Do you mean,10,000 Bitcoin for 1 pizza? At that time the price of bitcoin is low, this may be the reason for huge amount of bitcoin for single pizza.If he had get more order,surely he will get huge amount of bitcoin. If they don't lose that Bitcoin, surely that person will be the top ten richest person in this world. Grin

I do not know that the pizza's were sold by 10 thousand Bitcoin. However, he had more than $81 million in today's market value.

The pizza wasn't actually sold to him, what I meant is that he didn't paid the bitcoins directly to the pizza chain/restaurant and the pizzas will be delivered to him, what actually happened was he posted an offer here in bitcointalk forum that he would pay 10,000 BTC to whoever makes or orders 2 pizza for him. He posted the offer May 18, 2010, 12:35:20 AM and he reported May 22, 2010, 07:17:26 PM that the offer was completed by jercos thus becoming the first ever bitcoin transaction. At that time there wasn't any store that would accept Bitcoin as a payment and it took 4 days for the offer to be completed.

I know this story 1 years ago,hope the person who bought pizza with btc the situation is okay now,this is gonna be a big learning and hopefully we will not regret with what we are doing in this day.Good luck

I think he is okay because he didn't bought those coins but of course he didn't expect that the value of the coin will rise after some months, Actually he is a miner as he posted in his offer post that he can't generate thousands of coins a day anymore. At the time he posted the offer, the price of BTC was less than a cent each and what he wanted at that time is for bitcoin to have a use case in real life and he was successful with it, and created the first ever bitcoin transaction.
