Laszlo Hanyecz didn’t just buy pizza, he proved Bitcoin had real-world value. It was the first-ever recorded purchase using BTC. Back then: 10,000 BTC = $41 Now: 10,000 BTC = $1,100,000,000+/-

Why was this moment historic? Because until that pizza transaction, BTC was just internet magic. Laszlo’s order made it real. Pizza became proof-of-work. Literal proof Bitcoin could buy stuff.

From there, we got: Ethereum (smart contracts) DeFi (finance without banks) DAOs (governance by code) NFTs (ownership of art, identity, memes) All because one guy got hungry.

Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t just about memes. It’s a reminder: Big shifts often start with small, human actions. Like hunger. Curiosity. Code.
