The Bitcoin Pizza Purchase That's Worth $20 Million

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Florida programmer Laszlo Hanyecz convinced someone into accepting the 10,000 Bitcoins he'd "mined" on his computer in exchange for two pizzas.

“It wasn’t like Bitcoins had any value back then, so the idea of trading them for a pizza was incredibly cool,” Mr. Hanyecz told the New York Times recently.

Now that bitcoin is worth around $2600 that purchase is worth $30 Million. Back then in 2012 it was hard to speculate Bitcoin price will reach this high.

I am writing while eating a soft, hot, pepperoni pizza because unlike Hanyecz i still love pizza.
