The Crypto Pizza Guy: A Slice of Regret
Back in 2010, Dave was just your average pizza-loving tech nerd. One lazy afternoon, he craved a couple of large Papa John's pizzas but was low on cash. Luckily, he had something new—Bitcoin. “Let’s try this internet money,” he said, typing away. He sent 10,000 BTC (worth about $41 at the time) to a fellow enthusiast in exchange for two glorious, cheesy pies.
Dave devoured the pizzas. Life was good.
Fast forward to 2025: Dave’s sitting at a crypto conference, his name now etched in blockchain history. The host introduces him, not as a tech pioneer, but as “the guy who bought two pizzas for what’s now over $600 million.”
Laughter erupts. Dave grins and pulls out a worn pizza box with “#HODL” scribbled on it. “Best and worst meal of my life,” he jokes. “But hey, someone had to be first.”
The crowd gives him a standing ovation. Dave may have lost a fortune, but he gained legend status.
Moral of the story? Always tip your pizza guy… and maybe HODL just a little longer.
