Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! Remembering (With Crypto Regret) The Day When 2 Pizzas Cost 10,000 BTC
A legendary date in the cryptocurrency world, May 22 is celebrated as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) Pizza Day. The prized digital currency, now worth thousands of dollars, was used for the first time for commercial purposes on this day.
5月22日是加密货币世界的传奇日子，被定为比特币（加密货币：BTC）披萨日。这种珍贵的数字货币现在价值数千美元，在这一天首次用于商业目的。
What Happened: About 14 years ago, a Florida-based software developer, Laszlo Hanyecz, unwittingly gave the cryptocurrency community a date to cherish, when he paid 10,000 Bitcoins to pay for two Pizzas from Papa John's International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PZZA).
发生了什么：大约14年前，总部位于佛罗里达州的软件开发商Laszlo Hanyecz在不知不觉中给了加密货币社区一个值得珍惜的约会，当时他花了1万个比特币购买了爸爸约翰国际公司（纳斯达克股票代码：PZZA）的两份披萨。
The historic conversation, preserved safely on a Bitcoin forum, divulges details about the turn of events.
这场历史性对话安全地保存在比特币论坛上，泄露了事态转折的细节。
On May 18, 2010, Hanyecz wrote, "I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas ... like maybe 2 large ones so I have some leftover for the next day."
2010 年 5 月 18 日，Hanyecz 写道：“我会花 10,000 个比特币买几个披萨... 比如大概是 2 个大披萨，这样第二天我就有一些剩余的了。”
His call was answered, as just after 4 days, he updated on the forum that he had "successfully" swapped 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas.
他的电话得到了回应，因为就在4天后，他在论坛上更新说，他 “成功” 将10,000个比特币换成了两个披萨。
According to a conversation on the forum, 1 Bitcoin was worth $0.0041 on this historic day, taking the total purchase amount to $41.
根据论坛上的对话，在这个历史性的日子里，1枚比特币的价值为0.0041美元，使总购买金额达到41美元。
Why It Matters: We are in 2024 and Bitcoin has evolved from an obscure digital currency back then to one of the most valuable assets in the world, with 1 unit equal to $70,000 as of this writing, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
它为何重要：根据Benzinga Pro的数据，我们处于2024年，比特币已经从当时一种不起眼的数字货币发展成为世界上最有价值的资产之一，截至撰写本文时，1单位等于70,000美元。
This makes the two pizzas worth nearly $700 million, by far the most expensive ones ever.
这使得这两个披萨价值近7亿美元，是迄今为止最昂贵的披萨。
