I just guessed, at the beginning he must have regretted it, because humans must have regrets, especially after seeing Bitcoin currently becoming one of the legends in the Cryptocurrency world, even with a very fantastic price. But slowly he will definitely not regret it because he is the one who commemorates Bitcoin Pizza Day, and right this month we will commemorate that day on this forum Bitcoin Pizza Day Contest and this has become a habit every May.

On the one hand, maybe he slowly doesn't want to regret it anymore because like you said. He bought it using bitcoin because at that time bitcoin was not valuable, even because buying pizza with bitcoin was the first transaction if I'm not mistaken in buying and selling, maybe if he didn't buy pizza using bitcoin, bitcoin wouldn't be like it is now. So actually he didn't lose anything, besides that bitcoin at that time had no guarantee at all. Bitcoin was still very small at that time and could fail, maybe if we were in his position at that time we would do the same thing.

Laszlo has been interviewed many times about whether or not he regrets buying 2 Pizza with 10,000 BTC, he said he does not regret his decision. The answer makes perfect sense to me because no one ever knows what will happen in the future. Logically, at that time he never knew Bitcoin would become the number 1 crypto in the world with the highest market capitalization.

Another reason why he has no regrets is because Bitcoin miners were relatively efficient at the time, so he could easily generate more Bitcoins. Regardless of his feelings after learning the current value of Bitcoin, his story is one of the important moments in Bitcoin history and an important lesson for all of us to be more careful in making decisions and appreciate technological innovations that may change fate in the future.

Here's a cointelegraph interview with Laszlo about his feelings after paying 10,000 BTC for two pizza.

Laszlo had either invented or innovated on some abilities to greatly increase his mining power by implementing GPU rather than CPU mining, and so at that time, his mining equipment was winning a disproportionate quantity of the bitcoin mined blocks, and so if he found 200 blocks, then he would be rewarded 10k bitcoin (50 BTC per block), and 144 blocks are mined per day, so Laszlo could have had found 200 blocks in a couple of days or maybe within a week of mining. So the rumor that Lazlo may have bought pizza several times for 10k bitcoin each time, is not unreasonable that he might have had ended up spending 40k bitcoin or perhaps even more for various pizza transactions since it seems that he had several transactions in which he bought pizzas..
