比特幣披薩​​日：為加密貨幣商務鋪路的活動

馬克吐溫曾說過，事實比小說更離奇。加密貨幣世界也不例外。想想看：事後看來，大約 14 年前，有人後悔用比特幣換了兩個大披薩——當時他為每一片披薩支付的比特幣如今價值 36.4 億盧比！

Someone is regretting trading Bitcoins for two large pizzas, some 14 years ago -- Bitcoins he paid for every single slice then are worth a whopping Rs 364 crore today!

大約 14 年前，有人後悔用比特幣換了兩個大披薩——當時他為每一片披薩支付的比特幣如今價值高達 36.4 億盧比！

This is a Floridian programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz, who bought two large pizzas and paid 10,000 Bitcoins for them. This was the first-ever recorded real-world transaction using crypto asset, marking May 22 as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

這是一位名叫 Laszlo Hanyecz 的佛羅裡達程式設計師，他買了兩個大披薩，並支付了 10,000 比特幣。這是有史以​​來第一筆使用加密資產進行的現實世界交易，將 5 月 22 日定為比特幣披薩​​日。

Moreover, it actually took almost four days for the swap to occur!

而且，這次互換竟然花了將近四天的時間！

Hanyecz announced on the Bitcointalk.org forum on May 18, 2010, that he planned to use Bitcoin to buy pizza. He was willing to pay 10,000 Bitcoin to anyone who could place an order. On May 22, 2010, a 19-year-old at the time, Jeremy Sturdivant started turning heads on the forum. He accepted the offer of 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas, valued at around $41 back then.

Hanyecz於2010年5月18日在Bitcointalk.org論壇上宣布，他打算用比特幣購買披薩。他願意向任何可以下訂單的人支付 10,000 比特幣。 2010 年 5 月 22 日，當時 19 歲的 Jeremy Sturdivant 開始在論壇上引起關注。他接受了 10,000 比特幣購買兩個披薩的報價，當時價值約為 41 美元。

Had Hanyecz held those 10,000 Bitcoins today, they would have valued a whooping Rs 58,23,33,56,700, or Rs 5,823 crore, today. Each Pizza was worth more than Rs 2,911.66 crore (as of today's calculation pricing Bitcoin at Rs 58,23,335.67) for him as of today. Considering eight slices in a large pizza, each slice would have been worth Rs 364 crore today.

如果 Hanyecz 今天持有這 10,000 個比特幣，他們今天的價值將達到 58,23,33,56,700 盧比，即 5,823 千萬盧比。截至今天，每個披薩對他來說價值超過 2,911.66 千萬盧比（根據今天的計算，比特幣價格為 58,23,335.67 盧比）。考慮到一個大披薩有八片，今天每片價值 36.4 億盧比。

One might think Laszlo Hanyecz was not smart enough for not holding onto his 10,000 Bitcoins, which would be worth a fortune today.

人們可能會認為 Laszlo Hanyecz 不夠聰明，不會持有他的 10,000 個比特幣，這些比特幣在今天價值不菲。

However, his purchase was pivotal as the first successful commercial transaction using Bitcoin. If Hanyecz had not buy those pizzas, Bitcoin might not have demonstrated its real-world utility, said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.

然而，作為第一筆使用比特幣成功的商業交易，他的購買至關重要。 Mudrex 執行長 Edul Patel 表示，如果 Hanyecz 沒有購買這些披薩，比特幣可能不會展示其現實世界的效用。

"This transaction showcased Bitcoin's potential as a medium of exchange, contributing to its credibility and adoption. Thus, his seemingly modest purchase played a crucial role in establishing Bitcoin's value and fostering its growth into a mainstream financial asset. This event highlights Bitcoin's evolution from an experiment to a mainstream financial asset," Patel adds.

「這筆交易展示了比特幣作為交換媒介的潛力，有助於提高其可信度和採用率。因此，他看似微不足道的購買在確立比特幣價值並促進其成長為主流金融資產方面發揮了至關重要的作用。

In hindsight, today's calculation might sound ridiculous to many, but the event makes history for paving the way for crypto-commerce or giving birth to cryptocurrencies as an alternative mode of payment. The novelty in the fad is celebrated by the crypto fanatics across the world.

事後看來，今天的計算對許多人來說可能聽起來很荒謬，但這一事件為加密貨幣商務鋪平了道路或催生了加密貨幣作為替代支付方式，創造了歷史。這種時尚的新穎性受到了世界各地加密貨幣狂熱分子的慶祝。

Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the transition of Bitcoin from a niche hobby for cryptographers and technologists to a more mainstream economic tool, said Sumit Gupta, co-founder, CoinDCX. It is hard to predict exactly because this is a cultural phenomena but the adoption of bitcoin and also crypto may have likely been even slower if the forum member didn’t agree to the exchange, he said.

CoinDCX 聯合創始人 Sumit Gupta 表示，比特幣披薩​​日標誌著比特幣從密碼學家和技術人員的小眾愛好轉變為更主流的經濟工具。他說，很難準確預測，因為這是一種文化現象，但如果論壇成員不同意交換，比特幣和加密貨幣的採用可能會更慢。

"The value of Bitcoin might have followed a different trajectory. This iconic event contributed to Bitcoin’s narrative and early community engagement. Without it bitcoin’s price action may have been very different and adoption may have been much lower. If bitcoin pizza day didn’t happen some other food or well known product may have taken that distinction," Gupta adds on a lighter note.

「比特幣的價值可能會遵循不同的軌跡。這一標誌性事件對比特幣的敘述和早期社區參與做出了貢獻。如果沒有它，比特幣的價格走勢可能會非常不同，採用率可能會很低得多。

Bitcoin has come a long way since its inception to governments across the globe approving Bitcoin spot ETFs. Bitcoin is recognized as a viable investment by retail and institutional investors. The digital asset class has delivered multibagger returns to investors in the last few months rising to new all times highs of $73,750.07 two months ago. It is currently around $70,000 mark.

自比特幣誕生以來，到全球各國政府批准比特幣現貨 ETF 以來，比特幣已經取得了長足的進步。比特幣被散戶和機構投資者視為可行的投資。過去幾個月，數位資產類別為投資者帶來了巨額回報，兩個月前升至 73,750.07 美元的歷史新高。目前約70,000美元大關。

Rajagopal Menon, VP, WazirX highlighted the opportunity cost long-term investing in Bitcoins. "Laszlo's pioneering use of GPUs for mining also sparked innovation in specialized mining hardware and techniques. This pizza purchase demonstrated Bitcoin's real-world utility and paved the way for its future growth,” he said.

WazirX 副總裁 Rajagopal Menon 強調了長期投資比特幣的機會成本。 「Laszlo 開創性地使用GPU 進行挖礦，也引發了專業挖礦硬體和技術的創新。這次購買披薩證明了比特幣在現實世界中的實用性，並為其未來的成長鋪平了道路， 」他說。

Bitcoin Pizza Day has been a significant day in the blockchain history, which has resulted in many new fads like stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and new innovations in the blockchain universe. However, the volatility and unregulated status remains a concern over digital asset class across the world.

比特幣披薩​​日是區塊鏈歷史上重要的一天，它催生了許多新的時尚，如穩定幣、中央銀行數位貨幣（CBDC）、去中心化金融（DeFi）和區塊鏈領域的新創新。然而，波動性和不受監管的狀況仍然是全球數位資產類別的一個擔憂。
