Topic: Celebration Bitcoin Pizza Day. (Read 442 times)
Spending bitcoin to buy things is not bad, but I'm just imagining I had 10000 btc 13 years ago and I have been hodling it till this time🤔, that's a lot of money in today's bitcoin. Many of us didn't see bitcoin coming this big, I just wish I can turn the hands of the clock. The dude who bought pizza with 10000 btc what would he be thinking about the amount of money he spent to get pizza 🤔? This is a huge money that can shake a wallet, I'm imagining I have 10000 btc in my wallet. It is so interesting pizza was bought for this amount years ago.
The guy is just using his asset to buy what he need and although many think its a waste of opportunity but if we see how his needs has been fulfilled at that time we can say its still worth it. Its just this scenario create a history and many think that if lazlo hold it he earn a lot of money from it today.
This historic event remind us that unexpected thing can happened so if they have patience and trust on something that can create change they can get rewarded.
In all seriousness, I don't see the lesson in this situation, sure a guy bought a pizza with bitcoins, I mean what's the lesson? It's not like he knows what's going to happen to the price of bitcoin, Laszlo is more accomplished because he did the test run of using bitcoin as a means to pay for goods. This is more like hindsight thing to be honest.
AFAIK he don't mind about that and he proud what he did before because if he's not did that, Bitcoin price might not be so high as we currently see it on any exchange.
That's not true, that might be a contributing factor but I don't think that this event is the sole reason why the price of bitcoin is rising.

AFAIK he don't mind about that and he proud what he did before because if he's not did that, Bitcoin price might not be so high as we currently see it on any exchange. I guess he's not use all of his coins just to buy 2 pizzas, he should have huge amount than that.There's person who live in Romania, he bought 10,000 pizzas for a Bitcoin. That's a really good remarkable history to celebrate the Bitcoin pizza day.
Among these enthusiasts, Daniel Nita from Romania made history in cryptocurrency. On Twitter, Daniel Nita proudly announced that he purchased 10,000 pizzas for just 1 BTC using Binance Pay.

That is a very big regret to Mr Laszlo Hanyecz, by remembering the past mistake that created world financial history of his Lost of funds, that is reason why in any business you're doing, try make a research about the business and the potential of the business you're doing, which is Bitcoin is a digital assets that has already created for future financial services, that keeps adding value's from time to time. In other words, Laszlo Hanyecz sold out the current price of Bitcoin and he was happy enjoying pizza.
Nowhere he felt bad on spending such a big number of bitcoin in exchange for pizza. It is to be noted, if this transaction haven't happened surely bitcoin might've never been this high in value. Maybe he could've turned billionaire, through the loss of one thing we'll get another. This is kind of rule, so its a day in which Laszlo Hanyecz has to be remembered. On account of the particular day we were able to see good number of people distributing pizzas.
Laszlo Hanyecz never compared bitcoin to the value of USD. He saw bitcoin as bitcoin. Nothing else. Does he regret his decision? No. Then why should we do that? He had a vision, and he made that choice on his own in order to make that vision come true. And if we really want to compare, then why not compare the price of bitcoin in 2010? Why do we always compare it with today's price? Based on the situation and time, I think 10,000 BTC was worth it. It was the early days of Bitcoin, and very few people knew about it back then. And this was the first bitcoin transaction made in exchange for a physical object.
It was the start of a great era, and we are living in it today. So forget about it and enjoy.

Happy BTCitcoin-pizza day (even though a little late).
Strangely, this year I didn't see much new articles about it nor any mentions outside the very core-Bitcoiner-news.
We probably have to wait until the next massive bull market for mainstream media to pick up on any of this Bitcoin lore. Let's see, my guess is May 22nd, 2024 could already be different.

