Unfortunately, some of us feel upset about what he has done. Because now it's worth way a lot. But, Laszlo never regrets it. Such a Legend.

Not all people been upset about the action he made from the past since its truly understandable because no one can predict the future and for sure at that time its easy to get those BTC that's why he made that deal. Also for sure maybe there are other more than that undocumented and for sure they also didn't regret what they do from the past because its part of life where they spend what they think right for them at that time.

Laszlo Hanyecz himself hasn't got upset on his action. Because, he knew well about what has happened. If he haven't taken the way to buy Pizza with bitcoin, even now we couldn't have got the access for the same. What he did years back have now made businesses to consider bitcoin as a payment. Few countries have adopted bitcoin as legal tender. In each and every progress of bitcoin, Laszlo too is a reason.

Well, Laszlo actually did come back after a few years and explained his actions. He did not do this to make a big gesture or to make a political statement.. he basically had a small daughter that was crazy about Pizza.... and he wanted to buy the 2 x Pizzas with his bitcoins to see if it can be done, because he wanted to see his daughter rubbing it all over her face.

He never even considered that the price of a Bitcoin will go up to $60 000 per coin. Roll Eyes

He thought it was the latest craze and that it will blow over in a few months.

He still says that he does not regret anything that he did and that he got a lot more out of that, than the money it is worth now. (How do you buy the title of being a legend in millions of people's eyes and even a day dedicated to your actions)

I don't know why you guys are twisting my words. I never said that Laszlo sold his all Bitcoins. Some people on social media look so upset when they think someone bought two pizzas for 10000 Bitcoins. But, The Legend never regrets it. So, Why do some people feel so upset? That was an incredible milestone for Bitcoin. Now it's Bitcoin Pizza day.

I respected Laszlo for making this month a historic moment for every cryptocurrency enthusiast and even when he spent 10,000 BTC on pizza some members of this forum than have the thought that BTC he spent on pizza will become the world's first million dollar pizza before this day.

Laszlo 10,000BTC for 2 big pizzas then might sound ridiculous to some people now but his decision then makes others have interest in bitcoin and literally boost it's (BTC) value some months later.

Lots of people had been getting that kind of feeling of being upset knowing on how much he had spent out for a 2 big pizzas but if you were on his shoes and on that time that bitcoin value is almost nothing
then you wont really be boggling up your mind on spending it since you know that it does have some value and no one had predicted that it would really became a real big thing in the future.
Lets just set aside those money earning opportunity or investment issues and stick out on how Laszlo do able to create that kind of awareness that bitcoin could really be used
into those kind of transactions.

That is because you're comparing the value today and the past value of bitcoin. Before it was not worth that much but the action he did for starting the value of it as a medium of exchange meant a lot to us. Do not feel upset but be grateful that Laszlo started it all.

Truly a legend and one of the greatest pieces of bitcoin history.

Please read the full thread, particularly Lucius' post

As others have posted elsewhere Laszlo didnt sell "everything" he had he mined
more, it was so easy back then. They were different times.

Yes, Laszlo never sell all his Bitcoin holding but the above user never said Laszlo sold all his holding either.

He only stopped buying pizza with Bitcoin when the mining reward are not like before because after he bought some pizza with Bitcoin the crypto market experienced huge traffic, and everything dramatically changed. Besides, theymos also didn't expect the change to happen suddenly.

It was celebrated over 12 years before and people don’t believe the bitcoin at that time. So the bitcoin was used for the pizza. But my wishes on this was, I would like to see that pizza owner. If I found him, I was dam sure he will billionaire or millionaire for sure. But Incase he had send the bitcoin for the immediate dollars, So that he will not had any bitcoin for now and we had a loss.

Well, people are actually tracking the "Pizza Coins" through Blockchain analysis and they determined that someone bought a house with some of those bitcoins that was linked to the Laszlo coins.

