I heard from one person who bought a house with their pizza bitcoins, indirectly, by trading it for cash first. Apparently it was a lot of hassle with the bank due to AML and just their general distaste for currencies they don't control. I wish I could say I did the same, but the pizza didn't appreciate the same way as the bitcoins

You know you could actually sell pizzas based on your story. People sold burgers with less credentials than you based on their story..
You could be like the Buffalo Bill of Bitcoin, on tours, etc...
I'm sure he could make some coins out of this one way or another if he so wanted to
