By my high school math skills, I calculated that at 50 BTC per block in 2010, if Laszlo Hanyecz had won 2000 blocks in a row, in just 2 weeks he would have mined all of the 100,000 BTC that he spent entirely on pizza. ⛏️🍕🤯

What he spent was probably a tiny fraction of his stack.
We don’t know that.
I guess regardless of the unit of account, USD/BTC or something else, a pizza would always be a relative small percentage of that unit, either from what he already had or from the cost of mine it, I find it hard to believe he would spend a month's worth of mining, or a large percentage of his stack for pizza.
I'd like to think he at least has a handful left.
Wasn’t it 10k?

It's 10k for 2 pizzas 🥳 it can be said he brought mining into the GPU era, he used OpenCL to make hashes
He likely was mining for much longer than two weeks 🤭
Maybe Lazlo is actually Satoshi?
