In May 2010, developer Laszlo Hanyecz completed what is believed to be the first “real-world” bitcoin transaction by paying 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas.
“I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day,” he wrote on 18 May 2010.
“I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!
“I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.
“If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.”
The pizzas cost $25. The 10,000 bitcoin Hanyecz exchanged for them are worth $113,500,000 (£84,350,435).

Went into aldi when visa went down a couple of weeks ago, the look on peoples faces when they were told they couldn't use a card, you could see the confusion and looks of despair that they would have to trudge to a cash point...

it IS a scary thought though - we tread a very fine line between civilized society and total anarchy. I read a book a while back called (I think) when the lights went out)... 24 hours of no power by 48 hours, riots, murders and total chaos
no wait - I'm getting muddled... must be cause we've just spent a few days in Burnley ;-)
