Celebration Bitcoin Pizza Day.

[Patrol69]

Today is May 22 (May 22, 2010), the historic day when a gentleman named Laszlo Hanyecz purchased just two pizzas from a pizza vendor named Papa John's for 10,000 Bitcoins. Converting 10,000 bitcoins to US dollars according to current market value, the current market value of 10,000 bitcoins is 267017400$. That is, according to the current market price, Laszlo Hanyecz bought only 2 pizzas for 267017400$.  
The price of pizza is almost the same as before but guess how much the price of Bitcoin has increased.

We have lessons to learn from here. Given where the Bitcoin market value is now, 13 years from now, you can imagine where the Bitcoin market could be.  

Let's all celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Op, go and re-upload your image using Talkimg.com.
It seems like you're not aware of the fact that images hosted using Imgur no longer work in bitcointalk.

This should be the second pizza day I've celebrated since I became a part of this forum, altough I'm not quite sure if I was active to post that day or not.
I do wonder If he still regret his decision each he comes online on this day and sees that his iconic action is still being remembered by forum members and the whole bitcoin adopters.

edit
I forgot to add the iconic post itself.

I just want to report that I successfully traded 10,000 bitcoins for pizza.

To make it clearer, thats 267 million dollars. I am not even writing what the rest is, just 267 million dollars should be enough to show how insanely high this was in amount, it just doesn't make sense. I understand obviously that this was just one time thing and anyone back in those days that were willing to spend this much, also had some bitcoins leftover. Laszlo talked about this before, he said that wasn't all he had and he had more and he cashed out some of them later on as well. I guess he is not a poor person at all. Like when we talk about him spending 10k on pizzas, we make it look like he had nothing left and he is starving today, dude did that, and then used the dollars to buy more bitcoins later on, so he was an early bird who got out with some decent chunk, definitely not a mistake for him.

267 million dollars is a value of 10,000 bitcoins at today price, not at 2021 all time high price that is about more than two times of this value.

Even laszlo is poor after all his sales of bitcoins with cheap prices, it is not a big issue with him or with us. Time flies and nobody can revert time so we have to live moving forward without regret about our past decisions.

However we can learn from laszlo trade that we should never sell all of anything we own and believe in its future. We can keep about 10% or 20% of what we own for future. The 10% or 20% of our asset has unknown future and we might have a fortune with it or nothing with it in future. If we already have profit from our investment, we don't regret if the 10% or 20% turns to 0 in future but we will be very happy if it turns to be our big fortune.

Just read about this. It will be more interesting if both parties starts using bitcointalk again. It's a lesson pizza can be very expensive.

Let's all celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Today on this day 22nd May 2010 a legend ordered two pizzas for his family for 10000 bitcoins which is going to be 13 years today. Hoping to spread the joy of Bitcoin Pizza Day to all Bitcoin Forum community members today.
Although the price of Bitcoin was less than cents at that time in 2010, the first person to order a pizza in exchange for Bitcoin was the first product to be bought and sold in Bitcoin history. If it weren't for that event, we wouldn't have Bitcoin Pizza Day today.

Thanks Lazlo Hanycez
Thanks Papa john

Bitcoin's future is guaranteed to be headed in the right direction. So if we leave the total assets (20%-30%) for a long time there will be no problem. Because even if you sell everything you spend, all the money will be gone. So even if you keep some wealth, your danger will go away. BITCOIN WEALTH FUTURE Looking at Laszlo's past performance, I can be sure that Bitcoin will surely move forward with great speed into the future. Had he kept a fraction of the 10,000 bitcoins in the present day, he would have built up a huge wealth.
Today we can enjoy this day because we bought two pizzas with 10 thousand bitcoins. And we can learn from this incident that some assets should be left for the long term.

This is a big lesson for us from Laszlo using 10000 btc to purchase just two pizzas. Assuming he knows that in the very near future bitcoin price will surge high to the 26+k,I don't think that he would have made this moves. Some forum members are not happy that bitcoin is used as an asset, instead they want us to use bitcoin for our everyday transaction because bitcoin was created as an alternative means of payment. Forgetting that bitcoin volatile nature in 13yrs time from now can make one who hold on to his investment a winner. When you think like this that bitcoin is dying because it is used as an asset. You might end making the drastic mistake that Laszlo made and you will regret your action of failing to hodi for long. My first time to be part of this great day,nobody believes in 2010 that bitcoin will be a valuable commodity with time passage.

Aside from value, Laszlo was trying to test the usability of Bitcoin for peer 2 peer trade such as paying for the pizza with the 10k bitcoins regardless of what its DCA value is, and above all Laszlo was trying to create a record of being the first person to exchange bitcoin for a pizza and that sigler act has become a historic events in bitcoin history.

