...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.

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.  Grin
