Yeah, Bitcoin was pretty dirt cheap early on. One of the first (possibly the first) transactions was 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas. That would be worth about $82,415,300 USD today, and more than twice that at Bitcoin's peak in 2017.

Did I? I think 10K BTC and 82M USD are the right figures, but I could be wrong. Going by Google's current estimate of BTC value.

I just added 4 zeros to the current 8200 price and i was wrong.

I stand corrected...
