Some call it the most famous pizza purchase in history: In May 2010, a programmer called Laszlo asked an online forum if anyone would buy him a couple of pies in exchange for 10 000 Bitcoins, an experimental online currency launched in 2009."No weird fish topping or anything like that," he wrote.With each Bitcoin fetching less than a cent at the time, the order was worth about $41. Today, it would be valued at about $1.4m.
It reminds me of futuristic sci-fi movies where you need ‘credits’ for services or products, swiping a device or implant. Who knows, maybe paying by Smartphone with virtual money is our future but yes, it will be ridiculed at first.
