I wouldn't want to be that guy that paid those pizzas.
But, if he paid with 10k btc, he probably had a lot more than that.
I watched an interview with Vitalik Buterin few days ago, where he says that he had a freelance job where he would write an article, and he would get paid 5btc.
That's how he became millionaire.
I wish I wasn't like 14yo back then, and knew about bitcoin.
I actually know one person that sold 50btc few months ago, and is now living off of that.
You and me both. No one could have guessed that bitcoin, trading for factions of pennies would someday be worth $8k (or more).
I remember when I first heard of BTC, and wanted to buy it.
It was around 1000$ and I wanted to buy 0.5btc.
I'm regretting that so much now.
I can't imagine what guys from the earlier stages are feeling for missing out.
When I first heard about BTC I remember thinking, who in their right mind would think that should be valued at $1k. That was back around 2010-2012 area. Then I started to actually look into it a bit...
And when did you get into crypto?
I got in after the dip few months ago.
Btc was around $6k
I believe it was around $1200-$1800 area, in early 2016
Only problem with Bitcoin is that it still makes you a passive watcher compared to Steem where you actually have an effect and can increase the value of the whole system. That will say Steem Blockchain is more win-win than other Cryptocurrencies.
