๐ง "Everyone keeps buzzing about the Bitcoin pizza story.. but have you heard about Sabier? The guy who paid a fortune for a desktop background ๐ผ๏ธ๐ธ
๐ A tale older than pizza itself
Back in 2010, just months before the famous Laszlo incident, a programmer named Sabier put up a piece of art he designed himself for sale on Bitcointalk ๐จ
๐ฐ The shock is in the details
Sabier didnโt ask for dollars; he asked for 500 Bitcoin.
At that time, it was worth about 1 dollar! ๐ฒ
๐ An unknown buyer snagged it from him, making this one of the first art pieces ever sold with crypto in history. ๐ผ๏ธโจ
๐ Why is this story scary today?
Those 500 Bitcoin sold for a "regular JPEG" are now worth over 37 million dollars! ๐คฏ๐
Yes, the most expensive desktop background in human history.. and perhaps the priciest JPEG that no one bought for tens of millions. ๐ธ๐ฑ
๐ง The secret many donโt know
This simple transaction proved to Satoshi Nakamoto that Bitcoin could be a real "medium of exchange", not just theoretical code. ๐โ
Without Sabier and his image, Laszlo might not have dared to ask for pizza in exchange for 10,000 Bitcoin later on! ๐
