Ofcourse there is a bit of regret on his part. But this historical that he did means a lot actually and im pretty sure that its not the only bitcoin he have to spare. He is a miner and probably have some more than what he spend on the two pizza boxes during those times. I dont remember he mentioned it I think but of course we can just assume it like that.
He was early miner and he made the first commercial transaction and that also with 10,000 bitcoins at that time for just two large pizzas which is worth millions now but he has no regrets with it if we check his previous interviews and he is living the same life programmer life but he is more famous now with the pizza guy.

There is some sort of sadness if we see that way because he would have been billionaire by now if he holds onto his mining reward but we have to use it as payment mode also so it's also not bad if he has done it so.He has ordered several pizzas afterwards also as he was mining bitcoin at that time :

I spent it all on pizza long ago:  https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza.  I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time.  I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this. Smiley

But still we are celebrating this day till date in honour of this day and realising the fact how far we have come.
