10,000 Bitcoins, $800 million, this programmer bought the two most expensive pizzas in history

MarsBitNews
Today is May 22nd, Bitcoin Pizza Day. In 2010, programmer Laszlo used 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas, completing Bitcoin's first real-world payment in history. At that time, this amount was only worth $41, but now it is valued at nearly $800 million. But he has never regretted it, because in his view, it was this transaction that truly made Bitcoin a "currency" for the first time.

What was I doing in 2010? Anyway, I wasn't buying Bitcoin.

Without this transaction, Bitcoin might still be partying in the geek community.

So the HODL community should thank him, or no one would step in to buy the dip.

Laszlo: I don't regret it. Don't regret it for me.

The first payment was for pizza; the bond between crypto and memes started back in 2010.

Back then, $41 exchanged for 10k BTC; now you need the Lightning Network to buy a pizza.
