Reminds of 2010 Event
Pope John's branch in the UK announced that they will accept Bitcoin for $ 75 million in 2010, the value of 2 pizzas.

An English Pope John's branch in Manchester's center announced that they would start accepting Bitcoin as a payment option. This has brought about a phenomenon that occurred in the mind of many people in the crypto money community in 2010. Bitcointalk caused a user in the forum site to mention about getting 2 Pope John's pizzas to 10,000 BTC.

The World's Most Expensive Pizza
The two pizzas were purchased for 10,000 BTC in 2010, while the amount of Bitcoin paid was about $ 25 at that time, at the moment it costs $ 75 million. Laszlo Hanyecz ordered the pizzas by paying a person who was a Bitcointalk user like himself. This event was seen as the first opportunity Bitcoin could use to buy physical products. Hanyecz said in a statement he made in the New York Times:

"At that time Bitcoin had no value, so the idea of ​​getting pizza with Bitcoin was amazingly cool. - He did not know that he would grow up. "

Now, the progress of this story seems to depend only on people buying pizza with Bitcoin, then regretting what they did and expressing their regrets with a statement that "I should have bought Bitcoin." A Reddit user made the following admission:

"Since 2012 I bought 7 pizza with Bitcoin. They were all very tasty and I regret all of them. Think again before you spend your crypto money. "DAapzAkXYAEyTDh.jpg
