Someone actually used 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas ten years ago?

"Can you believe someone used 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas?! Was it really worth spending so much money on those two pizzas? Let's delve into the story together.

The story dates back to a decade ago when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz expressed on a Bitcoin forum his willingness to spend 10,000 bitcoins to purchase two pizzas. At that time, Bitcoin had just emerged, and the concept of transactions had not fully formed. The value of 10,000 bitcoins was roughly equivalent to thirty dollars. After a few days, he found a seller and excitedly posted pictures of the pizzas online, making the aroma almost palpable through the screen! This marked the first-ever transaction involving Bitcoin. As Bitcoin's price surged over the years, the value of those pizzas skyrocketed to 470 million dollars. This incident turned him into a legend in the Bitcoin community. However, he chose to live a low-profile life without making a big fuss about his status.

I wonder if he had known that Bitcoin would appreciate so much in the future, he probably wouldn't have used those 10,000 bitcoins to buy pizzas. After all, with one bitcoin now worth over forty thousand dollars, those 10,000 bitcoins would have made him incredibly wealthy! However, there's no hindsight in the world, and we can't predict the future. Something seemingly worthless at one point can become extremely valuable at any moment."

After reading this, I wish I had a time machine to go back and be the person selling pizzas to him at that time.

Back then, it was considered good if these virtual coins could be used for something.

Real wealthy individuals don't need to boast about themselves. Instead, they often choose to live a low-key lifestyle.

I remember during that time, many people were using laptops for mining, and the efficiency was very high.
