One thing that most people don't realize about Laszlo and the Bitcoin pizza ordeal is that he didn't just buy 2 Large Pizzas (Papa Johns too, the most awful pizza you can buy here in the United States) for 10,000 bitcoins, he stated here on bitcointalk that he spent at least 30,000 bitcoins on several purchases of pizza. Not sure if all Papa Johns or not. Crazy stuff. Some call him an idiot for this, which is simply wrong. He was the first to use it as a means of exchange and that sure is worth celebrating.
He can be considered as idiot if he is spending that same amount of Bitcoin today for some pizza. At that time, nobody can be able to predict that someday BTC can be so valuable...there was no Nostradamus at their side. Anyway, this was a good story and will forever remain as one of the most famous and amazing stories relative to Bitcoin. It is always good to be reminded with the Bitcoin Pizza Day every year.
