Saying hello, and have a few questions

[casinocoin]

1 BTC sent your way you Bitcoin legend  

Wow thanks, I do still have access to it.  You should never delete a wallet, even if you've spent what was 'in' it.
I appreciate the donations, but nobody owes me anything.. I generated my share and I spent it, it was just at a time when the value was lower, but so was the generation difficulty, and the block reward was 50.

Heya Laszlo,

Welcome! I sent you some bitcoins to play with Come hang out with us on irc.freenode.org #bitcoin-dev

- duck

That's awesome 

Like to think I would have given some away during that time too.

Then created a few millionaires just for being sound.

I heard from one person who bought a house with their pizza bitcoins, indirectly, by trading it for cash first.  Apparently it was a lot of hassle with the bank due to AML and just their general distaste for currencies they don't control.  I wish I could say I did the same, but the pizza didn't appreciate the same way as the bitcoins

I think pizza always appreciates. @Laszlo your pizza sorry was the first story I read about bitcoins and my first knowledge of cryptocurrencies, your a legend.

[Bubbles06]

The pizza was one of the first times I really took notice of bitcoin. It really was a historic milestone for bitcoin.

I don't remember if I had heard of the white paper before hearing of the pizza, but the pizza is the news bite that really sticks out in my mind.

The pizzia story is epic.

It really puts into perspective the power of bitcoin.

You can ignore the fact as to how expensive the pizza was, but remember the fact as to how quickly funds were able to be transferred across the atlantic for a specific product.

I spent it all on pizza long ago:  https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza.  I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time.  I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this.

Laszlo

wouldn't u be a hero member by now?

doesnt have to be, as bitcoin was not so much "a thing" back then, and alot of people went in and out on bitcoin.
but that pizza story truly is epic and shows how much patience sometimes pays off.

IIRC the guy who bought pizza for 10k coins said in his OP (or maybe in the thread where he made his offer) that he had mining hardware that could easily generate 10k+ coins per month and he actually did it a couple of times. Assuming he did not completely cash out, he likely has a good amount of coins in his possession. It may not be millions of dollars worth, but certainly a good amount by most people's standards.

[errornone]

Pics are still in the same location for anyone interested.  I didn't trade bitcoins for the child - she's my daughter, Amy.  Only the pizza was traded.

Don't know if you're still coming here, just thought I'd let you know i was explaining bitcoin pizza day to someone who has no idea about bitcoin the other day, in other words.... you are as much a part of the bitcoin story as, dare I say it, Satoshi. Thanks for giving BTC a value.

It's kind of funny to read these old posts and see how people threw bitcoins at eachother. lol

If you google OP's address there are several addresses with 100btc that have remained untouched since 2011.

most likely lost

Ouch. This was like one of the first old posts address I followed and already so much btc lost. I wonder how much of the 12 mil that are out there now are still in circulation and accessible.

As Satoshi said it himself..... lost coins are like donated coins..... to EVERYONE. So i dont mind lost coins at all.... i wish half of that 12 millions are lost....

Imagine in the future if btc would hit 100.000$, people are gonna start teaming up to hunt these lost address down and try to access them.

Actually, why haven't they already started?

But bitcoin so far was 3200$ almost, its too far in reality to 100K$ before it happens I think it will take decades before it reach that amount.
I guess there's a miracle happen were bitcoin becomes 100,000$ so that many of the bitcoin enthusiast instantly become a millionaires for sures.

this post was on 2010, this show that how people in the past tackled about the price of coin but it is not only 100$ we want it to 100000$ and wait the time for it.

Bitcoin is now $4000+. We all agree with this point that the prices are going to boost up in future but what will be the highest price that Bitcoins will be able to touch, is something that I think is unknown to everyone at the moment. Let’s wait and watch. I do not want to give the wrong idea but bitcoin holders will be the rich people of future also.

From here on out the "price" of bitcoin as measured in central banker confetti is kind of meaningless. 

They can create ANY amount of fiat currency.

Bitcoin is not exactly $4000 at the moment but it is predicted it will reach this amount by the end of this year. Do correct me if I am wrong! I will highly appreciate it. I agree with this point that no person can predict the highest target it is going to achieve. Also, you are not pushing false ideas into anyone about the new generation of rich people. We all are aware of this fact already.
