Eight years ago, on May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, USA, "thrown" 10,000 bitcoins (1 bitcoin is equivalent to 0.003 cents) from another bitcoin A forum user bought two Papa John's pizzas. Today, 1 bitcoin is equivalent to 7943 US dollars, that is to say, today, Hanyecz spent 79.43 million US dollars on a "light meal". Knowing this detail, I don't know if the judges still have to talk about it? Just in February 2018, the little brother made another move, and he bought two more pizzas. But this time, the "most expensive foodie in history" only spent 0.00649 bitcoins. After the transaction was completed, Hanyecz excitedly posted a warm photo of sharing pizza with his children. It can be seen that his two lovely children are wearing T-shirts with "I love pizza" and "I love Bitcoin" printed on them typeface. Coin lovers said that Hanyecz "missed" the opportunity to become a billionaire with two "sky-high priced pizzas"! In 2013, Hanyecz mentioned in an interview with The New York Times: "Bitcoin was worthless at the time, and it felt like a cool thing to use it to buy pizza. No one knew that Bitcoin would be so valuable in the future" fact On the Internet, even Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, once predicted pessimistically: "After many years, the handling fee will become the main compensation for mining. I am sure that the transaction volume of Bitcoin will not be too large or not at all in 20 years." It seems that Hanyecz, who only thought the transaction was "cool" at the time, did not expect Bitcoin to be "so great" today. As the first trading day successfully paid with Bitcoin, starting from 2017, May 22 has been determined as an "unofficial holiday", and it has become a festival generally recognized and publicly celebrated by cryptocurrency enthusiasts. More and more currency lovers choose to use cryptocurrency to "eat a big meal" on the day of "Currency Circle Pizza Festival". #币Circle Observer##PizzaDay
