Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!

On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. At the time, it cost about £10. Today? About £250 million.

To celebrate how far Bitcoin has come — and commemorate history’s most expensive pizzas — let’s take a look at 4 things 10,000 BTC could buy in 2021.

- 28 million large cheese pizzas
- 165,000 moped scooters (for local delivery)
- 3 commercial airplanes (for coast-to-coast delivery)
- 14 billion after-dinner mints

If that’s how much #Bitcoin has changed since 2010, just think how different things could look in the next 11 years. Hopefully pizza still tastes the same.
