Remember Laszlo, the guy who bought two pizzas in 2010?

Well, exactly 7 years ago, on February 25, 2018, he did it again, this time using the Lightning Network.

Given the significant appreciation in Bitcoin's value, Laszlo paid 649,000 satoshis, or 0.00649 bitcoins.

Interestingly, the commonly shared picture of Laszlo in a red shirt with his two children around a table with two pizzas, often attributed to the 10,000 BTC pizza purchase in 2010, is actually from the Lightning Network transaction in 2018.

In the picture, there is a notepad in front of the pizzas with the code "7241 A8C1," which are the first and last four characters of the hex string of the transaction.

This code proved he paid the invoice, as a friend from London acted as a middleman, accepting the Lightning payment and facilitating the real purchase with the local pizza shop.

Exactly 8 years since this episode!

While the then-president of the institution that erodes the population's purchasing power was giving a speech, a sign pointed to the hardest asset ever created by humanity.

On 12th February 2017, Christian Langalis, a 22 year old guy held up a "Buy Bitcoin" sign during Fed chair while Janet Yellen was speaking to the House Financial Services Committee.

Langalis was promptly escorted out of the room. He later received around 7 BTCs in donations.

On April 25th, 2024, Langalis sold his iconic sign in an auction. The Scarce City auction for the sign took place at PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed bar in New York City, and the sign was sold for 16 BTCs.

Curiosity:

Exactly 14 years ago, on February 10, 2011, two terms were suggested to name the "cents" of Bitcoin.

We know that "satoshi" was one of the terms!

What was the other one?

Comment, and if you get it right, I will zap!
