Meet the Man Who Bought 2 Pizzas for 10,000 BTC...???? Bitcoin Pizza Day

Hi, Ante here!

Let's face it... We've all heard of one man's giant mistake which is - buying pizza with bitcoin years ago... But was it really a mistake or a stroke of genius?
Well, in this video we meet the man who spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas back in 2010 and his reasoning behind doing so. At the time, bitcoin was worth basically nothing, and the network needed to step up its game in order to continue growing as foreseen.

Also, definitely check the forum thread made by Laszlo Hanyecz since when he first offered 10,000 BTC in exchange for pizza, it's an awesome read and there's plenty to go through. there you will see that it wasn't just a single case of Bitcoin Pizza purchase, but that there were numerous in the weeks to follow.
