Comment on 12 Years Ago Today, Laszlo Hanzecz Bought 2 Pizzas with 10k Bitcoins

Kinda reminds me of a blockbuster NFL Draft trade, where the Saints traded away all their draft picks for Ricky Williams to Washington, and some analyst later said, "I don't know who handled it worse, the Saints, who recklessly traded away everything for this one player, or Washington, who got all those draft picks and did nothing with them."

What's worse, the guy that bought a pizza with 10k Bitcoin or the pizza shop that squandered the 10k bitcoin?

I don't think the pizza shop received the Bitcoin? Someone else took them and ordered them a pizza using USD.

If anything, the fact that you still can't buy a Domino's in Bitcoin without an assist from a crypto VISA card company shows Bitcoin has failed as a currency

Dominos wouldn't do something that controversial unless there was market proof of people using it successfully as a positive marketing gimmick.

Neither? Bitcoin would never have been worth anything if nobody used it.
