Celebration Bitcoin Pizza Day.

[examplens]

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?

Years ago, when Bitcoin Pizza Day was discussed, everyone was talking about Laszlo and this strange initiative of his. Is it known if Papa John's immediately cashed in that 10k BTC, or he saved at least part of it and thus in some way used such a gift from Laszlo?
If Papa John's cashed them in for that $40, what it was worth then, they have just as much reason to yearn for that moment.[/list][/list]

[Fiatless]

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

I don't like reading the story because I always consider today's worth of Bitcoin comparing it with the worth of the pizza. It may seem to be a waste but this act is symbolic. He paved the way for Bitcoin to achieve its goal as a currency. From many interviews conducted Laszlo Hanyecz has always reiterated that he didn't regret his actions. He paid a huge sacrifice for the community and just like you can't discuss Bitcoin without mentioning Satoshi, Hal Finney, etc the name Laszlo Hanyecz will always be remembered for this uncommon act. I will definitely celebrate today with a pizza and somebody must know about Bitcoin today through me. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to this great community.

On this day Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. Its current value is 26822×10000=$268220000. He never imagined that Bitcoin would be worth so much. If Laszlo Hanyecz had known, he might not have ordered two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. However, he launched the first bitcoin payment by buying two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins, which no one had done before. As long as the world lasts, as long as there is Bitcoin, we will remember this day with respect for. With that I wish everyone a Happy Bitcoin Day. Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.

I would like to trade sats for pizza today. Seriously if you want a pizza and you send me enough sats to cover your order I'll use my crypto.com card to have one delivered to you.

If you would prefer to buy me a pizza (We're gluten free so I would want to pick the pizza and carryout location yes I'll even pick it up) I will send you a lightning payment.

Poor Laszlo. I feel sorry for him. It's cool to realize that our forum has long been a world legendary place with which such stories are connected. I found laszlo's account, and his activity is 199. Apparently, the forum was only a temporary place for him to pass through. Nevertheless, many people throw Merit to him, as if an offering to a monument.

Nevertheless, it was such people who created the price of bitcoin by such actions. And this is very important.

I am on Elon Musk's starship and we are on Mars, can you have one pack of pizza delivered to me?

I am ready to cover all expenses  , like seriously today is truly a memorable day as it marks the official usage of Bitcoin to pay for a real good such as pizza which is something remarkable enough.

I’m not sure how I would get a pizza to mars I’ll tweet Elon and see what it would cost

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?

The most fascinating aspect of purchasing pizza with digital coins was the exhilarating experience of engaging in the first-ever transaction using a cryptocurrency. Since then, we have witnessed numerous trades involving Bitcoin and various other altcoins. Bitcoin persevered through numerous challenges to pave the way for the cryptocurrency industry, solidifying its position as the foremost digital currency both in the present and for the foreseeable future.

Happy (late) Pizza Day for everyone...

I'm just sorry that this major event didn't made him to stick to the community for the coming years since then. Or if he's involved, no one knows about it. At least I don't know anything else about this person!
I just hope he didn't kill himself after the first major ATH after he spent that amount of Bitcoins!
He created a twitter account I think in 2018 or something like that.

[siniminomorocomunisakito]

It was very impressive what happened on May 22, 2010. This is a very special moment, this is the great journey of Bitcoin. Yes. like @Patrol69 said if we review and compare the value, currently the market value of Bitcoin is so large and capable of reaching unexpected levels. Let's join in the celebration of Bitcoin Pizza Day and enjoy a delicious meal while appreciating the progress that has taken place. Cheers!

He was not unfortunate he thought that bitcoin would not explode after more than a decade but with that incident it became history in this forum that remembers him every year.

I can't imagine that he is active again in this forum by telling his story again, of course he will be made happy because his history will always be remembered.

But many people are happy with this celebration? Of course we also know that Pizza is a delicious food and it will remain in history forever.

To be honest at the time he probably felt like a genius. He backed away from an investment he thought was failing and he traded it for something of high value pleasure in the form of pizza. At that time, it was worth it regardless now. I think the two guys won the deal, just to different degrees, obviously. On Pizza Day, we have a lot to learn about investing in bitcoin, don't be afraid that we will buy as much bitcoin as possible because bitcoin will be very valuable in the future.

Apart from that Laszlo Hanyecz is an absolute legend. Laszlo Hanyecz This is the first time Bitcoin is exchanged for a product (Pizza). The single value set for bitcoins. Extraordinary.

[Obari]

I guess I'm late on the thread but I still want to wish everyone a happy bitcoin  pizza day and I also ate some pizza in commensuration with the day.
But no one should every think the buyer did something wrong because from my perspective,  I think his decision  is one of the reasons we're are enjoying  the rewards of bitcoin  because he was the one who initiated a transaction using Bitcoin.
And beside no one ever imagined bitcoin  would rise to this amount and you can imagine finally having use a payment method that almost seemed useless in getting something  value like food🤔?
I guess it was the excitement  and I'm sure that the buyer is still very rich in bitcoin  to have give out such amount of bitcoin for pizza.

[Smartvirus]

That is, according to the current market price, Laszlo Hanyecz bought only 2 pizzas for 267017400$.

I wonder what's the prize of same pizza at the time now from the same vendor?
I don't hope to see much difference except for the effect if inflation to have coursed a slight rise in prize but still, the prize isn't something that would be worth a discussion.
Though, it tells how one commodity have got less value compare to the other and should be placed ahead of the other. The investment mindset wasn't applied here.

Looking into it for real, this guy made a sweet deal at the time and it went into hatory as the first ever recorded bitcoin transaction between parties.
I got to watch a twitter interview by Laszlo only yesterday and he didn't seem to have any much regrets about it.

[dlightag]

That is a very big regret to Mr Laszlo Hanyecz, by remembering the past mistake that created world financial history of his Lost of funds, that is reason why in any business you're doing, try make a research about the business and the potential of the business you're doing, which is Bitcoin is a digital assets that has already created for future financial services, that keeps adding value's from time to time. In other words, Laszlo Hanyecz sold out the current price of Bitcoin and he was happy enjoying pizza.

Comparing the price paid over two mere pizza's on that specific date will just make you anxious because you will start some computation in your head and then there are lot's of what ifs that will start surrounding your head. There's no need to keep on thinking about what happened before and let's just focus on what is ahead of us because that is more important. As you said, the man Lazlo Hanyecz paid a price so that it will be more known in the world and just what he envisioned and the creator of course, it did really happen after 13 years.

Now, it's our time to support and continue what they have started by disseminating the knowledge that has been passed to us and of course by holding cryptocurrencies as much as possible.

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.

I think its probably because of his timezone and that of the forum time, I have a reason to believe his is from Bangladesh and the time their is actually five to six hours ahead of the time here so he might have posted it at the actually date of the celebration which is the 22 of may. But notwithstanding, its all part of the celebration and that first transaction that Laszlo did with bitcoin actually marked and pave the way for many more transaction with bitcoin till date and its has certainly been a milestone since that first recorded purchase @13 years and counting .

Happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone but I guess its already past now

[hannahB4]

Laszlo Hanyecz might get another bitcoin later apart from the ones he sold, but my question is if Papa John also sold the coin for a pizza amount or made a profit out of it. The two of them today will look back and they will be the ones to determine if the decision then was good or not. But to call a spade the owner of the bitcoin can't hold the coin this far to this date.
