Pizza day

[nemesis_incarnate]

Go back to the early posts; you will find more than one "Laszlo" who exchanged his bitcoins and was happy. I think there is no point in talking about how these people feel now; we all live in our own time, by the standards that exist in it. Thoughts that someone could now have some island and be rich may come to the minds of many early investors, but if we are talking about "here and now," then we act as the time requires. I think in the future there will be the same scoffers who will consider our actions today stupid. However, all this makes a good story, in the broad sense of the word.

100% correct, we all have sold Bitcoin and continue to do so today, in the future
there will be more threads like this condemning our actions for not HODL'ing.

Laszlo did something ground breaking at the time which at that time was worth
the BTC both in monetary terms and in Bitcoins journey. That first transaction
with Bitcoin was for our benefit too. It is part of Bitcoins history now and contributed
to Bitcoins development and acceptance at that time.

I dont see anything negative about it at all.

Some people are just salty about the fact - and that's okay too.

But we need to be on the bright side of things and understand that was done as it should of been - BTC was used properly, and that's great. It was monumented into its history - and that's great too. More great stuff to come

which means his contribution is greatly recognized by the Bitcoin community.

Of course the Bitcoin community widely recognizes his contribution because his transaction was historic even to my knowledge this active developer was the first to use Bitcoin commercially. Besides he was a miner, so the value of those bitcoins probably wasn't very high for him. 15 years after his pizza purchase, Bitcoin has already surpassed Amazon in terms of market capitalization, and Bitcoin has currently touched $111k so now it is proven that his 2  pizza is currently worth billions of dollars.

It must be said that today is an important day for us because Bitcoin has reached an all-time high and Bitcoin Pizza Day has turned 15. At that time the value of Bitcoin was literally low, but now many are following him because of his noble work.

Yes you are very correct Laszlo made history with what he did and as long as bitcoin keeps existing people will always remember him and for me I think this is a big success for him, the world celebrate his action every year.
Some people says Laszlo is regretting his action anywhere he is but that's not true he was interviewed and I watched the interview on YouTube he said his not regretting his action and I believe him because he has made a name that can never die as long as Bitcoin continues to exist and I'm sure that was not only the Bitcoin he was holding he had more Bitcoin and he may still be holding Bitcoin till date, so what exactly will he be regretting, since he has said his not regretting I think we should leave it that way.
Bitcoin is now one of best investment or assets right now in the world and I'm very sure Laszlo is so proud being the first person to make a transaction with it.

I don't know how I would feel if I were Laszlo, but it's good that he has no regrets. At least he's made his name in Bitcoin history. The Bitcoin community can't mention Bitcoin Pizza Day without mentioning Laszlo. So he has every right to be proud, as he's one of the few people who made Bitcoin history.

Is there even need to cry out loud of something you did in the past and the whole world is being celebrating you for that? Of course not. Infact, the bitcoin pizza day's is basically honoured for Laszlo so if you ask him if he ever regretted his action, I guess he'll say no because if he never took the path he would not had been this globally recognized as there'd not had been such a pizza day for the bitcoin community. Therefore, the seasonal pizza day's celebrations basically recognizes Laszlo as the celebrant which is been a credit to him instead of regretting it.
However, he had Seth upon history of his own time on bitcoin.

He left his impact on the history of BTC and has a whole day to be remembered of what he did - it's a feat of in itself, not to mention that he did to use BTC as it is, not as a stunt or fame (as many do these days).

It is true that people cannot think of anything more than they need, because Laszlo Haniej bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. But if he could have imagined the present, he would have definitely stopped himself from doing that. People always think about their profit and that time he thought that he did everything for his profit only.

Today is Pizza Day, and BTC made a new ATH. I wonder how he would be feeling right now for giving out 10,000 BTC for just two Pizzas. LOL, I wouldn't be able to leave with myself if I were the one, and to my greatest surprise, he says he doesn't regret it.

How would you feel if you were the one who gave out 10,000 BTC for 2 boxes of pizza?

This is nothing to worry about, because as of then, the value of bitcoin is what we are going to consider and not that of this present time, he should not regret doing that because we don't even know, maybe his action is using bitcoin to buy two pizza boxes was part of the reason that spark for the use and acceptance of bitcoin in making payment more faster as the news spread across the world, thill people begin to consider the use of bitcoin in making any form of payment after the first attempt by Lazlo.

Now people wouldn't be eager to use their BTC at all because of how valuable it is - the meta shifts, and how we view BTC and what to do with it - too.

For now, it's the best store of value out there, in the future - who knows

He used it as a currency to pay for what he wants at that time like most of us did in the early stage of Bitcoin.
No one knows that the price of Bitcoin would rise this much, he didn't regret it cause he moved on from it.
I also think that most of those who are active in crypto at that time has already sold their coins when the price increase. drastically from the previous years.

Sometimes, we need to just go forward, even if it's hard to consider what - could of - been done.

The moment is gone. The person in question bought something with BTC properly. And that's it - no big bang for him, he did what he wanted, how he wanted, with what he wanted - and he is forever in BTC's history now.

Let us forget about Laszlo Hanyecz that bought 2 pizza for 10K BTC and talk about Papa John who sold the pizza to him because if Papa John is still alive and actually HODL the bitcoins, then he should be tagged along with laszlo as the heros of bitcoin because it would be that Laszlo made bitcoin become popular while Papa John will be so wealthy by now but i doubt if Papa John is still alive because at that time he was already old and this is 15 years after.

Now coming to your question, if i was the one that use 10k BTC to buy 2 pizza then and i now saw how progressive the price have been, i will only regret it if am poor currently but if i'm still rich, there's nothing to regret. Another thing that will make me not to regret much is that i will be happy that am celebrated yearly by bitcoiners because that feeling alone is heavenly.

Of course, he contributed and also made it recognized as a way of payment, and I appreciate him for that. No one could fight him for doing that, but IMO that was a crazy move
