gm and happy Day, nostr!
I had some fun with the numbers, since everybody likes to talk about Laszlo's 10k BTC pizza in dollar terms.
** May 22, 2010 **
• 10,000 BTC got Laszlo $41 in pizza-denominated terms
• Closing price of gold at the time: $1,200 per ounce
• Using the pizza-USD-exchange rate: 292,683 BTC/ounce
• BTC/gold price: just under 0.1 mg gold per BTC
** Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026 **
Today, 1 BTC is worth just about about 17 ounces of gold [https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCXAU]
The money spent on those 2 pizzas carries the same purchasing power of a whopping 10,632 **POUNDS** of gold.
But that doesn't mean we should just hodl. Laszlo transcends whale status because he did **the work**, and in doing so he became the first "block" in proving Bitcoin's real world use case. Not to mention his work spreading adoption by writing the first MacOS client for Core.
