Is laszlo back?

The best time to buy bitcoin was in 2010.
The second best time to buy bitcoin is today.

This is my small inspiration, that helps me deal with the fact that I was playing videogames in 2010 instead of being around here.

You were playing Video games in 2010 and I were playing those video games in 2008-2009 but for studies I've to give up on those games and that was my mistake. Because the video games I were playing were online video games where I had some good friends, and if I were not to move for my studies then I would also be in Bitcoin during 2010. However, that time is gone and we can't do anything than regretting, but of course we can still Buy Bitcoin and over next 10 to 15 years we might get 2x to 10x return.

I had a very few good years playing Halo at that time.
Instead of caring about bitcoin I was trying to memorise all the spawn sequence in multiplayer maps.
Such a waste of time.
But yeah, second best time is today.

where we were when he bought those pizzas?

I can't really remember, but I am sure I was buying pizzas with euros back then

That happened in May, right? I was definitely going to school and then playing with kids in the garden and I was dreaming about my summer holidays cause I loved them very much.

Me too.
And every pizza we bought with euro, costed us many millions (our pizzas are smaller than US ones).
Everything we purchased with euro, instead of buying Bitcoin coated us millions because we could have bought bitcoins instead.
It’s only less immediate.

You are right and that's such a painful experience but I calm myself with the fact that I was a kid and I couldn't make a good decision, I also didn't know about Bitcoin back then.
By the way, I have one question. I was checking Bitcoin's market cap few years ago and I'm shocked that it was just a few million dollars and sometimes even lower than that. How on earth no one thought in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 that Bitcoin would be a great investment option? Why weren't people investing in Bitcoin? I was kid back then but I feel like if I was this age in 2012 that I'm today, I would definitely buy it because there are simply too many reasons to invest in Bitcoin.

Well, that's what I used to do, I tried to learn tactics of game play to be top player in a game, it was basically Vice City with its multiplayer mode that I used to play back in time.

Those were some golden years but unfortunately we've missed the might innovation of that time which would now make us wealthiest if we had known about it instead of playing those online games.

However, this day is with us and that even till day if we do well with our beloved crypto currency Bitcoin we can still be happy and prosperous in next few years.

Yeah the second best time to start is today, some time ago I was imagining how successful I would have been if I started Bitcoin investment in 2010, I think about the amount of Bitcoin that would have been in my wallet, and the more I keep thinking about it the more I become sad, I heard about Bitcoin in 2010 but I never understood what it was all about and I was not even interested to know about it because it was a new thing that I see as useless, some times I curse myself for not going into research to know what Bitcoin is about when I heard about it, if I heard done some research about Bitcoin then I'm sure I would have accumulated maybe a little and just to see what it will turn into, and that little would have been a lot know, but I may as well have sold all when it got to a good price, I respect those that have been holding from 2010 till date they are one of a kind.
However we are not still late, Bitcoin once had no value but today it has value, Bitcoin was once $10 and today is $117k as the time of writing this post, so what makes you think it won't get to $1 million, so if you are starting now you are not late.

Well, Laszlo's appearances lasted for almost a month straight, but he never wrote a post during that time. His last online appearance was on 10 August. I wonder what prompted him to return without posting any comments? Was it him, or was his profile hacked? Was it him, or his children?
Unfortunately, we will never know, unless Laszlo comes back online and writes something.

[xmrhopium]

Following the Bitcoin pizza shenanigans, I noted that laszlo was online earlier today.
Is that possible?

Very much possible. I wonder every time he smells the pizza it reminds him of the forum, just checked it, legend was logged in 2 days ago.

Laszlo, he came online again on October 11th, his online appearance was just a glimpse. But he didn't touch with his mouth and he didn't type with his hand, so is he just looking at us?
This comment is mine too because he is only following the past, I don't know if he is still among us or has gone to the land of no return?

I think it's high time we stopped stalking at Laszlo about when he comes online and when he leaves or how long he has spent and if he would make a post or not. He is an OG in the forum no doubt but if he values this forum after a long time of inactivity i think he'll make a post but since he comes online and doesn't make any posts might mean he is no longer interested in the forum. It's better we let him be instead of monitoring his profile. I wonder the kind of traffic he will cause in the forum the day he decides to make a post, hahaha.

