Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: 15 Years Later and That Pizza’s Worth $1.1 Billion 😳

“10,000 BTC for two pizzas? Nah, that’s just crypto folklore…”
Nope. It actually happened.

Today, we’re celebrating one of the most legendary stories in Bitcoin history a story that reminds us how far we’ve come, how wild the ride has been, and why this quirky industry continues to capture imaginations.

Let’s break it down storytime style.

🕰️ Flashback to May 22, 2010
A Florida man named Laszlo Hanyecz posted on the BitcoinTalk forum:

“I'll pay 10,000 Bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.”

Yes, that’s right. 10,000 BTC.

Soon after, someone delivered two Papa John’s pizzas to his doorstep, and history was made. At the time, those coins were worth around $41.
Today in 2025? 10,000 BTC = $1,100,000,000

Why It Mattered
At the time, Bitcoin was mostly experimental. But this pizza transaction became:
✅ The first real-world transaction using BTC
✅ A proof-of-concept that Bitcoin had actual value
✅ The cultural birth of crypto utility

💬 Laszlo Speaks: Any Regrets?
Laszlo, now considered a low-key crypto legend, has often said:

“It wasn’t about the money. I wanted to show Bitcoin could be used in
the real world.”

Still, every year, the crypto community posts memes like:

"That was the most expensive pizza in history!"
"Domino’s owes him stock!"
"Imagine if he HODL’d instead!"

But the truth is without people like Laszlo, who spent Bitcoin early, maybe none of us would be here.

🍕 Yikes. That’s some very expensive pepperoni.
