The guy is a hero. He did more for Bitcoin than almost anyone other than Bitcoins inventor. He was a major part of Bitcoins beginning.

They should also interview the business who sold the pizza for bitcoin

[saif-al-islam]

Opportunity cost of $800 Million. I knew about bitcoin back then too but didn't buy. Am I gonna worry about it? Nahhh. Terrible way to live.

[Pennystockid]

Thinking like that is not really good for anybody.

[mrantihippie]

He has already stated he has no regrets. To me, he has cemented his name in history more than any commenting ever will.

[unggoymuffin]

This is got to be the saddest story from a funny title like that

[davidsi]

This guy should be in commericals for that pizza company! His transaction was very popular and the pizza company should use it.

[rabbitphobia]

Well to be honest this story makes me feel better about my past bad money transactions.

[trevorleeoakley]

One man dumped a PC with BTC keys - now worth 80M USD - he spent years looking in dumps for that PC.

[KSPravin]

A true legend who still stands for the quotation, "Money can't buy happiness."

[MyNegativeCreep]

He probably has still X bitcoins. A believer of the first day. Great dude!

[Bk_sk]

This man is going to think about what could have been for years.

[thehifiguy]

"Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat and think to yourself, man, I could've had $800, 000, 000 if I didn't order those pizzas?"

"I think thinking like that is not really good for me..."

Translation: I've been near suicide ever since and try to just think happy thoughts about my 40k annual salary as a software engineer whenever the darkness starts to creep in... 😆

[alltogethernow]

Poor guy, it's a tough position to be in

[xrpbold]

Guys please dont ask this question to him, i know what he feel, he can become werewolf in a seconds if he imagined what had happened with the bitcoins he spent.

[ObiJohnKenobi]

He might not be rich, but he is like the first person who actually used bitcoin as money. That counts for something.

[BlizzardPeak]

Here’s the thing. You can’t regret it. Like right now I have 500 stellar lumens, and there worth 5 cents each, sure I could use like 200 and buy a pizza. Because that’s what it’s worth. Who knows what it will be worth a decade from now. Maybe 0 maybe $1, 000 a lumen. It’s all unpredictable.
That being said if I want pizza I’m using USD not crypto lol.

[avrahamavraham]

He didn’t spend 800 million he spend few $

[Genesismining_official]

It was great having you at our facilities. We are curious to see the final result!

[JianAwe]

you are a legend to the mass adoption of BTC to the world on this earth...
