I CANT BELIEVE I DID THAT!  i left a sell order up from weeks ago at 139.50....why idk but good thing i realized it now.....cost me a coin to get them back bit i did. dang it dang it dang it. thats a hundred and forty dollar mistake!!!!!!/lesson learned

just be glad you arent the many people who lost 100's of coins back when they werent worth anything and now want to slit their wrists

The most expensive pizza in the history of all time!

augh i would be so sick every day of my life! oh man! lets see 10,000 x 146.12 = 1,464,800              good god man more than what most make in there whole lives!!!!

swear to god if i keep fing my self over trying to catch the lows and highs im going to smash my computer!!!... just kidding i want my wallet haha but siriously im like oh its dropping a bit so ill catch it and make a little off it by buying lowwer. nope! i sold RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM of that little minny dump to 142 on gox aughh had to buy back in two dollars higher. times alot of coins and ya. i should just walk away...

Day trading is a losing game.

if your bad at it

My hunch is, he probably had 10-100x times that :)

You guys completely missed the point! What he did paved the way for btc valuation and legitimacy. The value of that purchase has much much more weight that whatever fiat value it had or have now.

Think about it.

I keep hearing that but I can't really imagine that a pizza purchase was that important in the history of Bitcoin.

It's not about your imagination. You keep hearing about it. It is already etched in history.

Mmmmm pizza.

It's not about a pizza! It's about purchasing something tangible with cryptocurrency. BTC got its second boost when wikileaks and other websites started to accept them. Think about a currency which just gets generated and sits there, without a media of exchange - it is worthless, or will become worthless in a matter of time.

Secondly, 20/20 is always rosy. If btc was dead today instead of 140usd/btc, you would have said - great - at least he got few pizzas. That is always the truth in investing. If you knew Apple stock will reach 700 at some point in next 2 years, you would have bought it at 14 usd per share. Same goes for many other stocks.

Anyway, to me, the first point carried most value, and I thank him for doing it. Very bold and relevant step.

Tell me about it...

Only 2 more posts to go.

I'm sure he still has more than 10000 BTC

It is.

taken from the guinness book of records...

"The most expensive pizza, commercially available, is a thin-crust, wood fire-baked pizza topped with onion puree, white truffle paste, fontina cheese, baby mozzarella, pancetta, cep mushrooms, freshly picked wild mizuna lettuce and garnished with fresh shavings of a rare Italian white truffle, itself worth £1,400 (then $2,500) per 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz). Depending upon the amount of truffles available each season, the pizza is regularly sold at £100 (then $178) each to customers of Gordon Ramsey's Maze restaurant, London, UK."

Surely that does deserve a true spot in the books then? :P or it's close atleast lol

Unless that is the pizza he got? :O

Yeah he's a real hero! :D

Try to recover from it, Gox's interface is really bad, i sold off all my bitcoins at the wrong price and lost money due to lack of confirmation system, if you accidently click "sell" that's it, no "please confirm" etc. I had mtgox on my android, put the numbers just to see how much my BTC are worth, and accidently touched "sell". it went away in less than a second! I managed to recover my losses by day trading a bit, so i'm back where i started now! It's v painful but don't give up, as long as you believe in Bitcoin and crypto you will make the right decisions to recover your money.

Nice life bros

Don't worry - a brief sell-off is coming...


...I can feel it in my bones.

I lost 500 euro worth of LTC due to a dead disk. A mistake i wont be making again. Thats around 700 dollars for reference purposes. You will get over your 140 buck loss. Don't see why it warrents a new thread mind you.  :/

Make a backup regularly! Also use strong passwords (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=strong+passwords) and remember them (or write them on the paper and put the paper on multiple secure locations). Also keep your backups (encrypted with strong cryptography!) on separate cloud services (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and on removable memory (USB sticks, CDs).

making up ground nicly though? oh f this keeps going down. man!!!!!

We can't all win at day-trading ;) But yeah, try not to panic when they start to drop...

That or else it was some really good killer pizza.

million dollar pizza always taste better  ::)

A hero!

I have heard of much worse, lol.. never funny losing money. But imagine how many people lost huge sums in this crypto game...

He can write a book:

I bought a pizza for $100,000,000
