It's kind of funny to read these old posts and see how people threw bitcoins at eachother. lol

You do realize that you just necro'ed the first post of the guy who bought the famous 10K BTC pizza?

I thought somebody had hacked his account at first in a begging attempt, then saw the date .

Holy shit, didn't realize it was him!



Seems like the infamous buyer of the most expensive pizza of all time has joined us in the thread!^^

At the time, Gavin had a bitcoin 'faucet' that gave out bitcoins for free, and a few people were trading them for less than a cent each, but nothing serious. You can probably find all the old posts on this forum still. I was learning OpenCL programming and mining bitcoins with a video card so the pizza was a good deal for me. I couldn't have known that my pizza trade would end up being such a big deal, or that so many others would become interested in bitcoin and thus drive the value up. The people I traded with didn't know it was going to explode either, they just took a risk - spending their 'real' money to buy some guy pizza in exchange for some internet Monopoly money.

Haha. I thought that's why you had bumped it.Do you know what the guy you bought the pizza did with the coins? Haven't you had a load of messages or media requests? Why did you choose to stop by now after all this time?
