Alright, let’s talk about Bitcoin Pizza Day. Yeah, it’s a real thing. You ever hear of a holiday where you celebrate losing a billion dollars over two pizzas? No? Well, welcome to crypto, my friend. Only in this world do you get a day dedicated to the most expensive lunch order in human history. And just to rub a little salt in the wound, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high today—$111,861.22. Mazel tov! 🍕🚀
Picture this: It’s May 22, 2010. Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer in Florida, gets a hankering for pizza. But instead of using cash like a normal person, he goes on a Bitcoin forum and says, “Hey, I’ll give you 10,000 Bitcoins for two large Papa John’s pizzas.” At the time, that was about forty bucks. Forty! You can’t even get a decent haircut for that now.
15 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz, a Floridian programmer, bought 2 Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 $BTC. Today, those pizzas would be valued at over $1.07B today.
Happy #Bitcoin Pizza Day, everyone!

Some guy takes him up on it, orders the pizzas with his credit card (like a sane person), and has them delivered to Laszlo. Boom—history is made. Fast forward to today: those 10,000 Bitcoins are worth over $1.07 billion. That’s right. Two pizzas. A billion dollars. I mean, you’d hope at least they didn’t skimp on the toppings.
But here’s the kicker: Laszlo wasn’t trying to get rich. He just wanted to prove that Bitcoin could buy real stuff—like pizza, which is basically the official food of people who never leave their computers. So now every May 22nd, crypto folks everywhere eat pizza and post memes about how they could’ve been billionaires if only they’d held onto their coins instead of splurging on carbs.
So whether you’re deep into crypto or just here for the pizza (honestly, who can blame you?), take a second to appreciate Laszlo’s billion-dollar snack. Sometimes you start a revolution with a whitepaper; sometimes it’s with extra cheese and pepperoni. That’s life!
