I heard from one person who bought a house with their pizza bitcoins, indirectly, by trading it for cash first. Apparently it was a lot of hassle with the bank due to AML and just their general distaste for currencies they don't control. I wish I could say I did the same, but the pizza didn't appreciate the same way as the bitcoins

You know you could actually sell pizzas based on your story. People sold burgers with less credentials than you based on their story..

You could be like the Buffalo Bill of Bitcoin, on tours, etc...

I'm sure he could make some coins out of this one way or another if he so wanted to Cheesy

In honour of Laszlo I will make my first Bitcoin purchase a pizza thought takeaway.com (they accept Bitcoins). I wonder how much that pizza will be worth in a few years time? lol

I spent it all on pizza long ago: https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza. I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time. I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this.

Laszlo

Surely you have a few hundred bitcoins tucked away somewhere...you didn't really spend ALL of it on pizza, did you?

Pics are still in the same location for anyone interested. I didn't trade bitcoins for the child - she's my daughter, Amy. Only the pizza was traded.

I think any bank would become suspicious if you just suddenly dumped hundreds of thousands in there. I hope the Pizza tasted good. Was it just delivered from a Pizza Hut or something?

It was two boxes of Papa John's. There's a pic floating about on the Internet somewhere ~~but I'm too lazy to search for it right now~~ and you might find it in the original BTC10k pizza thread.

I'd definitely eat at Laszlo's (though he should think about lowering the price…) Wink

'Laszlo's' would actually make a good Pizza shop name Grin

The people I traded with didn't know it was going to explode either, they just took a risk

I wonder what became of jercos, you ever had a chance to take him out for a pizza? Wink

Probably should be the other way round Cheesy

.

If I was you I'd sell or make my own Pizza and try sell or raffle it on here haha. I'm sure you'd get a lot of interest.

Haha there are so many old posts to dig that are interesting, I often read them

You have found a good one + an update of the OP; @ laszlo : can you tell us more about how you lived the Bitcoin revolution? Did you quit your studies or your job to go have margarita.s on an island?

It's kind of funny to read these old posts and see how people threw bitcoins at eachother. lol

You do realize that you just necro'ed the first post of the guy who bought the famous 10K BTC pizza?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137

I thought somebody had hacked his account at first in a begging attempt, then saw the date Cheesy

Holy shit, didn't realize it was him!

Seems like the infamous buyer of the most expensive pizza of all time has joined us in the thread!^^

Haha. I thought that's why you had bumped it.

Quote from: laszlo on February 14, 2014, 11:28:36 AM

At the time, Gavin had a bitcoin 'faucet' that gave out bitcoins for free, and a few people were trading them for less than a cent each, but nothing serious. You can probably find all the old posts on this forum still. I was learning OpenCL programming and mining bitcoins with a video card so the pizza was a good deal for me. I couldn't have known that my pizza trade would end up being such a big deal, or that so many others would become interested in bitcoin and thus drive the value up. The people I traded with didn't know it was going to explode either, they just took a risk - spending their 'real' money to buy some guy pizza in exchange for some internet Monopoly money.

Laszlo

Do you know what the guy you bought the pizza did with the coins? Haven't you had a load of messages or media requests? Why did you choose to stop by now after all this time?
