Could you help me to solve this myth, please.

Did Laszlo Hanyecz exchange 40000 BTC for 8 pizzas, not 10000 BTC for 2 pizzas?. I only knew about this days ago and could not find more confirmations for this information anywhere. It started in this forum and the answer should be found in this forum.


There is no myth. I responded to you in your other thread. Don't come to a conclusion based on a single Twitter handle. I can create a Twitter account and buy some fake followers and say I've traded the rest 30K Bitcoins for six pizzas. That doesn't make sense at all. Stop Spreading fake news without any sources. Laszlo was active in the forum till 2017. He never said he traded 40K Bitcoins for eight pizzas. A couple of Media interviewed him. He never said he traded more than 10 thousand Bitcoin for pizzas (If he said, Refer me there, and I will apologize for my statement).

So, there is no myth to solve. Too much curiosity spreads fake things, and other newbies get confused with such phony information. If a newbie sees this, he might think this is authentic news and will start saying the same thing. This is how FUD creates.

It's not like you have heard this thing from any media. Nor from multiple Twitter handles. A Single Twitter handle claims this repeatedly, and you get excited about it.
