Two pizzas were bought with $25 worth of Bitcoin in May 2010. The first ever Bitcoin purchase.
Now they're worth $21,000,000.
Mmm pizza..
Bet that pizza shop owner is kicking himself as I'm sure they would have cashed out many moons ago!
I think everyone is kicking themselves for not getting some Bitcoin 7 years ago and holding onto them.. /proxy.php?image=http://www.pic4ever.com/images/L-Angry.gif&hash=22f3439d6b102dd39bcc848b6f7a9f65
I know I am. 7 years ago I'd just started working for the AA, and one of the garages I passed fairly often I noticed said it accepted Bitcoin. Not knowing what Bitcoin was, I googled it and realised it was an "internet currency". I thought "Oh, I don't need that, Paypal is just fine" //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif
Perhaps I got some back in the day and have completely forgotten about it!*

Looks like it's having another run the last few days, almost at £2200 now data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Ethereum doing nicely for me I'm almost up 2 grand on my initial investment! If only the wife appreciated it..
Don't even try to win that discussion data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 My partner has been bugging me to sell my Bitcoins for years, the more I ignore her the better they do data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I think I'm roughly at 15x my initial investment now data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Best thing is chuck a couple grand in and run away for a few years.
Worst thing I ever did was telling her! Her anxiety went through the roof she had visions of me gambling all our (my) savings on Ethereum. I only bought 2 grands worth!
My partner calmed down once we paid our mortgage off last year, until then she was bugging me to sell up and use it towards the house.
I wish I had blown all my savings on Bitcoin, right now I'd be looking to retire! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Instead I was sensible and put most of it in Vanguard funds, that have done well, but not quadrupled in the last year...
