Another "bitcoin pizza" thread

[Gleb Gamow]

For starters, a paragraph should be included here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_John%27s_Pizza#Media_coverage

I'm sure that that within itself would pique some interest from corporate, especially if such were professionally penned to elicit emotions.

What is the emphasis on in "10,000 BTC pizza", obviously not the pizza but the 10,000 BTC, why would papajohns want to pump Bitcoin? They aren't a bunch of bums sitting on assets waiting for them to appreciate in value.

The guy that got the 10.000 BTC back then by delivering those famous pizzas (it was indeed a couple), im pretty sure it's still pretty broke since im just sure he forgot about Bitcoin, didn't even know exactly what Bitcoin was or how to securely store, mistakenly lost it, or sold when it was like 5 dollars thinking price was under an extreme bubble.

If you are interested to learn how was all the story read this article. It is very interesting the story because the bitcoins was send not to the pizza maker but to another person which pay then 25 us dollar to buy the pizza for the sender of bitcoin. And for the most this transaction is marked as the firs transaction of bitcoin on its story. Learn more (if you want) here: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/this-pizza-is-worth-750000

From the article: "It is widely believed that the first real-world bitcoin transaction took place on May 21st, 2010. Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer living in Florida, sent 10,000 bitcoin (BTC), the online-only, open source cryptocurrency, to a volunteer in England, who then spent about $25 to order Hanyecz some Papa John's."
