It turns out that Laszlo Hanyecz spent much more on pizza than everyone thought. Do you remember that legendary day of May 22, 2010? Everyone knows about the 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, but Laszlo Hanyecz himself admitted that he actually mined about 100,000 BTC and spent roughly half of it on pizza and various things. From this, he made a few thousand dollars—enough to build a new computer for himself.

But what’s even more interesting is that Laszlo Hanyecz himself considers his work porting Bitcoin to macOS to be a more significant event. It turns out that Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin on Windows and asked Laszlo to port it to Mac because he didn’t know how to do it. Laszlo did it, and his source code was released to the network. So it turns out that Laszlo Hanyecz made a far more serious contribution to the development of the network than simply buying pizza with crypto.

According to him, he wasn’t stingy at all and was willing to overpay. I wonder how he would have viewed the current BTC price of around 77.6K—he’d probably be smiling.
