This one you may have heard of. Back in May of 2010, one Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins for a couple of juicy pies.
Many people like to put on their Captain Hindsight cape and poke fun at Laszlo for spending the now equivalent of millions of dollars on pizza. It’s easy to say that now, but back then it was commendable that Laszlo was using Bitcoin for its intended use (peer to peer cash).
When asked more recently, Laszlo says he has no regrets about the transaction. We hope that’s true :).
You can celebrate Laszlo and his famous pizza purchase every year on May 18th. We personally order two pies in honor of the day and furiously refresh our portfolio (honestly, that sounds like our regular Wednesday, but hey.)
