$10m worth of BTC to float on market by Winklevoss bros (of Facebook fame)

Seriously, kudos to the Winklevii for backing bitcoin.

I think the community owes them a massive favour. Well, hopefully they'll get a return when all their hard work pays off.

One interesting story came up during the article which was that early on in BTC's history, some guy paid 10,000 BTC for a pizza. Betcha he isn't laughing now.

He did not pay his btc for pizza. He gave them to delivery guy.  Pizza guy got his fiat money. Delivery guy got his 10K btc which were worthless at that time. If he did not waste this btc for gambling, he is probably laughing now.

This is a pretty creative way to get more people's money invested in bitcoins.  I'm sure if there is a lot of interest there will be a coorelating price rise.

Great full page article about BTC in todays Sunday Times Business Section (UK). Lots of interesting stuff with the general theme being that BTC is stage one of an evolutionary process.

Winklevoss bros annoy me..

Pretty sure it was TWO pizzas. Only mention it because it reduces the price by half.
