Title: Anyone remember alpaca socks?
Post by: boymilk on June 02, 2014, 07:40:25 AM
What happened to them? They were one of the first to accept bitcoins as payment back in 2011. That and the famous 40,000 BTC pizza of course. Did they keep the thousands of bitcoins that they must have received? Or did they exchange them to fiat?

And what happened to the guy who sold the famous pizza? And the guy who bought it? Or was it two pizzas?? Are they still around? 40,000 BTC would be worth millions today. Anyone know what happened to those bitcoins?

You can still buy both with btc. The bitcoins have probably been distributed over many addresses through selling on exchanges. You might have a fraction too!

I am going to smell every satoshi to see if there's a pizza smell on them.

You can see the pictures of the two pizzas. :) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109.msg5145472#msg5145472
And laszlo (the pizza buyer) is still here, though not very active (last active in Apr). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143
