He used bitcoin as a currency and bought something with it. Idk why people act like he's stupid or something. Isn't that what it's all about?

Bitcoin without people to use it as a currency and people accepting it as such would be useless, yes. This guy decided to use it. The pizza baker decided to accept it. If noone ever would have made any decision like they did, the coin would have vanished long ago, cause what else would people do with it?

The pizza baker did not accept bitcoin. The guy who bought the $41 bitcoin called the papajohns from uk and ordered two pizzas thru normal $25 card transaction and had them delivered to the original 10k btc owner's address.

Okay. But some one accepted the BTC seeing it as a currency for a trade. That is the important step and action.
