I just realized that my 50 BTC donation to the forum is now worth $2.9 million. Wow! Never in my life have I expected it to be that big.

This is the most obvious 'bitcoin pizza' moment for me. What's your bitcoin pizza moment? Anything crazy you want to share?

Here's to another 10 years of HODL'ing

I just realized that selling most of my Ether (which I bought for a fraction of a dollar during the ICO) only at a couple of dollars wasn't the smartest move I ever did. I bought a couple of thousand of Ether and I can tell you it hurts! Wink

Back then I thought getting like 10 x the investment is awesome. Not for a second did I believe that Ether could touch four figures. It might even soon be at five figures. That is my bitcoin pizza moment, but yours is also interesting.

I have another one though, but that was a good friend. He mined Bitcoin and sold 30,000 Bitcoin for 30,000 dollars and bought a BMW! Cheesy

That BMW is worth 1,700,000,000 dollars. He is still smiling though! Grin

I sell my ETH in past after get paid from signature campaign. If can sell this time i will be very rich Grin

. But i not really regret it because even myself don't know if bitcoin and altcoins will rally to this far and if know, of course i will hold my coins until now. A lot of people might be have same experience too.

Issues aside.
It wasn't a pizza moment for me, but I remember back in 2017 when Bitcoin reached 20k and I remember that I can't cash out my investments in BTC back then til it started to crash.
It was like emotional moment for me, but hey something to celebrate at the least.

I think that there is no need to regret anything at all and never! Experience is the most valuable and important thing in our life and this experience is priceless, the rest is tinsel and trifles. If you once owned so many bitcoins, this is good, if life gave you the opportunity, then it will give you more in the future. For example, no one bothered to do NFT in the last year and make a lot of money on this topic. I am sure that there will be many more such opportunities in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, so you have been in trend for a long time and you just should not give up, look at everything with irony and be happy no matter what!

Pizza Moment refers to one's vision of Bitcoin at the moment they spend it and compare the past moment with the future. I once bought 10BTC for $ 5000 in 2016 and transferred them to a multi-level investment website. Even though I have made a good profit, if I hold 10 BTC so far I have about 550K $. I have no regrets about my decisions at the time I bought Bitcoin and how I used them. I am regretting the past, that doesn't make sense.

I guess my Bitcoin Pizza Moment is that i have heared about Bitcoin in 2011 when i got more advertises on the internet for Bitcoin and Litecoin. I wasn't 18 back then and couldn't invest in it. But that's not my Pizza Moment. The real Pizza Moment was when i searched then for free ways to got Bitcoins and as far as i remember me i found Freebitco.in, solved the captcha once and then let it be, because i only had to solce one captcha and get some sort of money for that? This shit can't be for real, it's 100% scam. 7 years later, when i got really into crypto and free ways to earn it, guess on which faucet i'm claiming now... And at the moment i only get 3-4 Satoshis. Imagine how much i would have now, if i haven't thought this is scam Shocked

But at the moment i have a nice portfolio for free, only for solving some tasks. *So i have that going for me, which is nice*
And i don't think to sell it now. I wi just hodl for some years

My Bitcoin pizza moment happened two years back in 2019 during the month of September. That is when I lost more than eighty ethereum in gambling. If I've kept hold. Now it could've turned atleast a small portion of a million. Now I wasn't able to accept it, but life has to move on hoping for the best to happen.

I'm not sure if I have any bitcoin pizza moment for now though I sold off some coins I earned participating in some campaign in 2017 at the worth of $18k then and I think that is fair enough as at then though I hoped to have hold but I needed the money then

I don't have any of those kind of big Bitcoin pizza moments,
The only thing that I spend my Bitcoin on my early days was buying load with it.
I used to spend my BTC for Mobile loads or to top up my online games back then and up till now.

Me neither. I spent some BTC in the past, nowadays it would be worth more but it's tricky to count it like that. For me the point is to never spend (or sell) all your BTC. You can spend as the price rises to enjoy some profits, so if the price keeps rising (as most of us expect) you won't regret spending a little bit in the past.