If Laszlo's account was hijacked, the hijacker was supposed to be sending pms to people in order to scam them. No one hijacks such an important account and remains mute for a very long time.
To me, keeping the account active is enough for me. I don't see Laszlo making posts in this forum because his time has past. The best he can do for us is to make a post, publicly telling everyone that he is the real Laszlo and maybe sign a message and that is all.

He does not need to do anything as he does not harm the forum and forum members by activating his account again after many inactive years.
We have no rights or power to force him doing anything such as signing a Bitcoin message or a PGP message.

If he does not use this account for harming anyone, let him be, free of the discussion, free of the curiousity on who is behind the account now.

After all, one question, is this discussion belongs to Meta?

We are on the same page. But I feel that keeping the whole community guessing wouldn't be the best idea. Making a simple welcome back post and go mute could save us all these stresses of people opening random topics because of him.

Obviously a reputation thread

That's precisely why it's strange! If it had been hacked, someone would have received private messages, perhaps with fake scams. But so far, no one has said anything! We see him online from time to time, but he doesn't post anything.
I wonder what the point is in logging in and staying silent? He could just read the forum without logging into his profile.
This is another reason why I think it's a close relative, perhaps his children or wife, who are looking for something!
Obviously, these are just my thoughts.

You have certain advantages when you read the forum while being logged-in, at minimum what is unread so far or your watch-list and so on. It totally makes sense to me that Laszlo would use those benefits when he's logged-in.

If he or whoever uses his account doesn't want to post something, then this is his or theirs decision. Nobody here has the right to demand he has to post something. Ridiculous idea. (Not speaking to you who I've cited.)

Otherwise, leave the guy in peace. Some are really obsessed to stalk him.

I agree with you! No one here should expect Laszlo to write anything. We don't know what prompted him to return, but it's good for the community that he's still here on this forum! Personally, it doesn't change my life whether he writes or not, but I'd be happy to have a chat with him.

laszlo account was active again on October 15, but he didnt post anything since 2014.
I am sure he is browsing the forum and reading the news, but it would be amazing to see him posting something.
Just today I was talking with one guy in my local store and he knew about laszlo bitcoin&pizza story, and he doesnt know much about bitcoin.

Yes, many people know bitcoin stories but they don't know about bitcoin. For instance, myself, I knew about Laszlo's story before joining this forum. And after joining the forum, it took sometime for me to discover that Laszo posted here. After I discovered Laszlo, I began to discover others and know about historical things that happened here.

I am sure he is browsing the forum and reading the news, but it would be amazing to see him posting something.

I am just imagining the kind of news he is reading from the forum because quality of discussion didn't only drop, the discussion context changed. They were talking about bitcoin development then, while we are talking about bitcoin earning now.

I just made this thread about how Laszlo really spent around 100k btc on pizza not just 10k. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5563092.msg65950660#msg65950660

Since this is the biggest story from the early days of bitcoin I'm trying to find out the exact amount that was spent on pizza and who are the other people that sold Laszlo pizza for btc? Since Laszlo is back now it would be really cool if he gave all the details but I'm not expecting him to or feel entitled to that of course. Just think it would be cool. Maybe the other people that sold Laszlo pizza for btc can come forward and we can find out how much was really spent on it. I wonder if those other people are still on bitcointalk.

Do you think that Laszlo will still remember all the people he bought Pizza from? I believe he has other things doing in his life other than pizza. Even if he is back to the forum, I can guarantee that he doesn't have such memories in complete again. Assuming he created a single thread here in BTT for all the transactions, I would have been easy to trace. The viable option now is through his pm. At least anyone who transacted with him here must have do so through pm. But then, does he have that time? No!

Yes, you're right, actually!
It would be better to leave him alone and let him do what he wants. After all, it's his choice not to write anything.
If he ever wants to communicate with us, we'll be here, happy to wait for him.
