In May 2010
There was a programmer named Rusler in Florida, USA. Out of curiosity, he participated in the Bitcoin game, which is commonly known as "mining". Since there were very few people participating at the time, it was very easy to mine Bitcoins. .
By May 18, 2010, Rusler already owned more than 10,000 Bitcoins. On this day, he had a sudden idea and decided to try to use the Bitcoins in his hands to buy some real things, so he posted on the Bitcoin forum Made a post.
The general content is that he hopes to use his 10,000 Bitcoins in exchange for two large pizzas, whether they are made by himself or bought from a pizza shop, but he will only pay with Bitcoins. If you are interested, please contact him .
As a result, for three consecutive days, no one paid attention to his post. Rusler considered whether his asking price was too high and no one was willing to exchange. Then he posted another post, this time more direct, simply asking for 50 Sell 10,000 Bitcoins for USD.
Finally, a British man got in touch with him and said that the price he asked for $50 was too high. If Rasler agreed, he would exchange a $25 pizza coupon for the 10,000 bitcoins.
In the end, Rusler accepted the transaction and exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two "Papa John's" pizza coupons. Calculated in this way, the price of 1 Bitcoin at that time should be 0.0025 US dollars, which can be said to be very low value. Now the price of Bitcoin has risen to US$34,000, and the price difference between the two is 13.6 million times. I wonder if Rasler now regrets eating that pizza.
