This still makes me cringe, as it wasn't that long ago. That's what I'll be doing, cringing. And I might order a pizza too but I'll be paying for it in fiat because there's still no one around who accepts bitcoin for pizza six years later.

Now there's a web that accepts bitcoin to order your pizza ( http://pizzaforcoins.com/) That's pretty legit web to buy your pizza . But yes. 10000 BTC is litteraly almost $7 million . Wonder what that guy thinking now about his transaction lol.

I have heard the pizza story before, but didn't know the exact date, so yes I will order a pizza that day in observance of such a special occasion. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

this makes me think about the btc i spend in the present days. whenever i pay like 0.05btc to someone , i imagine in like 10 years that 0.05 btc would be worth alot more than $25 just like 10000btc is now worth alot more than 25 bucks.

I don't feel much difference between the pizza days in 2014 and this year... Maybe the price has not grown too much... But I think we should still celebrate it- as long as bitcoin is still surviving it means it is growing!

I will probably buy a gift card with Bitcoin as there is no place around me that directly accepts Bitcoin and will get myself a tasty pizza on that special day if I don't forget lol. This will be the first time I will commemorate this event. I better mark the date on my calendar ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Who is doing something on Bitcoin Pizza Day? May 22nd, 2016?

It would be funny if said member forgot about the transaction. Such a huge amount of btcs for a pizza. If extrapolated to today.. Laszlo could have bought at least 3 homegrown pizza franchises with that much bitcoin already. Whew..I guess I would be buying pizza for fiat on that day though.. i doubt more than 1% of my countries population even heard of bitcoin..

I might order a pizza through an online Dutch service called thuizbezorgd.nl
Basically they have deals with a lot of companies that deliver food and you can order through them, they pay the company and you get your order 30-60 min later.
Best thing is, they started accepting bitcoin 2 years ago!

I think someone should do a follow up interview with Laszlo Hanyecz on that day, and see what happened with him since then. I wonder how many coins he still has and if he lost faith in the tech? He might even be filthy rich from the remaining coins he owned from back in the days. This is just one of the things we will never know about this experiment... the coins we spend today, might be double or triple the value within a month or a year... and you could have bought 3 or 4 of the same items for the exact amount of coins you spend a month or a year ago. I will buy a pizza on that day... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I'm able to pay for pizza from a local pizzeria with bitcoins via their online ordering system (provided by Menufy).
As such, I typically order a pizza for dinner, and pay for it with bitcoins, on Bitcoin Pizza Day.

If this is legitimate, I'll probably purchase some slices later this week.
