10,000 BITCOIN Worth of Pizza is Crazy
In the spirit of Interacting with ChatGPT for byte points, I asked ChatGPT to tell me a crypto fun fact. It told me that the first real-world transaction ever made using Bitcoin was for the purchase of pizza. Apparently, a programmer from Florida named Lazlo Hanyecz used Ten Thousand Bitcoin to purchase two pizzas. At the time they were only worth Fourty One Dollars. It had me thinking about how little actions we take today can become part of something significant tomorrow.
The fun thing about history is you often don't know when you're making it, you're just existing and doing stuff. Imagine withdrawing that token you’re tired of holding as it isn’t pumping, or you think it has pumped enough so you better take profit before it dumps, only for that single act to become historic a few years down the line.
Imagine watching Bitcoin skyrocket over the years, knowing you traded 10,000 of them for pizza. I think it would be okay for him to be mad at himself and everyone who had a bite out of those two pizza boxes, including the chef who made the pizza and the delivery guy too. It’s like holding the winning lottery ticket and cashing it for a sandwich. That pizza has to be one of the most historically expensive meals ever eaten.
That I-can't-come-and-kill-myself moment where you tell yourself "if I perish I perish" can later become one that you would in fact wish you took a chance on perishing. I mean, he would so regret doing that, he would regret the moment where him and his friends dug into those boxes, slice after slice, chipping away at what would later become a fortune. But in a way, Laszlo helped validate Bitcoin’s value, proving it could be used for real-world purchases. I mean, dude is a legend in the crypto world.
The unpredictability of cryptocurrency can be mind boggling. If not knowing tomorrow became an actual thing, it would be crypto. This is why I think it’s crazy to ask someone’s advice on whether to hold or sell. What you do is entirely up to you because there’s literally no road map, no right or wrong move. Only the outcome determines if you’ve chose better or not.
I have made several predictions about projects that ended up taking the opposite direction of my predictions. I have also been completely taken by surprise beyond my expectations. Imagine finding out that the $41 you used to pay for a box of pizza is now worth $800k. I would so crash out.
I tell my friends that succeeding in the crypto space does not mean they’re special or did anything out of the ordinary; it is just pure luck. Of course you have to position yourself in the way of luck, but when you happen to miss out on a big deal, it is hardly your fault. It could easy have been the opposite of the outcome and you would be super proud of the choice you made.
At this point, all I know is I am going to win. I will get my big break in crypto and I am going to love it so much. Then my L’s won’t matter. The opportunities I have missed out on won’t matter anymore. I’m already on a path to success and it’s only a question of time. And as you are well aware, anything can happen.
