Laszlo Hanyecz的比特币披萨日：人类历史上最昂贵的食物

2010年5月22日，一名名叫Laszlo Hanyecz的程序员制作了现在被认为是历史上最昂贵的食品：两个大爸爸约翰的比萨饼。

On May 22, 2010, a Florida programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made what is now considered the most expensive food purchase in human history: two large Papa John's pizzas. The bill was $25. So why is this considered the most expensive food purchase in history? Because Laszlo paid for the purchase with bitcoin.

2010年5月22日，一位名叫Laszlo Hanyecz的程序员制作了现在被认为是人类历史上最昂贵的食品：两个大爸爸约翰的比萨饼。该账单为25美元。那么，为什么这被认为是历史上最昂贵的食品购买呢？因为Laszlo用比特币付款。

A single bitcoin today would buy roughly 9,250 pizzas. But obviously, bitcoin in 2010 was much less valuable. That is why Laszlo used 10 THOUSAND bitcoins to pay for his two pizzas.

今天的一个比特币将购买约9,250个比萨饼。但是显然，2010年比特币的价值要低得多。这就是为什么Laszlo使用10,000个比特币为他的两个披萨付费的原因。

Today, those same 10,000 bitcoins would be worth $1.113 billion. It was the first time Bitcoin had ever been exchanged for a tangible good or service. The purchase has become so famous… or infamous… that May 22 has come to be known as "Bitcoin Pizza Day." I doubt Laszlo Hanyecz celebrates this day.

如今，相同的10,000比特币的价值将价值11.113亿美元。这是比特币第一次被交换为有形的商品或服务。这次购买变得如此著名或臭名昭著……5月22日被称为“比特币披萨日”。我怀疑Laszlo Hanyecz这一天庆祝。

And as it turns out, 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas is just a SLICE of the story. Laszlo actually spent more like 100,000 bitcoin on various goods around 2010…

事实证明，两个比萨饼的10,000比特币只是故事的一部分。 Laszlo实际上在2010年左右在各种商品上花费了更多的比特币…

The First Real-World Bitcoin Transaction

第一个现实世界中的比特币交易

In May 2010, bitcoin was barely a year old and worth fractions of a penny. Hanyecz's 10,000 BTC pizza offer was posted to the Bitcoin Talk forum:

2010年5月，比特币只有一年的一岁，价值一分钱。 Hanyecz的10,000个BTC披萨报价已发布到比特币谈话论坛上：

"I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

“我会为几个比萨饼支付10,000个比特币。也许还有2个大型比特币，所以我第二天剩下一些。我喜欢剩下比萨饼到稍后再咬。带您吃点东西，您很高兴！

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

我喜欢洋葱，辣椒，香肠，蘑菇，西红柿，意大利辣香肠等。只是标准的东西，没有奇怪的鱼顶或类似的东西。我也喜欢普通的奶酪比萨饼，可以便宜或以其他方式购买。

If you're interested, please let me know and we can work out a deal."

如果您有兴趣，请告诉我，我们可以达成协议。”

A fellow enthusiast saw the challenge. Using his phone and a credit card, two Papa John's pizzas were ordered and delivered to Laszlo's address. Laszlo then fulfilled his side of the bargain by transferring 10,000 bitcoin to the fellow enthusiast. Those 10,000 bitcoin were worth around $40 at the time. So, in other words, the other guy actually made a $15 profit ON TOP of receiving 10,000 bitcoin :0

一位爱好者看到了挑战。使用他的手机和一张信用卡，订购了两个爸爸约翰的比萨饼，并将其交付给Laszlo的地址。拉斯洛随后通过将10,000比特币转移给同伴发烧友来实现了他的讨价还价。当时，这些10,000个比特币的价值约为40美元。因此，换句话说，另一个人实际上在收到10,000比特币之上赚了15美元的利润：0

A Pioneer Behind the Scenes

幕后的先驱

Long before the $1.1 billion headline, Hanyecz had already etched his name into Bitcoin history, not as a spender, but as a builder.

在这个耗资11亿美元的标题之前，Hanyecz已经将他的名字刻在比特币历史上，而不是作为造物主，而是作为建筑商。

In April 2010, just days after joining the Bitcoin Talk forum founded by Satoshi Nakamoto himself, Hanyecz created the first Mac OS Bitcoin client, enabling Apple users to participate in the new network. At the time, Bitcoin software only ran on Windows and Linux.

在加入Nakamoto本人Satoshi的Bitcoin Talk论坛几天后，Hanyecz创建了第一个Mac OS Bitcoin客户端，使Apple用户能够参与新网络。当时，比特币软件仅在Windows和Linux上运行。

Even more consequentially, Hanyecz discovered that Bitcoin could be mined using graphics processing units (GPUs) instead of CPUs. This breakthrough turbocharged Bitcoin's hashrate and kicked off the first major shift toward industrialised mining. It also earned him a personal message from Satoshi, who warned that GPU mining might centralise Bitcoin too early:

更重要的是，Hanyecz发现可以使用图形处理单元（GPU）而不是CPU挖掘比特币。这次突破性的涡轮增压比特币的哈希拉特（Hashrate）开始了第一个向工业化采矿的重大转变。这也为他赢得了Satoshi的个人信息，后者警告说，GPU采矿可能太早集中了比特币：

"A big attraction to new users is that anyone with a computer can generate some free coins… I don't want to hasten the day when only high-end GPU setups can mine."

“对新用户的一个很大的吸引力是，拥有计算机的任何人都可以生成一些免费的硬币……我不想加快只有高端GPU设置才能挖掘的那一天。”

Demonstrating Bitcoin's IRL Value

展示比特币的IRL价值

In a 2019 "60 Minutes" interview with Anderson Cooper, Laszlo explained his motives at the time:

在2019年对安德森·库珀（Anderson Cooper）的“ 60分钟”采访中，拉斯洛（Laszlo）解释了当时的动机：

"I thought it would be really cool if he could say 'hey, I just traded this open-source internet money for a real-world good.' And I thought, 'what better thing than food?' Food is a basic necessity and every geek understands pizza."

“我认为，如果他能说'嘿，我只是把这笔开源的互联网钱换成现实世界，那真是太酷了。'我想，“有什么比食物更好？”食物是基本的必需品，每个极客都了解披萨。”

"People laugh at that, but at the time it wasn't worth anything."

“人们嘲笑这一点，但是当时不值得。”

Laszlo seemed at peace with his decision when talking to Anderson. But keep in mind, at that time (2019), his bitcoin pizza mistake was worth "just" $80 million. I'd love for Anderson to reinterview Laszlo today, now that the mistake is worth north of $1.1 billion.

拉斯洛在与安德森交谈时的决定似乎很安宁。但是请记住，当时（2019年），他的比特披萨错误值得“仅” 8000万美元。我希望安德森今天重新介绍拉斯洛，现在这个错误北部为11亿美元。

It Gets Worse

As it turns out, those 10,000 bitcoins were just a SLICE of the digital currency Laszlo Hanyecz spent during
