Everyone knows about the 10K Bitcoin Pizza, but NOBODY talks about the other 150K BTC he wasted afterwards


-
Before the famous pizza order, Laszlo Hanyecz invented GPU mining for Bitcoin

This made it possible for him to mine thousands of BTC per day

Satoshi personally messaged him about it, and was worried it would break the network

Laszlo's response: "I feel like I crapped up your project"

He kept buying strangers dinner in Bitcoin until he couldn't mine fast enough to keep up

His wallet has a whopping total volume of 162,864 BTC

That's $10.7 BILLION in today's value, and $20.3 BILLION at the PEAK price of $BTC

His balance now? 0.00018 BTC... around $12 😭
