Background-Story:

An Interview with Jeremy Sturdivant aka “Jercos”, the young man who sold two pizzas for 10,000 BTC 5 years ago on May 22, 2010 in what would come to be recognized as the first transaction involving a tangible good or service in bitcoin history.

 

On May 22, 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz famously declared success in his four day quest to trade 10,000 BTC for “a couple of pizzas”, posting on a bitcointalk forum page:

 

    “I just want to report that I successfully traded 10,000 bitcoins for pizza. Thanks jercos!"

Nice!  This was one of the first stories I read when learning about bitcoins.  I am definitely buying a pizza!

Still can't find a pizza store in my country that would gladly accept bitcoins as a form of payment. :( But will it count on the celebration if ever I exchanged my bitcoins to fiat then buy pizza? Or that wouldn't?

I have just found a great excuse to order a massive pizza on the 22nd!

Would be nice if everybody in the world together bought pizzas equalling the same amount of btc used back then ;)

I wonder if that's an exploitable gap in the market. How many orders could someone get if he advertised here offering pizza deliveries for a specific area of a country on Bitcoin pizza day? If he had transport and enough orders in a particular region he could make handsome profits. There must be Bitcoiners all over the world longing to buy pizza on Bitcoin pizza day in areas where no pizza services accept Bitcoin.

that story could repeat itself easily if bitcoin skyrocket again, i mean now you would pay what? 0.03 for a pizza? those 0.03 if bitcoin reach 10k-100k one day(not impossible), would bring a whole new topic about it, maybe not as a good as the original though

Did he sell them?

Thats a silly number there. I dont know how much are you paying in your contry for pizza but In my county now you could purchase a large pan of Pizza Hut for 0.04 btc (converted to fiat ) and thats including delivery cost as well. If bitcoin to reach 10k  then we will be paying in satoshis for a large pan of pizza

anyway OP there is already a similar thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80844.0

He purchased two pizzas with 10k bitcoin

Nice vanity donation address you have there. It's also one of the famous Bitcoin story I heard. I would really like to see people attending this remarkable events in the five location listed. It seem to far for me to get there.

I am going to celebrate it, with treating my co-workers with Pizza(since it is a small company and on Friday, there are even less people there, it shouldn't cost me too much).
Luckily we have this in Austria http://www.lieferservice.at/, who accepts Bitcoin for Pizza.

I am flying to the bronx tonight and hopefully no delay in the flight so that I can catch a pizza with my BTC. But who knows ! They should arrange this type of program all over the world so that people can get used to BTC.

Doing this is great, but the reality is that most of pizza stores in different countries of the world aren't ready for accepting bitcoins yet, like the pizza stores in my country. Btw, if someone ordered a pizza on the 22nd of May, kindly screenshot your orders so that we could look back on this thread after 4 years. :)

OK, what did he do with the coins?

According to "Jercos", he cashed out when those 10,000 BTC were worth $400 10x ROI http://bitcoinwhoswho.com/jercosinterview (http://bitcoinwhoswho.com/jercosinterview)

No the ones that profit out of it  was the ones that bought his 10k BTCs. But who knows maybe he invested his money into some good business and get even more then what he could by holding this BTCs.

using bitcoins to buy pizzas is a good idea.
there aren't alot of pizza shops that use bitcoins yet. may be in future you will get some real life pizza stores where you can buy some pizzas for bitcoins.

As much as I'd like to get involved with bitcoin pizza day and hope it catches on as a genuine bitcoin holiday celebration, I don't want to end up spending bitcoins that may considerably rise in value like what happened with the original guy  :D.

It was 5 pizzas(or Pizzen like we say in Austria) for me and my working colleagues.
Sadly, the ones, who don't know (much) about Bitcoin, didn't ask question, but where just glad about the free pizza.