Some consider the 10kBTC as being too much doe a pack of pizza 🍕 but then know what Laszlo's bitcoin balance was at that time, and considering how easy and cheap bitcoin was at that time, he could afford to throw off such amount without much worries of what the price could be short.

Above all happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone.

Quite incredible to think how far Bitcoin has come from those early days. Happy Bitcoin Pizza day!

[aoluain]

Happy Bitcoin Pizza day to the community here!

Its definitely a day to celebrate and commemorate if possible the day Bitcoin was successfully
traded for something else and it just happened to be Pizza.

We shouldnt get hung up about todays FIAT value of 10,000BTC. Bitcoin yesterday, today and
tomorrow is being sold or traded for something.

This is one of the most important events in the history of bitcoins and one of the few insane transactions being made. Man! that's a history right there and we celebrate this event every year giving respect to the guys who made this transaction happens. I guess the people that are patient enough to wait this long to sell their bitcoins are also worthy of getting some appreciation from us because they too make some huge contributions to the crypto market and we see some of those bitcoins are finally moving right now, they probably think this is the best time to also sold their bitcoins as well.

In 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for BTC10,000 Bitcoins from Papa John's. And buying a pizza with Bitcoin was the world's first purchase of goods with cryptocurrency. At the time Laszlo Hanyecz was interested in buying pizza with his bitcoins but no one sold pizzas with bitcoins but Papa John's sold two pizzas for BTC10000 bitcoins. and at that time the market value of Bitcoin was equivalent to $42 dollars. And buying pizza with BTC10000 bitcoins has made history in the world and now many products are bought through bitcoins. World Pizza Day is being celebrated today on 22 May. Happy Pizza Day to all.

[Bd officer]

Today is the 13th Bitcoin Pizza Day. Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins on May 22, 2010. He was the first to use Bitcoin commercially. The history he made, hundreds of years will pass but no one can make history like him.
Today I will celebrate Pizza Day by buying a pizza.
Happy Pizza Day everyone

[retreat]

The average of us here must have experienced the same as Laszlo's, for example, I used to get around 20K Dogecoin as payment for my services and sold it for 100 USD in early 2021, but 5 months later the price of Doge went up like crazy, and if I hold on until that month I should be able to earn around 10K USD. Even though that is a pretty big number, I don't regret it, and instead I made it as a joke and took the lesson that if you are consistent to hold your coins, remember that there will be opportunities for it to rise in the future and you can become a millionaire from it.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Yes, we have thank Laszlo Hanyecz for the Pizza day, he really did something big to the community,

Here is the iconic post:

Pizza for bitcoins?

And then some worth mentioning as well:

• Happy Bitcoin Pizza day
• Bitcoin Pizza Day 2023
• Thank you Laszlo Hanyecz! Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
• Bitcoin Pizza Day contest on Discord

And this event will never be forgotten by the community, it's one of those historic acts embedded already in Bitcoin.

[cryptoaddictchie]

So I guess I am having pizza later evening. Well to commemorate the events that everyone in the crypto space would never forget. That a 10k btc sold for pizza boxes. Well thats something we should always remember, Im thinking if I could finish a Papa john pizza box alone.

How much in bitcoin those 2 boxes of pizza now? Epic event on bitcoin history. I wonder if Laszlo also celebrating it today by pizza.

[drwhobox]

10 years and I am still wondering what happens to those bitcoins. Papa john sold the bitcoin or lost them or hold them and sell them later. What was the price when papa john sold them?

[Agbe]

Op you were too hurry to create the bitcoin pizza celebration thread if not the date you created the thread has not reached the pizza day. You created the thread on    
May 21, 2023, 09:43:12 PM original time the thread was created
Last edit: May 21, 2023, 10:07:28 PM  edited time the thread was created. And being today which is the 22nd of May, 2123 is the original Bitcoin Pizza Day. Therefore, you over rush the thread.

Bit of a time capsule, eh? It's wild to think that a simple pie could tip the scales of value, right? Bitcoin Pizza Day is like a yearly homage to Bitcoin's staggering upsurge, a cherished custom among the crypto clan. It's as if we're saluting a mega-successful comrade each time – a cocktail of admiration and a hint of jealousy.

This eccentric narrative underscores the latent potential of sprouting technologies. It stresses the crux of clear-sightedness and daring in the whirlwind investment sector, more so in the pulsating and promising dimension of digital assets. It sets the stage for speculation - what might be today's "Bitcoin Pizzas", primed to metamorphose into fortunes tomorrow?

But don't forget, if the thought of swapping your Bitcoin for a greasy indulgence crosses your mind, that pizza might just fetch you a private archipelago someday. Keep that HODL spirit alive, mates!
