Everyone knows about the 10,000 Bitcoin pizza, but no one talks about the other 150,000 BTC he wasted afterward.


Before the famous pizza order, Laszlo Hanyecz invented GPU mining for Bitcoin
Which allowed him to mine thousands of BTC per day.
Satoshi sent him a personal message about it and was worried he might break the network.
Laszlo's response: "Sorry I ruined your project."
He continued buying dinners for strangers in Bitcoin until he couldn't mine fast enough to keep up.
His wallet has a total volume of 162,864 BTC
That’s $10.7 BILLION in current value and $20.3 BILLION at Bitcoin’s all-time high.
His current balance? 0.00018 BTC, approximately $12.
The guy who invented Bitcoin mining actually wasted THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS
Probably the biggest mistake in Bitcoin history
