The Legendary Bitcoin Pizza Story
"I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas... like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day."
— Laszlo Hanyecz, May 18, 2010
On May 22, 2010, a Florida programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made cryptocurrency history when he completed the first-ever commercial transaction using Bitcoin. The purchase? Two Papa John's pizzas for 10,000 BTC.
This seemingly simple transaction has become legendary in crypto lore. Every year on May 22, the crypto community celebrates "Bitcoin Pizza Day" to commemorate what is now considered one of the most expensive meals in human history.
The pizzas cost Laszlo about $41 at the time. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth over a billion dollars. But Laszlo has no regrets—he helped prove Bitcoin could be used as an actual currency, paving the way for the entire crypto economy.
But here's where $BTCPIZZA flips the script: Instead of spending crypto to get pizza, our pizza gives YOU crypto! Every 10 minutes, holders get a chance to earn $BTCPIZZA tokens—turning the original story on its head!
Fun Facts:
- If Laszlo had hodled those 10,000 BTC, he could buy a pizza chain today
- The Bitcoin Pizza transaction helped establish the first real-world BTC valuation
- Laszlo actually spent 100,000 BTC on pizzas over time (not just the famous 10,000)
- May 22 is now officially celebrated as "Bitcoin Pizza Day" worldwide
In Satoshi We Trust
"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."
— Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009
None of this would be possible without the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2008, this pseudonymous figure published the Bitcoin whitepaper, forever changing the world of finance and technology.
While Satoshi's true identity remains unknown, their legacy lives on through every Bitcoin transaction, every blockchain innovation, and yes, even through meme coins like $BTCPIZZA that celebrate the culture they helped create.
Thank You, Satoshi!
For the vision, the code, and the pizza we could never afford to buy again.
