On May 22, 2010, a guy named Laszlo Hanyecz made history… by buying two pizzas. But this wasn't your average pizza run—he paid 10,000 BTC for them.
Yep, ten thousand bitcoins. Back then, it was just about $41. Today? That’s over $650 million. That’s not a typo—that’s a mega yacht, a mansion, and a private island… for two large pizzas.
But Laszlo didn’t lose his mind—he changed the game. His purchase wasn’t just a craving for pepperoni—it was proof that Bitcoin could be used in the real world. It was the first step from “this could work” to “look, it’s working!”
Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us that every major leap forward starts with a risk. Laszlo wasn’t just buying pizza—he was making a statement: this technology has real-world utility. Without early adopters like him, Bitcoin might have stayed a niche experiment.
