Bitcoin Pizza Day: From 10,000 BTC to a Billion-Dollar Slice! πŸ•πŸ’°

What to know:

  • Bitcoin hit a staggering $111,800 on the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day. Who knew pizza could be so valuable? πŸ•πŸ’Έ
  • Back in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by buying two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. Yes, you heard that rightβ€”10,000! For two pizzas! What a deal! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
  • That same 10,000 BTC is now worth over $1.1 billion. I mean, come on! That’s a lot of dough! πŸ’΅

So, it’s Bitcoin (BTC) Pizza Day, and guess what? It just got a new all-time high! Because why not? πŸŽ‰

Bitcoin skyrocketed past $111,800 early Thursday. Can you believe it? 15 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz forked over 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas, which were worth about $40. Talk about a bad investment! πŸ•πŸ˜…

The May 22, 2010, purchase was the first recorded commercial transaction using BTC. It was a pivotal moment, taking Bitcoin from nerdy code to actual currency. Who knew it would turn into this? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

That same 10,000 BTC could buy over 70 million pizzas today. I mean, who needs that many pizzas? You’d have to open a pizzeria! πŸ•πŸ•πŸ•

Hanyecz has shrugged off the β€œmissed fortune” label, saying the transaction made Bitcoin β€œreal” for him. He mined those coins when BTC was practically free! Who could have predicted this multi-trillion-dollar rollercoaster? 🎒

Still, this transaction is a cultural milestone for the crypto market. It showed that internet money could actually work as currency. Now, it’s not just pizza being bought with Bitcoin. It’s property, cars, and in some places, even taxes (for a hot minute). Can you imagine paying taxes with Bitcoin? What a world! πŸŒπŸ’°
