He couldn't look into the future.
I don't think if such person thinks about himself as hero because he didn't know that Bitcoin is going to be worth so much money in the future. It wouldn't be nice to talk to him and ask how does he feel about it. Would he be mad because he could have a fortune now? Or would he turn it into a joke? Also I think that he wasn't the only person who spent Bitcoin somehow.
Yeah I guess he don't like what he did if he will just back the time, maybe he will don't buy that pizza with that worth. So expensive. LOL 
As like what you've said maybe he is not the only one who buy their bitcoin in other things and regret today that why they just buy that, if they only knew that bitcoin price will get this high amount. I've also buy my bitcoin last year and now I am also regretting, but that is already past and we don't have any chance to come back that moment.
So crazy. I think now he regrets so much (( btw there are a lot of people who have done somethong like that
I dont know but everytime I read about that 10000btc pizza, it makes me quite sad but more of excitement. Imagine what that person is feeling right now. It's like you throw a million dollar money.
I would have loved to have had a slice of that pizza, just for bragging rights. But seriously it was probably a fair enough deal at the time. Who is to know that people will not laugh at us in a few years time at the though of us paying, I don't know say 20 BTC for a Tesla (This being when BTC might be worth $500K a piece).
Just a theoretical scenario a $5Million Tesla

It was actually not just one pizza, he bought more from other people too, just to prove that Bitcoin can be used to buy
ordinary food items. When this was later published in the media, it draw a lot of attention and a lot of people adopted Bitcoin
when they learned about this. In a way, he was a Hero to some people, because his actions put a lot of things in motion for
people to be rich today.

I often think about the early adopters, the first bitcoin miners etc.
Not many of them actually held their coins until today, and the vast majority had to sell at least some coins to cover the electricity cost of running the miners themselves. As things progress so does your opinion of them.
Think about when bitcoin was $5 a piece... if you were mining you were happy with the profit you just received, after all, all you had to do was mine for it. Not many miners just sat there and stacked coins with anticipation that it'd be so highly priced today.
In that sense, it's not all that crazy to spend 10k btc on a pizza, it's only in hindsight that it "sounds" insane, but in reality, it was a fair priced trade for the time.
The same argument could be made if bitcoin really does go to 100k in the future... alll of the people selling right now because they are happy with their profits... it looks great right now, but wouldn't look so great in the future.
The opposite could be said as well, what if bitcoin goes ot $500 in the future... yet you are holding until the moon...

I think he's thinking he's idiot now No one wants to be millionaire by spending millions of dollars on 1 Pizza. I wouldn't appreciate to be in his place.
No one wants to be millionaire by spending millions of dollars on 1 Pizza. I wouldn't appreciate to be in his place.No, but all of us believe you're the idiot.
If it weren't for that pizza maybe nobody would have transacted BTC for something for months or maybe we would have never had a btc transaction between people.
So the value of BTC would be the same as before the pizza buy, a big fat 0.
The amount of newbies acting as the gods of knowledge around here is disgusting.
Yeah right! We should be thankful to that guy. And to the pizza owner who accepts bitcoin. Great things really comes from small beginning. That's just how it goes.If bitcoin wasn't spent before, then there's ni bitcoin today. So we should all support bitcoin and continue to buy using bitcoin to support its purpose as a digital currency.
There was no pizza restaurant accepting bitcoin at that time.
There was no shop accepting bitcoin. That was one of the first transactions between two guys with some kind of value.
The receiver of the 10k BTC paid with a cc for the pizza to be delivered to Lazlo.

he could have spent 10k btc on the btc and bought 10k btc again in the next minute
doesnt make any difference..
life goes on

Certainly, they all contributed their qota to the historical snakes of Bitcoin and they are responsible for its advancement and rich history of Bitcoin. Had he not spent that much bitcoins maybe future generations wouldn't even believe the history of Bitcoin sockets consider all as one package.
Yes you wrote a good writing.Everyone want to be here when million dollars pizza sold but we cant.we should look to the future.Every new coin excites me
...guy is a hero in Bitcoin really. Because when bitcoin wouldnt be spend in the early days we all now wouldnt be here... Early spenders made it possible for bitcoin to develop. So to say he spend half a billion on a pizza. Well not in that time. What he actually did was to make it possible to boost bitcoin to the price of today.
He sacrificed, as other early spenders, money to give others money basicly. Because only now its a store of value because of these early spendings. He was one of the founders of the total marketcap of today. He basicly invested a portion of his wealth to create a huge ponzi scheme... haha. Well jk. But anyway. I think thats a better way to look at it then a guy who ordered a pizza of half a billion.
No, thats not how it is. Cause if no one would v spended bitcoin in beginning it would be worthless today.

I agree that actions like this help spread the word about BTC and its eventual rise, but to keep saying he lost or wasted million of dollars is just absurd
he didnt sacrifice anything..

doesnt make any difference..

i guessing the guy jump off a bridge are something a few year later are is committed .No way is he alive are sane at this stage
lol Heroes dont do like that
I think he was a little sad as he find out Bitcoin BTC price a few years later..
But he realy cant imagine the future where some "NUMBERS" on computer have so big value for all people. It was first steps of cryptocurrencies in general and it cant be without things like that.
Yea he didn't see the potential. I think it's pretty funny and ironic that one would use $5000 coins for pizza. and 10000 of them as well. but whats done is done, no use crying over split milk.
the "potential" was the fact that he took a decentralized digital token (practically some numbers on the computer back then) and used it as a currency for the first time in the history.
and obviously he did not posses the magic ball you have to tell him about the future. and who said 10,000 bitcoin was all the bitcoin he ever owned? have you ever thought he may have 1,000,000 coins right now!
10 000 BTC for a pizza? This guy must have felt content when he paid for it with BTC which he has mined. He wasn't able to predict Bitcoin's future price. Early spenders probably blame themselves but for us it was very important. Maybe they encouraged other people to buy BTC from them?

thats my whole point. If those early spenders werent there... it would have never came this far... whether he knew it would be worth that much or not. That doesnt matter. He was one of the few that made it happen.
Exactly, their experience and the contribution add up to the current craze and interest in bitcoin. At least he got pizzas for them, what about those that lost their private keys or their harddrives forever? They list them without even a slice of pizza.

Yes he is. But I think more likely he did it out of fun and experimentation. And he didn't know that 10k btc will become billions today so he didn't actually lose billions out of 2boxes of pizza. What I'm wondering now is how many btc does that pizza guy have right now and how much profit he got from it as of this year. And what happened to the other guy who received 10k btc from him? Maybe they're in touch with each other and became pals playing golf, drinking wine somewhere in this planet, lol! What a story to tell to their children and grandchildren in the future. Yeah, this is me daydreaming after reading a novel.
