🚨💥😱 Story Behind Bitcoin Pizza Day



The man in the photo is Laszlo Hanyecz , a programmer who secured a permanent spot in crypto lore on May 22, 2010, by completing the first-ever commercial transaction using cryptocurrency. He famously posted on a Bitcoin forum offering 10,000 BTC to anyone who would order and deliver two large pizzas to his house.

⚜️ The Cost Then: Another forum user took him up on the offer, buying him two Papa John's pizzas worth roughly $41.

🔹️ The Value Now: Today, those 10,000 Bitcoins are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making them arguably the most expensive pizzas in human history.

Crypto community now celebrates May 22nd every year as "Bitcoin Pizza Day." As the meme perfectly highlights, "people who know" can't help but wince slightly at the staggering modern day value of that dinner!