They reckon a lot of the transactions that we are doing now, still contains satoshis that were part of the original 10 000 bitcoins that Laszlo used to pay for the two pizzas. Grin

There you go, some of the Satoshi's are still in circulation. As well as Laszlo's historical and
important transaction back in 2010 he and all the other miners involved in the "early days"
deserve a big slice of recognition, without them Bitcoins future might not have looked so bright

I decided yesterday to do some Art as it was such a rainy day but I got interrupted to go get
Pizza and didnt get it finished!

It is because of people like Laszlo that Bitcoin got to where it is today.

Pizza day is not about pointing a finger at the value of BTC then and now, and cringe or laugh. Bitcoin started at zero on the 3rd of January 2009.

Pizza day will forever immortalise the significance of the community for the success of the world's most important decentralised movement in human civilisation.

laszlo is a pioneer. He is a legend.

Thank you laszlo, happy pizza day !!

So, we Thank you Laszlo Hanyecz for your sacrifice and your gesture that changed the way people looked at Bitcoin in the future. Bitcoin might never have achieved it's success, if it was not for you. Wink

I don't know why people think it was some kind of sacrifice or that Laszlo made a mistake by paying for 2 pizzas as much as 10 000 BTC? It should be noted that this was a completely different time when anyone could mine BTC with their computer and when very few people believed that Bitcoin could succeed. 50 BTC per block was a very generous reward, and I guess it wasn't extremely difficult to mine 10 000 BTC.

This is without a doubt a historical event, but even if it had not happened then and in such a way, I guess Bitcoin would not have ceased to exist. Someone could also buy a few beers or burgers, and then we would celebrate Beer Day or Hamburger Day today.

That's cool, its like keeping Laszlo's legacy.

Would like to track those coins too probably buy some of those coins just for it to be in my wallet to one day buy pizza. It would be cool to buy pizzas with some of those coins again for probably 0.002BTC and then add the blockchain analysis. People in the next generation will probably look up to you spending 0.002BTC for 2 pizza also while by that time 0.002 will be worth a lot.

I am just wondering where is Laszlo Hanyecz right now and if he also saved enough BTC that right now made him a rich man - that is after spending a lot of Bitcoin to buy the many boxes of pizza he ordered in the past...which of course made him famous in the crypto industry. He is already an unforgettable figure in the Bitcoin circle because every year we have the official Bitcoin Pizza Day...hope that by next year this same kind of feverish interest can be pick by the whole pizza industry so they can come up with promotional activities for the said day.

He had previously interviewed and he said that there are no regrets from him spending that too much bitcoin back in the day, he just want to proved Satoshi's invention can be useful and revolutionized idea.

he said he had no regrets over the transaction of 10,000 Bitcoins for 1 pizza pan. In fact he is proud to be an important part of bitcoin history, although he did not know if bitcoin would make it big until now. Bitcoin is destined to be big, to become the digital asset of the future.

This is what we should be doing in regards to Laszlo, thanking him for his massive contribution to bitcoin and the bitcoin network instead of making fun of him spending hundreds of millions on pizza. What I think most people don’t realize is he actually held multiple trades for bitcoin and pizza, in total he shared that he had spent somewhere around 35,000 bitcoins on pizza deals. The firs ever transaction, pretty cool !

I am also expressing my gratitude here to Laszlo Hanyecz for starting the ball rolling for Bitcoin. It is just right that he is given the honor for doing something which started it all. To commemorate his famous Bitcoin pizza purchase every year is the least that the Bitcoin community could give to the man and his action. He will forever be remembered and honored. His purchase will forever be etched on the history of Bitcoin.

But one thing I don't think he did was sacrifice. He did the buying with complete freedom and fun. He wasn't sacrificing anything. It is only in hindsight that people cried over spilled milk.

If he hasn't initiated the spending possibility, we could've never recognised the technology as well as bitcoin.

This one, maybe in the beginning he really don't know what will happen to bitcoin, but without him buying Pizza that time, bitcoin might not be acknowledged at what it is today. So his name will be synonymous with Pizza and bitcoin.

He had previously interviewed and he said that there are no regrets from him spending that too much bitcoin back in the day, he just want to proved Satoshi's invention can be useful and revolutionized idea.
