An interesting twist in Bitcoin history: it turns out that Laszlo Hanyecz spent much more on pizzas than everyone thought. Remember those famous 10,000 BTC in 2010? Well, according to him, he mined about 100,000 BTC and spent roughly half on various pizzas, while the other half he gave away or sold. He made a few thousand dollars from these transactions, which was enough to buy a new computer.



But here’s the funny part — Laszlo Hanyecz himself considers this pizza not his main contribution to crypto history. For him, a much more significant achievement was porting Bitcoin from Windows to MacOS. It turns out that Satoshi Nakamoto specifically approached Hanyecz to do this because he didn’t know how to compile a Mac version himself. Laszlo says he didn’t hold back and was willing to help, releasing the source code online. Now that’s what I call a real contribution to development, not just buying food.
