Everything needs a start either with loss or profit. he was a programmer which made him intelligent enough to understand the consequences he could face and I think that's why he is cool and ok with his decisions, well his transaction is considered as
"First BTC transaction" well, did you know where he placed an order to sell his 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas?
He made a post on Bitcointalk by
Pizza for bitcoins? and one of the community member named as jercos bought him 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC. Here you can read the post made by laszlo says,
Well reading this thread will give you goosebumps so read it if you have a strong heart hehe.
The link to the pictures is not working on my side maybe it's invalid now. Well, all I can say
What is not in luck, you will never get. There could be a lot of events just like laszlos but only the first one will be remembered same the first man to step foot on the moon is Neil Armstrong but who knows the 5th, or 10th, or 20th one?
Only He who initiates is remembered because he is the one taking all risks and has to face good or bad consequences. At that time idk what he was thinking because he can buy pizzas without BTC but why he did that maybe that's the sacrifice BTC needs to be adopted as a payment method maybe that sacrifice kept up the trust of people in BTC which take it to the height of the $69k. It's like BTC needs blood and Sir Laszlo gave it.
