This is great. This thread gives you perspective of what the future could look like.

Round and with much topping?

180 000$ pizza. yammy...  could be more expensive than the house it was consumed in

This story will become legendary.  I want to see pics of the guys mansion when it will be worth $10 million usd soon

It's almost like hitting the lottery, god damn if you were the guy who got those 10k and just forgot about them.  Only to check back in one year, and then realized you reformatted your PC with your wallet on it.

wondering why this forum was not deleted yet
would serve better as stuff for legends if not available online and open to comments

and no, you're still looking at 30$ pizzas, in May 2010 there was no real use for bitcoin
so this is a nice example how they reached circulation by a non miner

I will gladly send you 2 pizzas for $270,000 worth of BTC. 

[nemo]

I'll send 3.

[bitrebel]

I'll pay 10 pizzas will everything on them, for 10,000 bitcoins. I made Lazlos deal pale in comparison.

[bitrebel]

I just think it would be interesting if I could say that I paid for a pizza in bitcoins

I think it would be interesting if the guy you gave those bitcoins to, saves them for another 2 years and he's worth 10 Million.

Then you'll definitely have the world record for most expensive pizza if you don't already.

[saqwe]

that's a 150.000 $ pizza now..

This is truly an epic thread.
Will be here for all BTC history.

I thought I would look for the pizza-purchase transaction. There are two candidate transactions. Both of them are for 10,000 BTC on 22 May 2010:

http://blockexplorer.com/address/17SkEw2md5avVNyYgj6RiXuQKNwkXaxFyQ

According to Bitcoin Block Explorer, both of these transactions were spent as "Strange" transactions. The first one (above) was spent a day later, the second one was spent in the very next block after it was received.

What does it mean for a transaction to be "Strange"? Strangeness doesn't seem to have stopped the transaction outputs being spent again later.

Hold your mouse over the question mark by "type".

"Strange is an unusual transaction not created by the official Bitcoin client."

"Strange is an unusual transaction not created by the official Bitcoin client."

Yes for sure, it would not be a surprise if laszlo and/or jercos were using non-standard clients. But lots of transactions come from non-standard clients yet are not marked "Strange". So there must be something unusual about the data itself, and there may be some interesting consequence.

[theymos]

It's strange because the outputs are of different types. It's a mixed pubkey/address transaction.

This isn't really strange, since really old versions used to do this. I changed it to say "mixed types".

[CNMOH]

Might want to update the tooltip as well

[terrytibbs]

What used to be the the most expensive pizza in the world pales in comparison with this.
