Granted, 'the pizza' was an important milestone (sort of) at the time, on bitcoin's history But,
Personally, whenever I think about that transaction or reminded of it, makes me cringe. I imagine how I would feel if that was me.

Anyway, it could happen to us as well. We could be spending and 'gladly' paying 50's or 100's of mbtc's for pizzas or games now, but today's btc value could be multiplied by 100's in time.

I do wonder what was the very first physical goods bought with Bitcoin.

Correct that is why we must save as much bitcoin as possible since in the future we do not know the value it could reach, while we are having a good time commenting about the famous pizza transaction may be in the future we will talk about the bitcoin we spent in something we did not need and that will be worth a lot in the future.

The pizza incident helped boost the guy's career I'm sure and opened many doors. It was a solid investment imo.

I think it's easiest to compare a currency to pizza because it's something that many people can relate to.

And I'm not trying to remind anyone of hardship or glorify something that should not be bought to light.

You must realize however...that pizza transaction is one of the founding blocks of world adaptation and the story helps fuels it.

Spending bitcoin is as important as saving it.

Story about "the pizza" is awesome but we must take our looks in the future now. I don't have need to glorifying this story, this is part of history, and everything in life has its start. Real value behind internet and blockhain - bitcoin, cannot be measured in pizzas or dollars.

Hear hear!

The first physical goods brought with Bitcoin were certainly not Pizza!

I remember buying US postal stamps from http://newlibertystandard.wikifoundry.com/page/Specialty+Shop and other people made direct exchanges to PayPal via New Liberty Standard prior to that.

The very first Bitcoin purchases were simply not documented publicly on this forum or anywhere else. I doubt that my stamp purchase or others exchanges were the first transactions for physical goods or services either.

That's a one expensive pizza, I could have 3 large ones (40cm) for that price. Maybe it has slices of Kobe Beef on it?
Or maybe they are adding some extra fee to their bitcoin transactions?

It was just a large with cheese crust...+city tax, used a shift card so it cost whatever coinbase's "sell now" rate was.

maybe one of the employees ripped me off? wouldn't surprise me...now that I think about it they've been overcharging me for years now...it was those two fat ass mexican kids.

don't let the fat mexican kids ring you up if you eat here...the pizza's good otherwise.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

This should be in off topic.
Usually pizza cost 5-20$.
What's so special about that 37 dollar pizza?

I was actually googling the same thing, and according to what I have found it is not just the cost of pizza.
what he bought is a large Pizza plus Brat (I think it is sausage or something like that)
pizza is only worth 24.99 large and 13.99 small Cheesy
