#Gate广场披萨节
Back then: 10,000 BTC = 2 pizzas 🍕
Today: 2 pizzas = billions of dollars 💸
I don’t know whether that programmer cried; anyway, I cried.
May every coin I HODL never turn into a pizza again.
14 years ago today, a programmer used 10,000 BTC to trade for two of Papa John’s.
This was Bitcoin’s first “price” — 0.003 cents.
And ever since then, a piece of advice has entered the crypto world: never sell coins to buy pizza, unless you’re hoarding dough.
Salute to this pioneer—he bought pizza, and fed the entire decentralized dream. 🍕🧡
They say it’s popular to show off your pizza today? 🍕
I’ll show mine too—the double-cheese one I just bought.
I fought hard not to pay with BTC; I used U.
In my head, I silently recited: this bite isn’t 10,000 BTC—it’s a lesson worth billions.
Everyone, happy holidays. Don’t let your “pizza” become the last supper.
🍕 Pizza Day check-in
From two pizzas to a trillion-dollar market, BTC took 14 years.
Share your first BTC story in the comments:
· Did you sell it at the bottom?
· Or “what if I hadn’t spent it back then”?
Pick a friend and send them a virtual pizza (with a pizza emoji) to pay tribute to the man who made BTC circulate.
Remember: HODL, but you can also take a bite of real pizza first. 🧡
10,000 BTC = these two pies”
