The most expensive pizza in history - Bitcoin Pizza Day!
On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyec posted a strange request on a cryptocurrency forum: "Who can buy me two pizzas? I'm willing to pay with 10,000 Bitcoins." At that time, Bitcoin had not yet entered the public eye and the price was insignificant. In the end, a cryptocurrency enthusiast agreed to help him complete the transaction, so Laszlo exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas. This was the first time in history that someone used Bitcoin for actual commodity transactions.
Laszlo didn't know that his transaction would be recorded in the history of Bitcoin. With the rapid rise in the price of Bitcoin a few years later, the value of the 10,000 Bitcoins once exceeded 400 million US dollars, and the two pizzas became the most expensive pizzas in the world. Although many people think that Laszlo "lost a lot", he is proud of his behavior because he promoted the practical application of Bitcoin and proved that cryptocurrency is not only a virtual asset, but can also be used in the real world.
This event is commemorated every year by the crypto community, and May 22 is called "Bitcoin Pizza Day", which has become a node symbolizing the growth of Bitcoin.
