He's just tryna level out his pizza-cost average.

I believe we need to improve the day to day transactions. Lightning  Network can be the way for that... I am excited!

I heard about this story and wondered if it was true.  I guess if this same guy did it again today, that must be a real person and validates the story.  Cool!

Paying that much for pizza is water under the bridge at this point, but I wonder if people that used their BTC back then kick themselves.  

Either way, a fun story.  Thanks for sharing, cheers.

Thanks for posting this.  Personally, I have been baffled by Bitcoin's success over the years.  While I have come to appreciate blockchain and cutting out the big banks, I do have some concerns about bitcoin specifically.  (And full disclosure, I own a tiny amount of bitcoin and am all about blockchain and cryptos.)

And again, before I go further, trust me I have been there since 2010 and have watched this entire thing explode.  

BUT... I struggle with the identity of Satoshi not being revealed (to me it deflects some accountability.)  

I struggle with speculation in the crypto markets (essentially people with REAL dollars who seemed to convert to bitcoin and speculated the hell out of it.)

I struggle with bitcoin being seen as a financial investment rather than an active currency.

I struggle with understanding how the banks will play a role in all of this without purposely crashing bitcoin (very possible and make no mistake the banks will insist on getting in on this.)

And lastly I struggle with crypto not being attached to any real commodity in the real world (like to gold, but then again I also struggle with the idea of the petro-dollar actually being based on consumer 'sentiment' which is a racket in and of itself.)

So there you go.  With that in mind I of course have opted to come to this platform and participate because I do feel crypto is the future.  Steemit is the future.  Blockchain is the future.  And all for all the good reasons.  

Not meaning to criticize at all, just exploring this topic as I don't know ANYBODY in my personal day- to- day life that understands any of this (no that I do necessarily) so there are limitations for me I totally understand.  Thanks for posting and championing cyrpto; it IS the future.

62$!!! Does that mean the transaction cost was still high or the place expensive?

50K bitcoin , i really hope we see that by the end of this year or the next

that $62 pizza + tips will be like 97.5 million in the future ;)

I hope they were extra large and came with a round of beer for everyone. Wonder if the owners had a slice of the most expensive pie sold to date !

Two pizzas for $62? He must have ordered all the toppings...

Wow! Where did you find this information? The MSM should report this new milestone. We'll see if they do now that we are in the middle of a price winter. Reestemed!

1st one is the best one!!
its too good!!

The reason for the $62 is because of the GBP to USD conversion I swear our pizzas aren’t that expensive :’(

Now to sit back and watch that $62 become 97 MM again :)

awasme....

97.5 million for two pizzas lol.

This is awesome!  I am glad he is still happy to buy pizza with BTC.  I like looking at the 1 trillion market cap perspective.  Not too far away it would seem.

I just saw another post on this earlier...makes me cringe thinking how that man must feel everytime I see it!

Wow! quiet interesting two pizzars for 97.5million, that should have some precious stones included!😀

If it goes up to that Bitcoin price. How many lives could I live eating pizza?

This is a good publicity stunt at the least. ~~64$ though...~~ *Missed the part about 2 pizzas. I pay about 52$ for 2 sheet pizzas (that I pick up myself), so maybe 64$ isn't all that bad - especially if they were delivered.*

Let's hope Lightening keeps going well, I can't help but feel like there's a decent chance it won't (at least not to the big, network saving success everybody seems to think it's going to have).

Thanks for correcting my confusion about pizza and Bitcoin.  Few days ago someone told me about that deal. But the Bitcoin amount was not correct as per him knowledge.
