“Bitcoins weren't worth anything back then, so the idea of buying pizza for them seemed amazing,” Laszlo told the New York Times.
In those distant times, Hanecz calculated that everyonethe bitcoin his computer earned by “crunching numbers” was worth only a tiny fraction of a cent. And producing thousands of these bitcoins was easy and cost virtually nothing at all. At that moment, it looked to him like a profitable exchange of virtual money, extracted from oblivion by some program using mathematics, for two excellent, hot and crispy pizzas.
