I highly agree in fact it was a winning moment for the guy with Bitcoin because he is able to produce two pizza in a seemingly worthless virtual coins during those times.  So yeah it really does not make sense to calculate and apply the recent value of Bitcoin today then integrate the thought of how much the Bitcoin owner has paid on the event that happen ways back years ago.

The story of the pizza is a classic of the life of Bitcoin, I will tell you a rather unfortunate story, it is from a friend, the first one who knew about BItcoin before me, in 2009 he always talked about a bitcoin faucet, he commented that even if it were little, in the future it would be very valuable (actually it happened)…. But it happens and it turns out that this individual accumulated 11 bitcoins and for 2017-2018 it was a large amount of money, but life itself is uncertain and a tragedy occurred... the flash drive where my friend had the private keys was damaged, I tried to shave it but it didn't work .. I try to find some other way to enter his wallet .. but nothing, this person invested large amounts of his life time to get those 11 BTC. In today's sun it could be an incredibly millionaire person but the reality is another... A true story to reflect on

I have plenty of stories from a decade ago, just like most of the Legendary users here. None of them can be like the first transaction that Lazslo did or other big stories. They shaped history, touched the lives of many people. Now those stories have become the property of the society, they have a place beyond individual memories. Some new members have a hard time realizing how valuable they are. I'm pretty sure if you spend more time here, these legendary stories will start to interest you more.

Your post helped me remember a point that could have been a funny story that happened to me, which is that compared to the majority of beginners in the 2014 period that started with faucets, I was probably one of the few who started practicing mining using asic machines and spondoolies. That was how I introduced crypto to me, after a friend sent me mining machines to run in my country since the cost of electricity is less and my house at that time was kind of isolated in a way that the sound of the machines did not disturb the neighbours. The funny thing is that I stayed for a long time, thinking that these machines work for banks to conduct transactions between them. Lol  
It took me some time to understand what those machines were doing with their annoying sound, since I'm not a computer specialist at all.

I once read a message posted on FB that was probably written in the early years of bitcoin. Of course it was a short message aimed at convincing everyone to collect as much bitcoin as you can now and you will earn big profits in the future.

I don't know how many people ignored the message and how many people believed in the possibilities that were to come. But the fact is, everyone who has ever read the message will regret the decision to ignore it because bitcoin has gone beyond anything one could have ever imagined. I arrived late in 2018, but I managed to experience how valuable bitcoin is as an investment asset.

About a decade ago I met someone who was big on Bitcoin. I think the price was $200 or something. He sent me some bitcoins to test out. I didn’t really do much with them and me and that individual stopped talking because work got in the way. I asked when he will sell Bitcoin and he said $10000 and I called him crazy.

Then when Bitcoin went to $10000. I wanted to know if he actually sold at $10000 but turns out he sold it all for $600. Feel bad for him since shortly after it breached $10000.

The bad thing about this story is he was completely doxxed including his family since his story was published on popular news outlet before. Even if they are not holding their crypto holdings, They can always be in danger of losing it all once they are threatened by potential robber worst kidnapper. I just hope that they start using their crypto now so that they can enjoy their life changing investment and at the same time to have a better security.

If there is no personal story about Bitcoin yet.. But I read a story of a man who sold all his possessions from his house, and all the things he used in the house in exchange for what he sold, he bought Bitcoin, ultimo He sold his socks just to buy Bitcoin in the belief that its value would increase. I'm not sure what year I heard about this, but maybe between 2013-2016, his story is terrible, he just lives in his tent. For sure someone also knew what I was saying.

It doesn't matter, the reason why all these stories are making a come.back now is because Bitcoin have better value compared to past years a d some sold for a penny while few held as if they knew that Bitcoin is going to beat gold in terms of value one day, I am happy for them and they leave those who sold too earlier in a pot of regrets, I am glad I am not one of them but it's a good lesson to learn something from.

Well, the case of purchasing pizza with Bitcoin is usually the most remarkable event of Bitcoin, which is always recognised and observed by the forum; apart from that, every other event didn't matter much. That's my opinion. Also, there are other little events, like the parents who named their son Bitcoin, the first person to buy a cup of coffee and pay with Bitcoin. Someone who rented an apartment and paid in Bitcoin, but most of these events are not so recognised. For me, I have spent my first Bitcoin to purchase a thing, but it's not been up to a decade.
