Video - Crypto Chronicles: The Wild and Expensive World of Bitcoin

Did you know that the first-ever purchase made with Bitcoin was for two pizzas? Back in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas. Today, that’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars! Imagine the buyer's remorse! But that's not the only mind-blowing fact about crypto. In 2013, someone mistakenly transferred $1.3 million in Bitcoin to a non-existent address. Oops! Talk about a costly typo. Fast forward to 2021, a guy named Stefan Thomas lost access to his Bitcoin wallet containing $220 million because he forgot his password. He only had ten attempts before the wallet would lock forever, and he had already used eight. Yikes! And get this: there’s a guy who threw away a hard drive containing 7,500 Bitcoins. He’s now digging through a landfill hoping to find it. So, what’s your wildest crypto story? Share in the comments below!
