Bitcoin Pizza Day

Lyrics

May twenty-second, two thousand ten.
A day that will live in infamy.
Just kidding. It’s about pizza.

A man in Florida named Laszlo
Opens up the BitcoinTalk forum.
He's got a craving.
He's got some coins he mined for fun.
He types it out, a simple ask,
No idea what he's begun.
"I'll pay ten thousand Bitcoins," he wrote,
"For a couple of pizzas, delivered."
Just wanted to prove it could be done.

So raise your slice to the absolute king!
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Ten thousand coins for some dough and some cheese.
The best trade in history, would you say?
He clicked send, the blockchain confirmed it.
A legend was born, you better believe it.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Let's all get stupidly, epically paid.

A nineteen-year-old kid in Cali
Jercos, on the forum, sees the post.
Does the math. Forty-one dollars.
Sure. Why not? I'll be your host.
He calls up a Papa John's in Jacksonville.
Orders two larges, one with everything.
Onions, peppers, sausage, olives.
The other one plain.
Jeremy pockets the change.
Laszlo eats his dinner.
Nobody thinks it's strange.

So raise your slice to the absolute king!
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Ten thousand coins for some dough and some cheese.
The best trade in history, would you say?
He clicked send, the blockchain confirmed it.
A legend was born, you better believe it.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Let's all get stupidly, epically paid.

And the years go by.
And the price goes up.
A million. Ten million.
A hundred million.
Almost a billion at the peak.
Reporters call him every May.
"Laszlo, do you lie awake?"
"Do you see pepperoni in your sleep?"
And he just smiles that early-adopter smile.
Says "I don't regret it. It was cool to be part of it."
Part of what, Laszlo? The joke?
The most expensive meal ever bought?
The dumbest founding myth we've got?

So raise your slice to the absolute king!
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Ten thousand coins for some dough and some cheese!
The best trade in history, would you say?
He clicked send, the blockchain confirmed it!
A legend was born, you better believe it!
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Let's all get stupidly, epically paid!

No regrets.
Pepperoni.
Ten thousand coins.
He has no regrets.
Magic. Internet. Money.
