From $41 to $1.1B: Bitcoin’s Pizza Day Becomes a Billion-Dollar Meme
What started as a joke—10,000 BTC for two pizzas—now marks crypto’s most ironic holiday. The original $41 splurge would be worth over $1.1 billion today.
Wall Street analysts still can’t decide if it’s a cautionary tale or proof of concept. Meanwhile, hodlers celebrate with actual pizza—paid for in satoshis, naturally.
Fun fact: That same amount now represents 0.05% of Bitcoin’s market cap. Not bad for ’magic internet money’ that traditional finance swore would never last.
