Topic: Thank you Laszlo Hanyecz! Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! - page 2. (Read 357 times)
Satoshi innovated the technology and bitcoin evolved out of it. Laszlo Hanyecz gave value to it, so these two are most important persons for the network to be this stronger. I don't know whether someone would've done this, if Laszlo Hanyecz hasn't bought the pizza with 10000BTC. Later we heard about people losing wallets with huge volume of Bitcoin and similar news. For all those news were made out of him. If he hasn't initiated the spending possibility, we could've never recognised the technology as well as bitcoin.
Bitcoin's first transaction was huge at this point in time. $300 million for pizza, well that's a huge sacrifice to make bitcoin an alternative payment at its current value. however, it is a sacrifice that needs to be made. anyways, i really appreciate mr Laszlo for doing this, and maybe good luck to the guy selling the pizza if he still has most of the bitcoins he receives. after all, this is one of the history in crypto world that I feel to be the first step of bitcoin transaction on real physical thing. He is a legend
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.
1. He sacrificed the Bitcoins he had just to make sure he could show people that It was possible to purchase physical items using Bitcoin.
2. Even when people were not responding to his offer, he did not give up and kept bumping the thread. This shows that he knew exactly what he was doing.

Some people thinks that what he did is stupidity and most of us think that it is something to regret knowing that you bought 2 pizza for something that worth millions of dollar right now.
He even over paid for the two pizza at that time. He clearly wasn't stupid about the whole idea.Oh boy, I didn't know this day was celebrated. Happy bitcoin pizza day everybody
Wow, that's quite surprising for someone who has been around for about 6 years 
The more merchants and retailers accepting Bitcoin as a payment option, the higher the demand for the coins and the higher the demand... the higher the price.

Oh boy, I didn't know this day was celebrated. Happy bitcoin pizza day everybody Not sure if Laszlo wants to remember that day in particular. It feels a bit like meme to me and if I were in his shoes I would hey drunk every year on this day. 300m USD for 2 pizzas is rough. Lazlo is the reason why I never would buy food with crypto currencies. You can consume food only one time and there is no value left after that. If you at least buy a physical asset you have something left. And even if bitcoins rally after your purchase you have something tangible that doesn't make it seem so bad. It's kinda sad he hasn't been online for so long.

The end result will be that you will be trading bitcoins and nobody will be able to spend it. People has to spend their bitcoins for retailers and merchants to accept it as a payment option.... and that is where Laszlo opened people's eyes to the real purpose/goal of Bitcoin.

But for him and for us, it is something of a legend in such a way that he did somehow change or even be a marked something to bitcoin showing to the whole crypto community that bitcoin is a currency that can be traded of or be used to buy something.
Anyways, Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to everyone!

12 Years ago on this date (22 May 2010) ... Laszlo Hanyecz bought 2 pizzas via this forum for 10 000 bitcoins ==> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137 and it was worth almost $41 back then. Those same bitcoins are now worth almost $300 000 000. 
He continued doing that for almost 3 months and then he declared that he cannot mine enough coins to sustain this. This made him a legend in the Bitcoin community, because he showed people that Bitcoin had worth and you can use it as a "Currency" / "Commodity" to trade or to pay for goods and services.
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.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to all of you, my Bitcoin friends.
