比特币披萨日：为加密货币商务铺平道路的活动

马克吐温曾经说过，事实比小说更离奇。加密货币世界也不例外。想想看：事后看来，大约 14 年前，有人后悔用比特币换了两个大披萨——当时他为每一片披萨支付的比特币如今价值 36.4 亿卢比！

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!

大约 14 年前，有人后悔用比特币换了两个大披萨——当时他为每一片披萨支付的比特币如今价值高达 36.4 亿卢比！

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.

这是一位名叫 Laszlo Hanyecz 的佛罗里达程序员，他买了两个大披萨，并支付了 10,000 比特币。这是有史以来第一笔使用加密资产进行的现实世界交易，将 5 月 22 日定为比特币披萨日。

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

而且，这次互换竟然花了将近四天的时间！

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于2010年5月18日在Bitcointalk.org论坛上宣布，他计划使用比特币购买披萨。他愿意向任何可以下订单的人支付 10,000 比特币。 2010 年 5 月 22 日，当时 19 岁的 Jeremy Sturdivant 开始在论坛上引起关注。他接受了 10,000 比特币购买两个披萨的报价，当时价值约为 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 今天持有这 10,000 个比特币，他们今天的价值将达到 58,23,33,56,700 卢比，即 5,823 千万卢比。截至今天，每个披萨对他来说价值超过 2,911.66 千万卢比（根据今天的计算，比特币价格为 58,23,335.67 卢比）。考虑到一个大披萨有八片，今天每片价值 36.4 亿卢比。

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

人们可能会认为 Laszlo Hanyecz 不够聪明，不会持有他的 10,000 个比特币，这些比特币在今天价值不菲。

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，作为第一笔使用比特币成功的商业交易，他的购买至关重要。 Mudrex 首席执行官 Edul Patel 表示，如果 Hanyecz 没有购买这些披萨，比特币可能不会展示其现实世界的效用。

"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.

“这笔交易展示了比特币作为交换媒介的潜力，有助于提高其可信度和采用率。因此，他看似微不足道的购买在确立比特币价值并促进其成长为主流金融资产方面发挥了至关重要的作用。这一事件凸显了比特币从尝试主流金融资产，”帕特尔补充道。

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.

事后看来，今天的计算对许多人来说可能听起来很荒谬，但这一事件为加密货币商务铺平了道路或催生了加密货币作为替代支付方式，创造了历史。这种时尚的新颖性受到了世界各地加密货币狂热分子的庆祝。

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 联合创始人 Sumit Gupta 表示，比特币披萨日标志着比特币从密码学家和技术人员的小众爱好转变为更主流的经济工具。他说，很难准确预测，因为这是一种文化现象，但如果论坛成员不同意交换，比特币和加密货币的采用可能会更慢。

"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.

“比特币的价值可能会遵循不同的轨迹。这一标志性事件对比特币的叙述和早期社区参与做出了贡献。如果没有它，比特币的价格走势可能会非常不同，采用率可能会低得多。如果比特币披萨日没有发生其他一些食品或知名产品可能也采取了这种区别，”古普塔轻松地补充道。

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.

自比特币诞生以来，到全球各国政府批准比特币现货 ETF 以来，比特币已经取得了长足的进步。比特币被散户和机构投资者视为可行的投资。过去几个月，数字资产类别为投资者带来了巨额回报，两个月前升至 73,750.07 美元的历史新高。目前约为70,000美元大关。

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 副总裁 Rajagopal Menon 强调了长期投资比特币的机会成本。 “Laszlo 开创性地使用 GPU 进行挖矿，也引发了专业挖矿硬件和技术的创新。这次购买披萨证明了比特币在现实世界中的实用性，并为其未来的增长铺平了道路，”他说。

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.

比特币披萨日是区块链历史上重要的一天，它催生了许多新的时尚，如稳定币、中央银行数字货币（CBDC）、去中心化金融（DeFi）和区块链领域的新创新。然而，波动性和不受监管的状况仍然是全球数字资产类别的一个担忧。
