Today is a historic day for the bitcoin industry. Eight years ago the programmer Laszlo Heinitz made perhaps the craziest purchase in the entire existence of bitcoin-bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. However, in 2010-this purchase did not seem to be something out of the ordinary, except that it was paid in digital currency.

Traditionally, on the 22 of May many crypto-enthusiasts buy pizza “Papa Jones” (it was in this restaurant Heinitz bought his pizza) and remember this event, which marked the beginning of the actual use of bitcoin as a means of payment, and also talk about the future prospects of the crypto industry.

Today, the amount of 10 000 BTC is a very solid amount (a little more than $80 million at the current market rate), usually with such figures on the Bank account people are included in the Forbes lists.

What do you think Laszlo Heinitz would buy today if there was find such a sum in his wallet?
