What is Bitcoin Pizza Day (Bitcoin Pizza Day)? He bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins
After the birth of Bitcoin, its earliest real-world related transactions were used on a piece of pizza. In May 2010, Laszlo Hanyets, a programmer in Florida, USA, used 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two large pizzas worth about $25 from netizens. Some people joked that this may be the worst foodie in the world. Two pizzas ruined a future billionaire.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper and CBS News, Laszlo explained how he came up with the idea of buying pizza with Bitcoin.
“I just sincerely think that if I can say: Hey, I just exchanged these open source Internet funds for a good thing in the real world. I think you know what else is better than food. Food is the most basic. Necessities-you know pizza, every geek knows pizza”-Laszlo Hanyecz
He said that he has no regrets about buying Bitcoin and he is very happy to contribute to the development of Bitcoin in any way. Laszlo believes that it is unhealthy to treat your past as regret or loss (To be honest, we might not think so! That’s a lot of money).
The New York Times reporter paid “10 BTC” for dinner 7 years ago, and the restaurant owner now closes the shop and half-retires comfortably
2013 Bitcoin ushered in the first wave of skyrocketing moments, rising from $13 in January to $1,163 in November. So in May 2013, at the time Forbes New York Times reporter Kashmir Hill decided to challenge for a week. Living with Bitcoin, trying to test the value of Bitcoin in the “real world”, unexpectedly created the “semi-retirement life” of the restaurant owner.
After Bitcoin skyrocketed to more than $20,000, Hill plucked up the courage to call the restaurant owner, and the news she got was that the restaurant owner is currently in a “semi-retired state.”
Now, the restaurant owner and his wife have closed the restaurant and entered semi-retirement life.
The restaurant owner told Hill that after that dinner, he successively received 31 bitcoins, holding a total of 41 bitcoins. Then in 2017, they closed the restaurant.
However, in 2017, after Bitcoin rose to several thousand dollars, he sold about a quarter of the Bitcoin. Seeing the current increase, the restaurant owner admitted that he regretted it.
The strongest belief! The Bitcoin family sold a house in 2017 for “900 BTC”, making a huge profit of nearly 2000% and still buying
The Taihuttu family of five from the Netherlands can be said to be the strongest believers in Bitcoin (BTC). They reached a consensus in 2017 and decided to sell all their belongings to buy Bitcoin, including a room covering an area of 2,500 square feet (about 70 pings) Real estate and profitable companies. Since then, they have lived a nomadic life, also known as the “Bitcoin family”.
Four years have passed so far, and their footprints have spread to nearly 40 countries. The father of this family, Didi Taihuttu, accepted an interview with the foreign media “CNBC” on December 3, 2020 and said: We stepped into Bitcoin because we wanted to change our lives
No matter Bitcoins rise and fall, he continues to buy
Taihuttu pointed out that most of their bitcoins were purchased in early 2017, when the currency price was only about 900 US dollars.
At the end of 2017, Bitcoin ushered in the first round of bull market, which skyrocketed to an all-time high of close to US$20,000; however, this collapsed at the end of 2018 and fell to a minimum of US$3,100. The crash that year allowed Taihuttu to take the opportunity to deploy more bitcoins in its portfolio.
Until Bitcoin finally hit a record high at US$19,915 earlier this month, which has risen by more than 1953% since the beginning of 2017, Taihuttu chose to continue to invest in Bitcoin, and even the amount of investment has doubled more than that year.
Taihuttu cited the announcement of the global payment giant PayPal to support the function of buying and selling cryptocurrencies as an example, and further explained:
When PayPal started selling bitcoin to its 350 million users, they still needed to buy bitcoin somewhere. But because the number of new bitcoins mined every day is not enough to meet the needs of large enterprises, it will trigger a huge supply crisis.
Bitcoin broke through $30,000 /piece! The driving force behind: the foundation enter!
A research report released by the major US commercial bank JP Morgan Chase shows that family office investments are abandoning gold ETFs and invest in Bitcoin. And the American billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller (Stanley Druckenmiller) also said in an interview that he is shorting the US dollar and investing in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin’s high investment yield, risk-averse properties, and increasingly obvious independent market have gradually become the focus of investment by institutional investors and family-run companies. JPMorgan Chase analysts said that the “crazy” purchase behavior of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shows that it is not only millennials that drive Bitcoin demand, but also institutional investors such as family offices and asset managers.
Even if Bitcoin performs well, the analyst also reminded that if Bitcoin as an’alternative’ currency competes more fiercely with gold, the market value of Bitcoin must rise 10 times from here in order to pass ETFs or gold bars with the private sector. Matches the total investment of gold coins in gold.
As early as 2018, the UBS Global Family Office report showed that 57% of family offices believed that blockchain will change future investment strategies and behaviors; including Fidelity Investment’s survey report also showed that in Among more than 400 US institutional investors, including family offices and foundations, nearly 100 organizations are exploring investment products related to digital assets.
