Bitcoin Pizza Guy to give the first interview on the 9th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
A computer programmer from Florida has been featured on 60 Minutes and the crypto industry has gone crazy.
The programmer in question is no other than Laszlo Hanyecz, the Bitcoin Pizza Guy, a legendary figure in the crypto industry.
A few years later, he also became known for spending a total of 100,000 BTC mostly on pizza when Bitcoin was worth less than 1 cent.
At the time of the interview, one Bitcoin was worth around $8000, which means Hanyecz spent $800 million worth of BTC on pizza.
"Are there nights you wake up," Cooper asks, "Where you think, 'I could have had $800 million if I hadn't bought those pizzas?'".