It happened for almost everyone to sell their coins last year for a large amount and did not imagine this year would be like this. But don't think too long about the regrets you experience because this can be a great lesson to be more confident with virtual currencies that will surprise you later. I also did the same thing by selling at a time when the price I expected would never go up again. but all my strategies have been broken. I believe there will come a time when the price will fall again in a few days and grow back, that time you should be looking forward to.

WTF?

You don't consider the disappearance of your depositors' 4100 BTC in 2013, now worth $238 million, your "bitcoin pizza moment"?

It was before my time on this forum so I had to check out what it was all about, but now I see that the OP is definitely wrong for its “pizza moment” and some still live in the belief that time erases all sins and mistakes.

No sense in crying over spilled milk, most have taken some wrong steps, which in the end come down to how much money anyone would have today if they hadn't sold or lost some coins - and what is much more important is whether someone has learned a life lesson from it or is still making the same mistakes.

Where have you been? I wish I'd met someone like you back in the days to tell me about BTC... unfortunately I only found out about BTC in 2013 by myself. That's my biggest regret. Of course there are more but sometimes I wish I have joined the train earlier.

I have the impression that you would be happy only if Satoshi Nakamoto called you and allowed you to be among the first miners - so you knew about BTC before at least 80% of active users of this forum at the moment, why so much greed?

It's not greed, it's just regret. I'm happy how it turned out in the end but as a human being I also know it could have been better

It's ok no worries, could have been also worse I guess.

I am not having the Bitcoin moment but certainly has the same kind of feel when you are selling off the coins at cheap rates just before the rally. It has happened to me in XRP, ETH, ETC, BNB and in Doge but it cannot be matched with your million dollar donation Cheesy

. I know a few who gambled off more than your donated money but i am smart enough to stay away from those madness but it is all about the thrill of looking back and now you can proudly say that you donated millions in today's money for the Bitcoin forum development Wink

My bitcoin pizza moment, or more precisely, bitcoin pizza regret was not getting involved with bitcoin even earlier. Back in 2011, I was conducting some online deals and sales. One of my accepted payment methods of choice were Liberty Reserve dollars. One guy suggested he could pay me in bitcoin, and we are talking about probably 70-80 bitcoins at the time. I turned it down as I still had no idea what he was talking about and took Liberty Reserve instead. Dumb cunt.

I bought a shitty "make money online" guide for $30 BTC back in 2017 and I got scammed on Discord for $100 BTC back in May last year.The Bitcoin price was way lower in May 2020 and 2017,so I've lost way more money.
These are my "Bitcoin pizza" moments. Grin

I wish they never happened,but making mistakes is a big part of learning and gaining experience.
My Bitcoin pizza moments can't be compared with yours.Do you regret making your BTC donation?

While I had no pizza moment, I spent my earnings on some CSGO skins which costed several hundred dollars back then in 2017.

No regrets though, since many of us would have cashed in or sold our holdings

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

I didn't realise I've got a 'bitcoin pizza' moment until recently. Back in 2017 and 2018, there were so many signature campaigns I participated in that help me earn some bitcoin. I, however sold them off as soon as it accumulates to a decent figure. The wallet I was using then is blockchain.info wallet (now blovkvhain.com) and all records of transactions were there.
Recently, I logged in to my blockchain wallet and I saw how much each of those transactions I made then worth now and I'm totally surprised and sad at the same time. I'm surprised those bits of bitcoin then could worth so much now and I'm sad because I would have made so much more if I had held my coins

I don't know if this counts but I cashed out my bitcoin when it wasn't around the 10k mark yet and I could've waited for the time that it did pump but I was stupid and find the money equivalent shiny for me, I got blinded by petty amount and I regret it a little bit but right now, I am saving again and hopefully get a big profit.

"My 50 BTC donation" lol. The word "my" means a lot of things to a lot of people, especially when used by you.

But to get back on topic, I suppose my personal "bitcoin pizza" moment was when I realized I could use BTC to place an order with Grab Food, more or less. Grab Food being the Uber Eats of Southeast Asia.
