These pizzas were bought 3.5 years ago for $10 million in today's USD.

This is a real picture of the infamous pizzas that were bought for 10,000 BTC back in May of 2010.

  • On May 18 2010, when bitcoin was at its infancy, a user with the handle of laszlo posted this Bitcointalk.org:

    I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

    I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

    If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

    Thanks, Laszlo

    Today, bitcoin reached a value of $1000 USD per BTC. This means that each of these pizzas cost $5 million. That's a lot of dough, regardless of which way you look at it.

    I haven't eaten in 10 hours and I have to say that pizza looks delicious, 5 million or not.

    Oh what a waste. Just think of how much money they could have had by now in BTCs! And all because they wanted a pizza. My mum always told me that pizza is the enemy! :)
