As we see Bitcoin hit $20,000 ATH again, let's remember history
Back on May 22, 2010, BitcoinTalk user Laszlo traded 10,000 BTC for two Pizzas. Today this trade would be worth 192,380,000 USD.
A trade that goes down in history as one of the best deals for one party.
On March 30th, 2010 BitcoinTalk user SmokeTooMuch auctioned off 10,000 BTC for only 50 USD, a discount from the current price at the time of 65 USD. Today this trade would be worth 192,380,000 USD.
Interestingly enough, no one took him up on his offer as he later reflects about it in a German publication.
"Altogether Smoke mined with this equipment ‘significantly more’, as he vaguely comments, than 10,000 bitcoins. For a while he owned one percent of all bitcoins in existence. In 2010, Smoke tried to sell 10,000 bitcoins for a total of $50. Nobody wanted to buy – which was, with hindsight, good for Smoke. ‘I was one of the ones who sold bitcoins and bought things with them when the price was less than a dollar. I don’t regret having done this. Someone had to get the ball rolling."

At the time, Bitcoin price skyrocketed to $8! Today that would be worth 32,704,600 USD instead of the $510 he received.
On April 29, 2011 Twitter user darknes23 sold 100 Bitcoins for $220 and was very happy with the deal. Today, that would be worth 1,922,800 USD.