In other words, Laszlo Hanyecz sold out the current price of Bitcoin and he was happy enjoying pizza.
He doesn't regret his decision. At the time of the transaction, the value of Bitcoin was relatively low, and the concept of Bitcoin as a store of value or investment was not as widely recognized as it is today.Hanyecz's purchase was primarily an experiment to showcase the utility of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. He wanted to demonstrate that Bitcoin could be used for real-world transactions. In that sense, his action played a significant role in highlighting the potential of cryptocurrencies beyond speculative investments.
While the value of those 10,000 bitcoins has since increased significantly, Hanyecz has maintained a positive attitude about the transaction. He has expressed that he doesn't dwell on what could have been, and he sees the pizza purchase as a crucial part of Bitcoin's history.
It's worth noting that Hanyecz's pizza transaction helped create a milestone in the development and adoption of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin Pizza Day serves as a reminder of the progress made within the cryptocurrency space and the evolving perception of Bitcoin as a valuable asset.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is a special day, because of that we will always remember Mr. Laszlo Hanyecz who made history by completing the first transaction in the real world using Bitcoin by paying 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas and at that moment May 22 has become the day which has a special place in the hearts of bitcoin fans around the world especially on the bitcointalk forum.

Laszlo Hanyecz might get another bitcoin later apart from the ones he sold, but my question is if Papa John also sold the coin for a pizza amount or made a profit out of it. The two of them today will look back and they will be the ones to determine if the decision then was good or not. But to call a spade the owner of the bitcoin can't hold the coin this far to this date.
Op you were too hurry to create the bitcoin pizza celebration thread if not the date you created the thread has not reached the pizza day. You created the thread on

I think its probably because of his timezone and that of the forum time, I have a reason to believe his is from Bangladesh and the time their is actually five to six hours ahead of the time here so he might have posted it at the actually date of the celebration which is the 22 of may. But notwithstanding, its all part of the celebration and that first transaction that Laszlo did with bitcoin actually marked and pave the way for many more transaction with bitcoin till date and its has certainly been a milestone since that first recorded purchase @13 years and counting .May 21, 2023, 09:43:12 PM original time the thread was created

Happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone but I guess its already past now
Today is the 13th Bitcoin Pizza Day. Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins on May 22, 2010. He was the first to use Bitcoin commercially. The history he made, hundreds of years will pass but no one can make history like him.
Today I will celebrate Pizza Day by buying a pizza.
Happy Pizza Day everyone
I don't like reading the story because I always consider today's worth of Bitcoin comparing it with the worth of the pizza. It may seem to be a waste but this act is symbolic. He paved the way for Bitcoin to achieve its goal as a currency. From many interviews conducted Laszlo Hanyecz has always reiterated that he didn't regret his actions. He paid a huge sacrifice for the community and just like you can't discuss Bitcoin without mentioning Satoshi, Hal Finney, etc the name Laszlo Hanyecz will always be remembered for this uncommon act. I will definitely celebrate today with a pizza and somebody must know about Bitcoin today through me. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to this great community.Today I will celebrate Pizza Day by buying a pizza.
Happy Pizza Day everyone
Comparing the price paid over two mere pizza's on that specific date will just make you anxious because you will start some computation in your head and then there are lot's of what ifs that will start surrounding your head. There's no need to keep on thinking about what happened before and let's just focus on what is ahead of us because that is more important. As you said, the man Lazlo Hanyecz paid a price so that it will be more known in the world and just what he envisioned and the creator of course, it did really happen after 13 years.
Now, it's our time to support and continue what they have started by disseminating the knowledge that has been passed to us and of course by holding cryptocurrencies as much as possible.
That is a very big regret to Mr Laszlo Hanyecz, by remembering the past mistake that created world financial history of his Lost of funds, that is reason why in any business you're doing, try make a research about the business and the potential of the business you're doing, which is Bitcoin is a digital assets that has already created for future financial services, that keeps adding value's from time to time. In other words, Laszlo Hanyecz sold out the current price of Bitcoin and he was happy enjoying pizza.
That is, according to the current market price, Laszlo Hanyecz bought only 2 pizzas for 267017400$.
I wonder what's the prize of same pizza at the time now from the same vendor?I don't hope to see much difference except for the effect if inflation to have coursed a slight rise in prize but still, the prize isn't something that would be worth a discussion.
Though, it tells how one commodity have got less value compare to the other and should be placed ahead of the other. The investment mindset wasn't applied here.
Looking into it for real, this guy made a sweet deal at the time and it went into hatory as the first ever recorded bitcoin transaction between parties.
I got to watch a twitter interview by Laszlo only yesterday and he didn't seem to have any much regrets about it.
I guess I'm late on the thread but I still want to wish everyone a happy bitcoin pizza day and I also ate some pizza in commensuration with the day.
But no one should every think the buyer did something wrong because from my perspective, I think his decision is one of the reasons we're are enjoying the rewards of bitcoin because he was the one who initiated a transaction using Bitcoin.
And beside no one ever imagined bitcoin would rise to this amount and you can imagine finally having use a payment method that almost seemed useless in getting something value like food🤔?
I guess it was the excitement and I'm sure that the buyer is still very rich in bitcoin to have give out such amount of bitcoin for pizza.

