Hanyecz wrote on the Bitcoin Talk forum: “I’ll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a few pizzas.. like perhaps 2 giant ones so I’ve some left over for the subsequent day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You may make the pizza your self and convey it to my home or order it for me from a supply place, however what I’m aiming for is getting meals delivered in trade for bitcoins the place I don’t should order or put together it myself, type of like ordering a ‘breakfast platter’ at a lodge or one thing, they simply carry you one thing to eat and also you’re glad!”
He additional added what toppings he likes: “I like issues like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, and so on.. simply normal stuff no bizarre fish topping or something like that. I additionally like common cheese pizzas which can be cheaper to arrange or in any other case purchase.”
“In case you’re please let me know and we will work out a deal.”
