I hope that pizza shop is a multi millionaire now. But the question is , did they save the private keys. Or else 10k BTC is lost forever.
I have often wondered why history and documentations are silent on the shop that purchase was made. And this is not fair to the guy who made that 10,000btc exchange if the spotlight is going to be on him alone. It will make many cast aspersions on the dude as being stupid and then believe the buyer is lucky and smarter for that exchange. We can't really be sure the shop still has the bitcoin intact. Researchers should find out what eventually happened. I am curious on this.
I feel lots of regret everytime I heard a story like this.
Why would you feel any pang of regret when the story told isn't even yours in the first place. Are you always that mushy mushy? I bet you aren't a trader. It takes an emotionless state of mind to place a trade.
