16 years ago today, someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
Today? That stack is worth over NZ$1.3 billion.
The most expensive takeaway in history, but someone had to be first. Someone had to spend it, prove it worked, show this magic internet money could actually buy something real.
So today we salute Laszlo Hanyecz who bought the pizzas
and inspired SPEDNERS around the world!
Happy Pizza Day.!
