Yeah, I remember back when I first learned of BTC they were like 10 cents.

The first known BTC transaction for material goods in the real world:

>On a bitcoin forum, he offered 10,000 bitcoins to anybody who would buy him a pizza. Today that’s worth about $5 million at current prices, but back then it was worth about $60. Hanyecz figured that was enough for two pies and compensation for somebody’s time.

He finally found a taker, another coder living in the U.K., who called a Papa John’s in Jacksonville, placed the order, and paid with his credit card. Hanyecz sent over the 10,000 bitcoins, and a somewhat confused deliveryman showed up at his door with two pepperoni pizzas. “Pizza delivery from London,” he said in an unsure voice. Hanyecz left the offer open, and bought several more pies.

The numbers are wrong. It's from 2014.

Today, that would be $498,794,200...

Yeah I know. My oldest son actually had one in a wallet one an HD that crashed some years back and nobody even cared about the lost BTC at the time, just threw it away instead of even trying to retrieve it. How dumb. I told my mom she should gets some too, even ten bucks, but a hundred would be better if she can afford it. And she said she would and never got around to it. Oh well. Things really are damn good in my world without money anyways

Those two pizzas are worth more than I am worth.

I'd forgotten I'd mined any and then there was an article on Slashdot. That reminded me that I'd mined them.

Man... Can you imagine being the person that spent almost a half-billion dollars on two pizzas?

They bought two pizzas. If they'd just held onto them until today, they'd be fucking loaded.

And, yeah, there's a chip shortage going on - among other things. Good GPUs for mining are hard to get.
