I'm not sure if I will call him fool or legend or both.

Fool to spend 10,000 BTC for two pizza

It's not foolish to sell 1 BTC for $10,000 right now. Just as it made sense back then.

Legend for using BTC as currency at that time when only very few people believed in BTC.

It's one of the events that pushed towards adoption. Doing BTC-to-fiat transactions is necessary.

- Got your point Cheesy

To expand on actmyname's point, that post is widely thought to be the first documented example of Bitcoins being exchanged for goods. It's an important historical moment.

Why have you made this topic, anyway? Two profiles and a post? Roll Eyes

Something like hopelessly effort to earn more merits. Anyway, I highly appreciate his work, which help me to know more about two interesting members of the forum.
The topic show us that merit system changed several members in the forum to better ones (more constructive). I don't want to fall into discussion about which original objectives of this guy to start the topic.

I am having another thought...

Shall I call the guy Legend or the person who accepted 10,000 BTC when people did not believe in bitcoin. He actually took the risk.
