12 years ago? Hell no. Now I would probably do it for 1/10th that much. It’s easy to look back and say what you would or would not have done, but the truth is that almost nobody would have done this 12 years ago. Bitcoin wasn’t considered valuable. Back then you could have made 2000 BTC telling jokes on this forum… It’s this sort of value transformation that makes Bitcoin an absolutely horrible method of valuation over time.

Almost everyone does it. Long back people hadn't realised the value of bitcoin, and now slowly we're into the realisation. Changing the name is no more a big thing, in my country people are much used to it. 2000BTC isn't a small number.

Once after the purchase of pizza with bitcoin, things started to change. This change have now made an evolution in the financial system. More to happen in the falling days as bitcoin is getting legalized in different countries around the world.

No valuable or reasonable amount of Bitcoin you will give to that will not attract me to change my name, since the payment rate is coming through Bitcoin and i will willingly change my name, because Bitcoin now is the order of the day and their is no average person on earth who doesn't know exactly that Bitcoin is like a hot cake before this it's depreciation in the market, so i believe that Bitcoin is something i believe that will definitely rise from the falling Bitcoin, the stipulated amount mentioned here is much for me to change my name.

That's why 1 Bitcoin is not 1 Bitcoin, because price matters. This phrase is being thrown in bear market to cope with a price loss, but in reality everyone is looking at the price of Bitcoi against USD and base their decisions on that. No one is going to set price in BTC for their goods and services and ignore the change of Bitcoin's value. Even signature campaigns that for years maintained a flat rate had to eventually adjust it when the price became too high.

The price of bitcoin 12 years ago was very low, so I would say no because most of us will decline as someone offers this but there is no value at all, it's like changing your name to old fiat, then I'll give you a million old fiat, which means you can't use it but in the long run it could go to collector items, same with bitcoin as the years pass, the value of bitcoin increasing. But if someone asks you to change your name right now with the current price, a lot of us will surely say yes.

No need to compare 2000BTC then and now. What was the dollar equivalent of in 2011?

Am I willing to change my name for 2000BTC? Well, I don't know. Who is willing to offer this amount?
Now it is a whole wealth, and I am sure that there would be many more applicants than 12 years ago. That's for sure.

This story is really funny which I didn't know about before.

If you’re asking if I’m willing to undergo a change of name and then I’ll be given 2000 bitcoin, ask no further 
I’ll probably undergo a change of name for that much. 2000 bitcoin is a lot! And I would imagine most people(if not all) would definitely undergo a change of name. I know I will.
I think it would take a lot less to get people to change their names. I know folks who would definitely be willing to undergo a change of name for 1btc.

See I would be practical in saying that it was past thing and if the similar opportunity comes down now there would be long queue of people named Bitcoin  as 2000 btc is worth million dollars today.But in the past there were many such instances like getting 5 btc for faucets or spending 10k for two pizzas but now getting some sats is difficult and I am still with my present name.

If I'm getting you right, I think you are saying it wrongly. 1btc is 1btc, and nothing would change it except the people who wish to amend product prices to suit the current evaluation of 1btc. It's like saying; 100 dollars is no longer 100 dollars because it can't buy as many groceries as it did years back. These are just market changes that have no meaning to the status of the currency. If one bitcoin is worth 60k today, you won't expect 1btc not to purchase a product of 60k because 1btc was 16k yesterday. That is why product managers, including the signature managers would have to adjust the price according to the worth. Yet it doesn't change the fact that 1btc = 1btc. People only get confused about this, as everyone is here to make profits out of the volatile nature of bitcoin, which is pegged to the dollar for easy market evaluation. If bitcoin was not pegged to fiat, it would have been a hell of difficulty to make trades, as nobody would be able to understand the bear market and bull market, it would have no volatility in dollar price too, but on product price; in a world where only bitcoin is accepted. How then will people know the actual worth of bitcoin when they want to purchase it with cash? wouldn't it be difficult to determine using products as a determinant? So, Fiat, indeed, is crucial to the existence of bitcoin in determining the worth of 1btc to the market.

Delivering a couple of pizzas for roughly the dollar amount at the time is way different from changing one's name legally to Bitcoin and is much more commitment. The 2 pizzas for 10kBTC was only ridiculous in hindsight, but at the time, it was a reasonable amount for the effort made.

Would I change my name for 2000BTC today, most definitely who would not?
