The Sunday Times Business Section is part of one of those old fashioned things called newspapers. Ask your parents what they were.

Bitcoin has none. Its only long-term value is as a currency. Currencies have no value if they aren't used as means of exchange. Title: Re: $10m worth of BTC to float on market by Winklevoss bros (of Facebook fame) Post by: drwho88888 on July 08, 2013, 07:01:22 AM One interesting story came up during the article which was that early on in BTC's history, some guy paid 10,000 BTC for a pizza. Betcha he isn't laughing now.
It would be interesting to hear of other stories from those who have been involved since the start. If there are any on this forum.

Bitcoin has none. Its only long-term value is as a currency. Currencies have no value if they aren't used as means of exchange. Unlike land that's expected to be associated with natural resources, the value of "empty land at the center of a city" is often based on the economic activity that surrounds the land. Roughly the same for Bitcoins.Title: Re: $10m worth of BTC to float on market by Winklevoss bros (of Facebook fame) Post by: favdesu on July 08, 2013, 01:49:55 PM pics or it didn't happen :)

I think the community owes them a massive favour. Well, hopefully they'll get a return when all their hard work pays off. Title: Re: $10m worth of BTC to float on market by Winklevoss bros (of Facebook fame) Post by: killcat on July 08, 2013, 11:59:01 PM I read this article as well, good read.

Betcha he isn't laughing now. He did not pay his btc for pizza. He gave them to delivery guy. Pizza guy got his fiat money. Delivery guy got his 10K btc which were worthless at that time. If he did not waste this btc for gambling, he is probably laughing now. Title: Re: $10m worth of BTC to float on market by Winklevoss bros (of Facebook fame) Post by: Cudahuda on July 09, 2013, 12:57:11 AM This is a pretty creative way to get more people's money invested in bitcoins. I'm sure if there is a lot of interest there will be a coorelating price rise.
