#Gate广场披萨节 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕
It's crazy to think that on May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John's pizzas. At the time, it was a bizarre transaction that took place on an internet forum, worth roughly $41. But what about today? Let's just say, these are the most expensive pizza crusts in human history.
Here is a little creative tribute to the legendary day that proved Bitcoin could actually buy real-world stuff.
The Evolution of a $41 Dinner
To put this legendary transaction into perspective, here is what those 10,000 BTC look like over the years:
Year Approximate Value (For 2 Pizzas) What You Could Have Bought Instead
2010 $41 Just two pizzas.
2015 $2.4 Million A luxury mansion.
2020 $90 Million A private jet.
2024 $650+ Million A sports team or a real mega yacht.
🍕 "Looking Back" Crypto Meme
Laszlo in 2010: "Guys, let me trade 10,000 Bitcoin for a couple of pizzas... maybe 2 big pizzas, so I'll have some left for the next day."
Today's Crypto Community:

[Me while doing the math: How many slices of pizza could I have bought today if I hadn't sold my fractional BTC in 2017?]

Never feel too bad about your past trades. Who knows if Bitcoin would have proven its usefulness as a medium of exchange so early on if Laszlo hadn't bought those pizzas? He's a hero, not a cautionary tale!
