A Slice of Crypto History: The Infamous “Pizza for Bitcoins” Thread! 🍕
On May 18th, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a developer, posted a seemingly innocuous thread on bitcointalk.org offering a whopping 10,000 BTC in exchange for two pizzas 🍕. Little did he know, this legendary move would go down in history and be celebrated as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” every year on May 22nd!
Back then, 10,000 BTC was worth about $41, but today, those same coins would be worth hundreds of millions 💰. The transaction not only highlighted the real-world application of cryptocurrency but also marked the beginning of Bitcoin’s value ascension.
💡 Did you know? The thread is still live and can be visited here:
