In 2010 Someone Bought A Pizza For 10 000 Bitcoins Today Those Coins Would Be Worth 100 Million

Back then, 10,000 bitcoins were worth around $40, so not a bad deal for the other Bitcoin user who agreed to purchase the pizzas and exchange them for the cyberdough, who reportedly only paid about $25 for the pies. As for whether Hanyecz was happy with the pizzas, or whether he enjoyed the leftovers the next day, these minor details appear to be lost to recent history. “I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire. “If you’re interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.” To reiterate, in 2010, 10,000 Bitcoins had a total value of $40. As of this writing, a SINGLE Bitcoin trades for $11,700. In other words, had that pizza-eater simply used cash and held on to his coins, today he’d be sitting on $100,000,000. That’s $100 million. Not a typo. That would buy around 6.6 million large cheese pizzas from Papa John’s. The exchange is believed to have been the first time bitcoins were used in a real-world financial transaction, and May 22nd is forever known to Bitcoin enthusiasts as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
