Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day; The story of two pizzas worth 9,000 billion tomans!

Twelve years ago on this day, someone paid 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas. The value of these bitcoins, with a price of about $ 300 million today, is equivalent to approximately 9,000 billion tomans. Every year Bitcoin fans celebrate this day as “Bitcoin Pizza Day”.

On May 18, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a user of the BitcoinTalk Forum, an online community of the Bitcoin community, created a Topic He said he was willing to pay 10,000 bitcoins to buy two homemade pizzas.

He wrote in his post:

I pay 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. It can be said that maybe two big pizzas that I can keep for tomorrow. I like the leftover pizza that I can eat slowly. You can make your own pizza and bring it or order it for me to bring home, but my goal is to pay for it with bitcoin. I do not want to make or order myself. It’s like a hotel where you ask for a breakfast table and they bring it to you and you take care of it! I like onions, peppers, sauces, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and things like that on pizza. Something standard and ordinary; Not that a weird seasoning has been added. I also like regular cheese pizzas that are not too hard or expensive to make. If you are interested, let me know so we can make the deal. Thanks Laszlo

Pay 10,000 bitcoins for two big pizzas; The figure that can be used today to open dozens of large and luxurious pizzeria branches. However, at the time, Laszlo was accused of trying to get a free pizza by trickery, because at the time, 10,000 bitcoins were only worth $ 40. The same day one of the users responded to Laszlo Wrote:

10,000 to… really few… of these bitcoins can be found at www.bitcoinmarket.com [اولین صرافی بیت کوین] Sell ​​for $ 41… Good luck with Mufti Pizza.

When Laszlo published that post, each bitcoin unit was priced at about $ 0.004 (about $ 70). Now, according to data from the Digital Currency Website, assuming a price of $ 30,000 for Bitcoin, having tens of thousands of bitcoins, or a fortune of $ 300 million; A dream that once cost only $ 40.

It took a few days for Laszlo to find someone willing to give two pizzas in exchange for something that has no definite roots and future. Finally, on May 22, 2010, Laszlo was able to buy two large pizzas by paying tens of thousands of bitcoins to a man nicknamed jercos, who lived in the same neighborhood. It was later revealed that Jersey’s real name was Jeremy Sturdivant.

Just a few months later, in November 2010, the value of these bitcoins reached $ 2,600. In 2011, tens of thousands of bitcoins were valued at about $ 18,000, and from time to time bitcoin users updated the price of these bitcoins; But even the most optimistic bitcoin fans did not think that $ 41 bitcoin was worth more than $ 300 million a day.

Laszlo then paid several times more for bitcoins to buy pizza and other items His own claim It has donated about 100,000 bitcoins along the way, which today are worth more than $ 3 billion. But that was not the end of the matter. In February 2018, Laszlo once again purchased two Lightning pizzas to help expand the Bitcoin Lightning network.

Jeremy Stardyont, the man who made a fortune giving two pizzas, is probably longing to be patient these days. he in مصاحبه‌ای He told the Telegraph Coin that he sold those 10,000 bitcoins a long time ago when the value of these bitcoins reached several hundred dollars.

Last year, on such a day, the value of 10,000 bitcoins was about 9,000 billion tomans, and this year, although the market has gone through many fluctuations, this amount of bitcoins is just as valuable. How much do you think 10,000 bitcoins will be worth next year?
