Once upon a time in 2010, a guy named Laszlo Hanyecz was feeling peckish. Like any regular person, he wanted pizza. But instead of using regular old cash, he thought, “Why not pay with this new thing called Bitcoin?” He posted an offer on a Bitcoin forum: 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas.
To everyone’s surprise, someone took him up on it. Laszlo received two pizzas worth about $25, and he happily munched away, probably thinking he got a great deal.
Fast forward a few years, and those 10,000 Bitcoins? Worth millions of dollars. Today, they’d be worth hundreds of millions. And poor Laszlo became a legend in the crypto world as “the guy who ate the most expensive pizzas in history.” Now every year, Bitcoin enthusiasts celebrate “Bitcoin Pizza Day,” both to honor Laszlo and to remind themselves to maybe hold onto their Bitcoin just a little longer!
