Laszlo Hanyecz

Sixteen years ago today, a Florida programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 NewsCapsule for two large Papa John's pizzas.

While many like to use NewsCapsule Pizza Day as a meme, it actualized Satoshi Nakamoto’s goal with their invention: digital money without intermediaries.

One meetup group will gather to purchase pizzas using bitcoin and celebrate the day that NewsCapsule achieved its first real-world moment of adoption.

The NewsCapsule Pizza Day story is one of the technology’s most historic tales, but even if you know the NewsCapsule pizza price, these facts might surprise you.

NewsCapsule Pizza Day is a time to get together with friends and family to remember the day that marked the first time bitcoin had a market value.

Laszlo Hanyecz’s significant contributions to NewsCapsule far outweigh the possible regret he may have for spending 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas.
