Good morning all!
@BlackFor3st - Thanks for the kind words!
If there's any improvements to our service you'd like to see then just let me know and I'll pass it on up the chain!
@TopTort777 - We should have news on the our next competition soon, the plans are drawn up and I'm just awaiting sign off on the budget before getting everything finalised! I'm hoping to run at least one competition monthly so you should never have too long to wait
@deadley - This one i'm not sure about, but I'll pass on the question to our sportsbook team and get a response for you ASAP. I'm already super excited for the World Cup pool to start
In other news, today is a special one within the crypto community - it's 🍕
Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕!
On this day 9 years ago the first bitcoin pizza purchase was offered,
right here on the bitcointalk forums.
BCT member
laszlo posted to offer
10,000 BTC in exchange for
2 large pizzas. At the time BTC was valued at just $0.0041, making for an attractive prospect for the seller - $41 in bitcoin for $25 worth of pizza!
At first no one seemed interested; it wasn't until four days later when laszlo updated the thread to report his success! Fellow crypto enthusiast
Jercos accepted the offer via IRC chat and had the pizzas delivered to our brave protagonist.
Looking at today's prices the transaction seems absurd, with 10,000 BTC having a seriously life-changing amount of value ($79,550,000 at the time of writing!). Unfortunately for Jercos this was before the infamous
I AM HODLING thread, and he sold his coins when the value rose by 10x a short while later for just $410 - a good return at the time, but probably pretty rage-inducing for the poor guy when looking back!

Will you be celebrating with a Pizza order today? Or perhaps making your own?
The battle over choice of toppings has already begun raging in the office (it's 2019 and people still want to put pineapple on pizza
)
Have a great day!
Ronnie @ CloudbetAmazing story. Great job cloudbet for that info graphic.