To be honest at the time he probably felt like a genius. He backed away from an investment he thought was failing and he traded it for something of high value pleasure in the form of pizza. At that time, it was worth it regardless now. I think the two guys won the deal, just to different degrees, obviously. On Pizza Day, we have a lot to learn about investing in bitcoin, don't be afraid that we will buy as much bitcoin as possible because bitcoin will be very valuable in the future.
Apart from that Laszlo Hanyecz is an absolute legend. Laszlo Hanyecz This is the first time Bitcoin is exchanged for a product (Pizza). The single value set for bitcoins. Extraordinary.

Poor Laszlo. I feel sorry for him. It's cool to realize that our forum has long been a world legendary place with which such stories are connected. I found laszlo's account, and his activity is 199. Apparently, the forum was only a temporary place for him to pass through. Nevertheless, many people throw Merit to him, as if an offering to a monument.
Nevertheless, it was such people who created the price of bitcoin by such actions. And this is very important.
He was not unfortunate he thought that bitcoin would not explode after more than a decade but with that incident it became history in this forum that remembers him every year.Quote

I can't imagine that he is active again in this forum by telling his story again, of course he will be made happy because his history will always be remembered.
But many people are happy with this celebration? Of course we also know that Pizza is a delicious food and it will remain in history forever.
It was very impressive what happened on May 22, 2010. This is a very special moment, this is the great journey of Bitcoin. Yes. like @Patrol69 said if we review and compare the value, currently the market value of Bitcoin is so large and capable of reaching unexpected levels. Let's join in the celebration of Bitcoin Pizza Day and enjoy a delicious meal while appreciating the progress that has taken place. Cheers!
Happy (late) Pizza Day for everyone...
I'm just sorry that this major event didn't made him to stick to the community for the coming years since then. Or if he's involved, no one knows about it. At least I don't know anything else about this person!
I just hope he didn't kill himself after the first major ATH after he spent that amount of Bitcoins!
He created a twitter account I think in 2018 or something like that.

10 years and I am still wondering what happens to those bitcoins. Papa john sold the bitcoin or lost them or hold them and sell them later. What was the price when papa john sold them?
The most fascinating aspect of purchasing pizza with digital coins was the exhilarating experience of engaging in the first-ever transaction using a cryptocurrency. Since then, we have witnessed numerous trades involving Bitcoin and various other altcoins. Bitcoin persevered through numerous challenges to pave the way for the cryptocurrency industry, solidifying its position as the foremost digital currency both in the present and for the foreseeable future. I am on Elon Musk's starship and we are on Mars, can you have one pack of pizza delivered to me?
I am ready to cover all expenses , like seriously today is truly a memorable day as it marks the official usage of Bitcoin to pay for a real good such as pizza which is something remarkable enough.

On this day Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. Its current value is 26822×10000=$268220000. He never imagined that Bitcoin would be worth so much. If Laszlo Hanyecz had known, he might not have ordered two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. However, he launched the first bitcoin payment by buying two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins, which no one had done before. As long as the world lasts, as long as there is Bitcoin, we will remember this day with respect for. With that I wish everyone a Happy Bitcoin Day. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.

