Did you know that May 22nd is known as "Bitcoin Pizza Day"? That's because in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by exchanging 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas! At the time, it seemed like a normal deal, but today those pizzas are worth a fortune - around R$3 billion!
Laszlo wasn't just any guy, he was the inventor of GPU mining, an important technique for extracting cryptocurrencies. So when he offered 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas, it wasn't because he was desperate, but because he wanted to test the potential of the currency.
