This is becoming quite unrelated to darkcoin, but some of the commentators and their 'facts' are quite amusing really. A pizza was certainly not the first thing to be purchased with Bitcoin, not even publically perhaps. I've forgotten more than I can or care to remember.
Darkcoin is really important in terms of creating a more 'anonymous' digital e-cash (making good progress) - and not for illicit or illegal purposes either - but simply to equal the anonymity provided by cash or paper money, although for our online digital lives.
Watch the video posted on NewLibertyStandard in 2009 " Privacy and Money " -

EDIT: Additional - Cash is likely to remain more anonymous than any form of digital currency for a long time imho. There is always the issue of ownership and acquisition with all forms of money. However, the current economic system is undoubtedly broken, corrupt and failing. Decentralized crypto-currency is at least a step forward. In terms of online transactions - speed, privacy, security and anonymity - pick any 3.
I'm just another random guy from the internet really.