- Yes, we have thank Laszlo Hanyecz for the Pizza day, he really did something big to the community,
Here is the iconic post:
Years ago, when Bitcoin Pizza Day was discussed, everyone was talking about Laszlo and this strange initiative of his. Is it known if Papa John's immediately cashed in that 10k BTC, or he saved at least part of it and thus in some way used such a gift from Laszlo?
If Papa John's cashed them in for that $40, what it was worth then, they have just as much reason to yearn for that moment.[/list][/list]
Bit of a time capsule, eh? It's wild to think that a simple pie could tip the scales of value, right? Bitcoin Pizza Day is like a yearly homage to Bitcoin's staggering upsurge, a cherished custom among the crypto clan. It's as if we're saluting a mega-successful comrade each time – a cocktail of admiration and a hint of jealousy.
This eccentric narrative underscores the latent potential of sprouting technologies. It stresses the crux of clear-sightedness and daring in the whirlwind investment sector, more so in the pulsating and promising dimension of digital assets. It sets the stage for speculation - what might be today's "Bitcoin Pizzas", primed to metamorphose into fortunes tomorrow?
But don't forget, if the thought of swapping your Bitcoin for a greasy indulgence crosses your mind, that pizza might just fetch you a private archipelago someday. Keep that HODL spirit alive, mates!

10 years and I am still wondering what happens to those bitcoins. Papa john sold the bitcoin or lost them or hold them and sell them later. What was the price when papa john sold them?
So I guess I am having pizza later evening. Well to commemorate the events that everyone in the crypto space would never forget. That a 10k btc sold for pizza boxes. Well thats something we should always remember, Im thinking if I could finish a Papa john pizza box alone.
How much in bitcoin those 2 boxes of pizza now? Epic event on bitcoin history. I wonder if Laszlo also celebrating it today by pizza.

The average of us here must have experienced the same as Laszlo's, for example, I used to get around 20K Dogecoin as payment for my services and sold it for 100 USD in early 2021, but 5 months later the price of Doge went up like crazy, and if I hold on until that month I should be able to earn around 10K USD. Even though that is a pretty big number, I don't regret it, and instead I made it as a joke and took the lesson that if you are consistent to hold your coins, remember that there will be opportunities for it to rise in the future and you can become a millionaire from it.

At the time Laszlo Hanyecz was interested in buying pizza with his bitcoins but no one sold pizzas with bitcoins but Papa John's sold two pizzas for BTC10000 bitcoins. and at that time the market value of Bitcoin was equivalent to $42 dollars. And buying pizza with BTC10000 bitcoins has made history in the world and now many products are bought through bitcoins. World Pizza Day is being celebrated today on 22 May. Happy Pizza Day to all.
This is one of the most important events in the history of bitcoins and one of the few insane transactions being made. Man! that's a history right there and we celebrate this event every year giving respect to the guys who made this transaction happens. I guess the people that are patient enough to wait this long to sell their bitcoins are also worthy of getting some appreciation from us because they too make some huge contributions to the crypto market and we see some of those bitcoins are finally moving right now, they probably think this is the best time to also sold their bitcoins as well.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza day to the community here!
Its definitely a day to celebrate and commemorate if possible the day Bitcoin was successfully
traded for something else and it just happened to be Pizza.
We shouldnt get hung up about todays FIAT value of 10,000BTC. Bitcoin yesterday, today and
tomorrow is being sold or traded for something.

Quite incredible to think how far Bitcoin has come from those early days. Happy Bitcoin Pizza day! 
This is a big lesson for us from Laszlo using 10000 btc to purchase just two pizzas. Assuming he knows that in the very near future bitcoin price will surge high to the 26+k,I don't think that he would have made this moves. Some forum members are not happy that bitcoin is used as an asset, instead they want us to use bitcoin for our everyday transaction because bitcoin was created as an alternative means of payment. Forgetting that bitcoin volatile nature in 13yrs time from now can make one who holds on to his investment a winner. When you think like this bitcoin is dying because it is used as an asset. You might end up making the drastic mistake that Laszlo made and you will regret your action of failing to hold for long. My first time to be part of this great day, nobody believes in 2010 that bitcoin will be a valuable commodity with time passage.
Aside from value, Laszlo was trying to test the usability of Bitcoin for peer 2 peer trade such as paying for the pizza with the 10k bitcoins regardless of what its DCA value is, and above all Laszlo was trying to create a record of being the first person to exchange bitcoin for a pizza and that sigler act has become a historic events in bitcoin history.Some consider the 10kBTC as being too much doe a pack of pizza 🍕 but then know what Laszlo's bitcoin balance was at that time, and considering how easy and cheap bitcoin was at that time, he could afford to throw off such amount without much worries of what the price could be short.
Above all happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone.

