In this profit-seeking industry, stories about wealth growth are always more attractive. At 12:35 noon on May 18, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz from Florida, USA, published a post on the Bitcoin Forum. He hoped to exchange 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas. .

Pizza shop owners are busy making dough and scones every day, so naturally they have no time to visit Bitcoin forums. Laszlo understood this, so he emphasized that if you don't know how to make pizza, you can go to the pizza shop to buy it for me. In short, I will pay 10,000 Bitcoins, as long as you can give me two pieces of pizza. "I like onions, peppers, sausages and mushrooms, not the weird fish stuffing."

At the time, Bitcoin was just a year old and only popular among niche technology geek circles. Three days later, Laszlo’s post about buying pizza went unanswered. He was very anxious, so he posted again to ask if the 10,000 Bitcoins he paid was too little.

There was no clear price at that time whether 10,000 Bitcoins could be exchanged for two pieces of pizza, but some people did treat him as crazy and reminded him that in the United States, it is more convenient to buy pizza online with a credit card.

If you buy daily necessities or food, it is still more convenient to buy with credit card or cash. However, for what you like, you have to pay some price and make some unique attempts to be worthy of this love. Faced with doubts, Laszlo Hanyecz said pitifully, "I just thought it would be interesting if I could pay for pizza with Bitcoin."

On May 22, a young man named Jercos Sturdivan helped Laszlo realize his original wish. He bought two pizzas for $25 at a pizza shop called Papa John's and delivered them to Laszlo's home. After receiving the pizza, Laszlo excitedly posted the two pieces of pizza. In the photo, his one-year-old daughter reached out and grabbed one of the pizzas on the table. It was cute and funny.

Even though she was only one year old at the time, it was probably the most expensive food she had ever eaten in her life. You see, an ordinary piece of pizza can make a difference in life. In the movie Fast and Furious 7, Paul also said when he confessed to his beloved Mia, the best decision in my life was to walk into store and bought a sandwich even though it tasted really bad, so you hear it everywhere, love life.

Laszlo succeeded, and in the post he thanked Jercos who sent him the pizza.

On this day, Bitcoin had a price for the first time. 10,000 Bitcoins bought two pizzas worth US$25, and one Bitcoin was equivalent to approximately US$0.0025. But later on, people remember this day more by calculating how much the 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth today if they were kept at that time, such as Bitcoin Pizza, which broadcasts in real time how much 10,000 Bitcoins are worth on Twitter.

In April this year, the price of Bitcoin rose to a maximum of US$64,000 per coin, and 10,000 Bitcoins were worth US$640 million. I wonder if Laszlo still enjoys this decision at the time.

Before 2018, he said that he had no regrets. Laszlo, who was 39 years old at the time, was still the same boy as before, without any change. Facing the media, he said, "You know I have no regrets. I think it's great to be part of the early history of Bitcoin in this way. I have always promoted people to use Bitcoin, and using it to buy pizza is just one of the ways. ".

According to himself, he may have had 100,000 Bitcoins at most, but he has been using Bitcoins to buy things online and has not kept any. Some people say that half of the bitcoins were used to buy pizza. Some people say that the most expensive thing he has ever bought with bitcoins is a computer.

In short, he who once owned 100,000 Bitcoins did not become rich suddenly. If all these Bitcoins had been left at that time, 100,000 Bitcoins would have been worth a maximum of 6.4 billion US dollars. I don’t know how people would tell this story later. Maybe if he said that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, some people would believe him without any other evidence.

All his Bitcoins came from mining. He started mining in 2009. At first, he mined with a CPU, but later he felt that the CPU was too slow and unsatisfactory, so he switched to GPU mining. The speed was hundreds of times faster, 10 50 Bitcoins can be mined in minutes.

Time came to 2013. Compared with the first time he successfully bought pizza with Bitcoin, Laszlo was only three years old, but Bitcoin rose from US$0.0025 to US$1,000, an increase of 400,000 times. OKLink data shows that on December 5, 2013, the price of Bitcoin rose to a maximum of $1,152, and the computing power of the entire network also rose to 15PH/s.

At this time, the Bitcoin mining environment also changed. As early as June 2012, the American "Butterfly Lab" announced that it would launch an integrated circuit-based ASIC mining machine. In January 2013, domestic Zhang Nankang launched the first ASIC mining machine, the Awadrop. The era of CPU and GPU mining is gone forever, and Laszlo also stopped mining. He felt that continuing to mine would become an additional burden and affect his normal life, so he stopped.

He said he doesn't like mining as his main business, and it's more fun to do it casually without having to watch it from 9 to 5, although he still needs to write code for the online retail company GoRuck from 9 to 5.

Jercos, who resold pizza to Lazsol, didn't keep the 10,000 bitcoins. The next year, he sold the bitcoins for a total price of $400. He said that he spent the 400 US dollars on travel. The distance from Florida to New York is about 1,700 kilometers. Selling these 10,000 Bitcoins may not be enough to buy a round-trip ticket to New York, the capital of the American Empire. Time. It's really sad to say.
