Do you think you overpaid for your last pizza? Think again. The story of Bitcoin has a legendary (and delicious) chapter that forever defines the "regret rhythm."

It all started on May 22, 2010. Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz, one of the first BTC miners, was hungry and wanted to test the real utility of that digital currency he had accumulated.

The Challenge of 10,000 Bitcoins

Hanyecz posted on a discussion forum: "I will pay 10,000 bitcoins for some pizzas... like, maybe two large ones, so I have some leftovers for the next day."

• The Exchange: At the time, Bitcoin had no defined value. Another user accepted the challenge and, using his credit card, bought two pizzas from Papa John's for about US$ 41. In exchange, he received the 10,000 BTC. Hanyecz posted a picture of the pizzas, proving that the transaction worked.

The Master Valuation Rhythm

The transaction was a success and proved that Bitcoin could be used to buy real goods. But here comes the bill that makes the market tremble to this day:

1. US$ 41: The real value of pizzas at the time.

2. US$ 1.5 Million: The value of the 10,000 BTC when Bitcoin reached its first peak of $150 years later.

3. US$ 3.5 BILLION: The approximate value of those same 10,000 BTC today (with BTC at US$ 70k+).

• The Moral of the Story: The first purchase was a crucial milestone for adoption. But it is also the biggest reminder to the market about the cost of FOMO vs HODL. The next time you complain about a fee or an entry price, remember the man who spent a multibillion-dollar fortune on cheese and pepperoni.