Bitcoin's future is guaranteed to be headed in the right direction. So if we leave the total assets (20%-30%) for a long time there will be no problem. Because even if you sell everything you spend, all the money will be gone. So even if you keep some wealth, your danger will go away. BITCOIN WEALTH FUTURE Looking at Laszlo's past performance, I can be sure that Bitcoin will surely move forward with great speed into the future. Had he kept a fraction of the 10,000 bitcoins in the present day, he would have built up a huge wealth.
Today we can enjoy this day because we bought two pizzas with 10 thousand bitcoins. And we can learn from this incident that some assets should be left for the long term.

Although the price of Bitcoin was less than cents at that time in 2010, the first person to order a pizza in exchange for Bitcoin was the first product to be bought and sold in Bitcoin history. If it weren't for that event, we wouldn't have Bitcoin Pizza Day today.
Thanks Lazlo Hanycez
Thanks Papa john
Just read about this. It will be more interesting if both parties starts using bitcointalk again. It's a lesson pizza can be very expensive.
To make it clearer, thats 267 million dollars. I am not even writing what the rest is, just 267 million dollars should be enough to show how insanely high this was in amount, it just doesn't make sense.
267 million dollars is a value of 10,000 bitcoins at today price, not at 2021 all time high price that is about more than two times of this value.Quote
I understand obviously that this was just one time thing and anyone back in those days that were willing to spend this much, also had some bitcoins leftover. Laszlo talked about this before, he said that wasn't all he had and he had more and he cashed out some of them later on as well. I guess he is not a poor person at all. Like when we talk about him spending 10k on pizzas, we make it look like he had nothing left and he is starving today, dude did that, and then used the dollars to buy more bitcoins later on, so he was an early bird who got out with some decent chunk, definitely not a mistake for him.
Even laszlo is poor after all his sales of bitcoins with cheap prices, it is not a big issue with him or with us. Time flies and nobody can revert time so we have to live moving forward without regret about our past decisions.However we can learn from laszlo trade that we should never sell all of anything we own and believe in its future. We can keep about 10% or 20% of what we own for future. The 10% or 20% of our asset has unknown future and we might have a fortune with it or nothing with it in future. If we already have profit from our investment, we don't regret if the 10% or 20% turns to 0 in future but we will be very happy if it turns to be our big fortune.

Op, go and re-upload your image using Talkimg.com.
It seems like you're not aware of the fact that images hosted using Imgur no longer work in bitcointalk.

This should be the second pizza day I've celebrated since I became a part of this forum, altough I'm not quite sure if I was active to post that day or not.
I do wonder If he still regret his decision each he comes online on this day and sees that his iconic action is still being remembered by forum members and the whole bitcoin adopters.

I forgot to add the iconic post itself.

Today is May 22 (May 22, 2010), the historic day when a gentleman named Laszlo Hanyecz purchased just two pizzas from a pizza vendor named Papa John's for 10,000 Bitcoins. Converting 10,000 bitcoins to US dollars according to current market value, the current market value of 10,000 bitcoins is 267017400$. That is, according to the current market price, Laszlo Hanyecz bought only 2 pizzas for 267017400$.
The price of pizza is almost the same as before but guess how much the price of Bitcoin has increased.
We have lessons to learn from here. Given where the Bitcoin market value is now, 13 years from now, you can imagine where the Bitcoin market could be.
Let's all celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day.
