I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

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.

Thanks,
Laszlo

This is an open offer by the way.. I will trade 10,000 BTC for 2 of these pizzas any time as long as I have the funds (I usually have plenty). If anyone is interested please let me know. The exchange is favorable for anyone who does it because the 2 pizzas are only about 25 dollars total, maybe 30 if you give the guy a nice tip. If you get me the upgraded extra large ones or something, I can throw in some more bitcoins, just let me know and we'll work something out.

My 1 year old daughter really enjoys pizza too! She just smears it all over her face if you give her a whole slice, but she does eventually manage to get most of it in her mouth (minus a few loose toppings of course).

As of right now, the 10,000 BTC that paid for those two pizzas in May 2010 are worth about $ 758,535.44.

An amount that could buy 2 pizzas, delivered, in May 2010 is worth more than three-quarter million dollars in today's FRNs, less than three years later.

That's some fuckin' appreciation!

Bitcoin has far outperformed PMs for me and has been a vehicle for completely eliminating my debt. It has done in a relatively short time what these forums has promised me for years PMs would do. These same forums told me Bitcoin was a complete fools' game when I started buying it at <$1USD. Been selling all the way up and have decided to hold what I have (still a few hundred BTC). I see this thing making $1,000USD within a few years (if there still is a USD then). The upside is I still have all those PMs since Bitcoin did the work they couldn't do.

Thanks for the kick in the balls. For someone who didn't even know what a bitcoin was till a few weeks ago I feel like I missed the boat. I suppose I would feel worse if I had took a hard look at them a few years ago and decided they were a scam.

It is disturbing to watch what is going on in Cyprus and PM's are doing jack shit while bitcoin is soaring.

It has a lot to do with manipulation. Bitcoin cannot be manipulated in the same way that silver / gold have been for almost a century now. Open Source, no central issuing authority and each transaction is recorded and verified. It leaves TPTB at a disadvantage.

I understand why they are going up while PM's are stagnant but it doesn't really help me any. Plus I feel like buying into bitcoins now would be foolish. Normally it is wise to wait for a pullback when something has been going parabolic.

I agree, I'm a bit late in getting on the BTC train as far as buying and holding any. I only have 0.5613439 BTC and that's just been from what my graphics card has been able to "mine" in 4 months of mining. So not even a full BTC yet. lol But at current prices it's still worth just a little over 40 dollars.

Something I want to add to my post here. The financial situation is only going to get worse. Europe is imploding, America is not far behind. If we as a specie are to continue. It will require a currency that has no central issuing authority. Taking away someone's ability to manipulate and control it's issuance is a HUGE bonus. Now whether Bitcoin will do that, that's the gamble, as I really have no idea. But it does have the potential. TPTB locked up gold / silver ages ago and manipulate it at will.

My gut tells me BTC's will go higher. My finances and being unemployed just won't allow me to take the risk to go with my gut.

Jesus H Ponce......if I had in bitcoins what I have in silver many American and Zionist poleticians I could buy, in the darkness of this world is good to see a shinning light somewhere in the distance.

I wonder how the Zionist bankers are planning on taking over this new trade way.
