrated as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” in crypto space.
Now the question is? Does he hold any BTC left?
As of now, Laszlo Hanyecz has not publicly disclosed whether he still holds any Bitcoin (BTC) from the original 10,000 BTC he used to buy those two pizzas. Given the significant appreciation in Bitcoin’s value over the years, it’s possible that he might have many BTCs left in his bag. He should become silent millionaire right now, that if he lost his key to his wallet... But I sure hope he do!!!
>I strongly believe that he still holds some BTC, the more important thing is most people already sold them at $1000, even at $100! thinking that it was the peak back then.
>The ones that make it are either lost their key, or simply (this rather dark) already passed away, leaving their BTC permanently unusable till the end of time...
