P.S. Do you think CZ knew there would be a court case against him in a year? ;DI don't like the way he tries to promote Binance by taking advantage of any event, just wearing a T-shirt with the platform's logo is enough.
Thats the thing that people forget about, this dude didn't bankrupted or anything, I have read his response about seven years ago, and not even just recently and he said that he had a lot more than that and kept it, even if he sold it seven years ago that is still a wealthy person, and I am sure that he still keeps some for sure. This dude had tens of bitcoins, maybe over 100k amount, and he used it exactly as intended, as a currency, and made more of it later on as well. Its definitely a good day but I do get a chuckle every time people say "he must regret it", dude not only has more, but the bitcoins he has left, increased in value thanks to his transaction as well.I think that only those who don't have much BTC would scoff at Laszlo Heinitz's decision to use BTC to buy pizza. This first invoice opened up the value of BTC in the economy, meaning that BTC could be used to pay for goods and services in the real world. If there were no similar actions, if everyone wanted to keep BTC in their accounts, the BTC market would not exist and BTC would continue to have no value.

Now, while many of us would surely regret what happened, I think we should always remember that this was actually a landmark transaction, the first one where Bitcoin was used to buy something. And that is why we have the Bitcoin Pizza Day today to commemorate such a pivotal event in Bitcoin's colorful history.Yeah, I think it's difficult to expect nothing less than people laughing or criticizing his decision to buy pizza with Bitcoin. A lot of people like to trash others nowadays, especially on the internet. I dunno why, maybe because they're too stressed with real-life problems and the internet is their place to vent. Fortunately, I've seen many people celebrate this historic day with something positive like doing quizzes, contests, and so on. Staying from social media probably helps if you don't want to get spoonfed with negativity or misinformation about Pizza Day.

I always read that kind of shortsighted reaction to the pizza transaction which amounted to 10,000 BTC which is currently worth $693,000,000 paid by now famous Laszlo Hanyecz for two boxes of Papa Johns pizzas.

And that is why we have the Bitcoin Pizza Day today to commemorate such a pivotal event in Bitcoin's colorful history. Instead of felling some regret, we should instead celebrate maybe by also buying a box of pizza and if possible using our BTC wallet.

Today is a notable holiday in the crypto world - #Bitcoin pizza day - on 22 May 2010, the first officially known purchase of a tangible object with bitcoins. Laszlo Hanyecz (Laszlo Hanyecz) bought 2 pizzas for 10000 bitcoins. Then he repeated this purchase 4 more times for a total of 50,000 #BTC spent on 10 pizzas. By the way, he's fine - probably didn't spend all the bits on pizza. Order a pizza and check your #BTC balance.The most celebrated day in bitcoin history the first purchase and that is Pizza with an outstanding and huge amount of bitcoin.
P.S. Do you think CZ knew there would be a court case against him in a year? ;Dwell what is important is that he celebrate this special day.

Well actually I just remember this event right upon reading threads on forums because I already forget the Bitcoin pizza day for a couple of years now since I jump into crypto forums in 2016. Very memorable day to be honest as it marks Bitcoin as being used in purchasing something earlier in the history.10k Bitcoins were not of great value until after what happened in 2013. I am surprised when was the first time this event was celebrated.
He did not buy pizza directly from Papa Johns, but rather a friend offered to send him these bitcoins in exchange for buying him pizza. His name was roughly Jeremy “Jercos.”
Interestingly, no one asks what Papa Johns did with all those Bitcoins, did he sold them immediately or hodl and for how long

Q. What do you primarily use bitcoins for? Do you still control millions of dollars worth?
A. Bitcoin as a currency is meant to be spent. Those 10,000 BTC made it back into the economy fairly quickly, around the time they were worth some $400. A ~10x ROI from simply trading in a different currency is quite good, even if that factor could have been higher had I held on to said currency longer.

~It's live. Of course, he will not say negative things in front of a camera. :)
Overall, he is really a patience dude, I mean people committed suicide or did bad things just because they lost a lot of money, and this dude on the live show says he doesn't regret that activity. BTW in his interview, he did not even mention he spent 50,000 BTC on 10 Pizza. Can you please share a source link to this fact, its really blowing my mind,
It's live. Of course, he will not say negative things in front of a camera. :)You are right, if you are having "what if" thoughts then there is no way back, the best practice is to have some belief otherwise people lose hope and tend to do bad things to themselves. I hope this man is a man of belief, he must have some BTC or other source of income, he is already popular, I hope he won't be facing any type of criticism from his friends, or his family won't be facing any type of criticism as well.
I'm not saying that he really doesn't regret what he did more than a decade ago because there's a chance that he really doesn't, but at the backmost tip of his mind, there are times where he is questioning himself because of what he did at that time.
Yes, it became an iconic and unforgettable event, but that 10,000 Bitcoins that he had at that time can change his life and his family completely. He might not regret it, but there will be "what if's" coming to his mind not only today, but in the future.
