What's your bitcoin pizza moment?

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

I just realized that my 50 BTC donation to the forum is now worth $2.9 million. Wow! Never in my life have I expected it to be that big.

This is the most obvious 'bitcoin pizza' moment for me. What's your bitcoin pizza moment? Anything crazy you want to share?

Here's to another 10 years of HODL'ing

Where have you been? I wish I'd met someone like you back in the days to tell me about BTC... unfortunately I only found out about BTC in 2013 by myself. That's my biggest regret. Of course there are more but sometimes I wish I have joined the train earlier.

I sold a Cryptolator Imperator physical coin loaded with 10,000 Dogecoins a few weeks ago (not to mention mixing it up with another unloaded one and ended up peeling two by mistake). This was when Dogecoin was trading for around $0.05 each. Of course it jumped up to the maximum price yesterday of around $0.70 each. Instead of making up to $7000, I ended up selling them for a few hundred dollars Ah well, I still made a decent profit from the original purchase price and had forgotten all about them until seeing the recent Dogecoin news lately. Not quite on your level, but the latest of many blunders and I expect many more in future!

I traded alts and shitcoins until I made about 2.1 BTC during 2017-2018, well Bitcoin had dropped to the 10K level in 2018, so that was about ~$20K. Well during the crypto winter, I spent every  last bit of it 

Today it would have been worth over $100K if I had decided not to sell off the coins.

for me its about not getting the right orientation about bitcoin when i heard of it during the ponzi golden days. it would have a great joy to keep some bitcoin back then and now find out i have them. this is indeed a big regret.

The bitcoin pizza moment for me was not with Bitcoin but with Dogecoin, when I sold 185,000 Dogecoin at a price of 0.01 and got only  1,800$ while its price now is about 120,000 $. It was a very sad moment for me. I never imagined that the price of a Dogecoin would ever reach. More than  0.02$, but it flew up to  0.7$, of course I feel sad when I remember that, but in the end, I believe in luck and I am satisfied with the thing that I got because regret does not help.

WTF? You don't consider the disappearance of your depositors' 4100 BTC in 2013, now worth $238 million, your "bitcoin pizza moment"?

Sold my first Bitcoin at $180 in 2013 then some weeks later it's over $1000 for ATH.

I don't know if this counts but I cashed out my bitcoin when it wasn't around the 10k mark yet and I could've waited for the time that it did pump but I was stupid and find the money equivalent shiny for me, I got blinded by petty amount and I regret it a little bit but right now, I am saving again and hopefully get a big profit.

I didn't realise I've got a 'bitcoin pizza' moment until recently. Back in 2017 and 2018, there were so many signature campaigns I participated in that help me earn some bitcoin. I, however  sold them off as soon as it accumulates to a decent figure. The wallet I was using then is blockchain.info wallet (now blovkvhain.com) and all records of transactions were there.
Recently, I logged in to my blockchain wallet and I saw how much each of those transactions I made then worth now and I'm totally surprised and sad at the same time. I'm surprised those bits of bitcoin then could worth so much now and I'm sad because I would have made so much more if I had held my coins

[UserU]

While I had no pizza moment, I spent my earnings on some CSGO skins which costed several hundred dollars back then in 2017.

No regrets though, since many of us would have cashed in or sold our holdings

I bought a shitty "make money online" guide for $30 BTC back in 2017 and I got scammed on Discord for $100 BTC back in May last year.The Bitcoin price was way lower in May 2020 and 2017,so I've lost way more money.
These are my "Bitcoin pizza" moments. I wish they never happened,but making mistakes is a big part of learning and gaining experience.
My Bitcoin pizza moments can't be compared with yours.Do you regret making your BTC donation?

[acener]

I don't have any of those kind of big Bitcoin pizza moments,
The only thing that I spend my Bitcoin on my early days was buying load with it.
I used to spend my BTC for Mobile loads or to top up my online games back then and up till now.

Me neither. I spent some BTC in the past, nowadays it would be worth more but it's tricky to count it like that. For me the point is to never spend (or sell) all your BTC. You can spend as the price rises to enjoy some profits, so if the price keeps rising (as most of us expect) you won't regret spending a little bit in the past.

My bitcoin pizza moment, or more precisely, bitcoin pizza regret was not getting involved with bitcoin even earlier. Back in 2011, I was conducting some online deals and sales. One of my accepted payment methods of choice were Liberty Reserve dollars. One guy suggested he could pay me in bitcoin, and we are talking about probably 70-80 bitcoins at the time. I turned it down as I still had no idea what he was talking about and took Liberty Reserve instead. Dumb cunt.

I am not having the Bitcoin moment but certainly has the same kind of feel when you are selling off the coins at cheap rates just before the rally. It has happened to me in XRP, ETH, ETC, BNB and in Doge but it cannot be matched with your million dollar donation  . I know a few who gambled off more than your donated money but i am smart enough to stay away from those madness but it is all about the thrill of looking back and now you can proudly say that you donated millions in today's money for the Bitcoin forum development  .

It was before my time on this forum so I had to check out what it was all about, but now I see that the OP is definitely wrong for its “pizza moment” and some still live in the belief that time erases all sins and mistakes.

No sense in crying over spilled milk, most have taken some wrong steps, which in the end come down to how much money anyone would have today if they hadn't sold or lost some coins - and what is much more important is whether someone has learned a life lesson from it or is still making the same mistakes.

Where have you been? I wish I'd met someone like you back in the days to tell me about BTC... unfortunately I only found out about BTC in 2013 by myself. That's my biggest regret. Of course there are more but sometimes I wish I have joined the train earlier.

I have the impression that you would be happy only if Satoshi Nakamoto called you and allowed you to be among the first miners - so you knew about BTC before at least 80% of active users of this forum at the moment, why so much greed?

It's not greed, it's just regret. I'm happy how it turned out in the end but as a human being I also know it could have been better It's ok no worries, could have been also worse I guess.

It happened for almost everyone to sell their coins last year for a large amount and did not imagine this year would be like this. But don't think too long about the regrets you experience because this can be a great lesson to be more confident with virtual currencies that will surprise you later. I also did the same thing by selling at a time when the price I expected would never go up again. but all my strategies have been broken. I believe there will come a time when the price will fall again in a few days and grow back, that time you should be looking forward to.
