No no, there's an AI theres robotics too in the future. You don't get it. Every single post you create becomes a coin, just imagine Instagram but each photo...is a coin bro. There's also tokens for songs, just ignore song NFTs in 2021 please. This time, the token is for a song and you're early to the song. No bro trust me. This is the future. It's not like literally every other coin with the exact same tokenomics. This time it's different bro. Buy my bags bro please. Please buy my bags.

22 may was once again Bitcoin Pizza Day, and as usual, social media is full of posts like “If he hadn’t bought pizza, he’d be a billionaire by now.” But this topic deserves a deeper look:
If Laszlo Hanyecz hadn’t spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas that day, Bitcoin might never have reached its current status. That transaction marked the first real use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. While there's a claim that Satoshi once acquired a sort of NFT, this pizza purchase is widely accepted as the first commercial Bitcoin transaction.
Moreover, Laszlo wasn’t just any user. He was one of the first people to realize that GPU mining was more efficient than CPU mining. While everyone else was using CPUs, he publicly demonstrated the potential of GPUs. That’s how he managed to accumulate so much BTC in 2010.
In fact, he’s also the one who enabled mining on Mac computers. Before him, mining wasn’t even possible on Macs. So he played a key role in shaping the technical evolution of Bitcoin mining.
