The value was roughly the same at the time, given the price of the crypto asset was $774. <\/p>\n<p>However, the driver reportedly contacted btcbible this week for help on getting the funds into a hot wallet. With Bitcoin\u2019s recent rise to a new all-time high of more than $58,000, the BTC is now worth roughly $400, an increase of more than 7,000% since the pizza was delivered hot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I let the pizza guy choose between $5 in fiat or BTC,&#8221;\u00a0said btcbible. &#8220;Needless to say, he chose wisely. I&#8217;ve responded with instructions on how to import the private key via Electrum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-02\/caf1f2b7-e698-49b9-9651-f47c1f51cd14.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Redditor clarified that they were &#8220;not Bitcoin rich,&#8221; having liquidated the majority of their funds last year to buy a home. The Redditor\u00a0said at the time that the driver &#8220;had heard of bitcoin from the news and grasped the general concept of it&#8221; but was &#8220;obviously still very new to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Reddit post is a reminder of one of the most iconic stories in the crypto space from Bitcoin&#8217;s beginnings. The first documented commercial purchase using BTC was an order for two pizzas in May 2010, when a programmer paid 10,000 BTC \u2014 now worth roughly $580 million \u2014 for a Bitcoin Talk forum user to send him two pies from a Papa John&#8217;s store in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><em>The most recent Reddit post says that btcbible gave the delivery driver 0.05 BTC, or roughly $2,900 at the time of publication. Cointelegraph reached out to the Redditor for comment, but did not receive a reply.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/bitcoin-pizza-all-over-again-delivery-driver-reportedly-cashes-in-on-400-btc-tip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A driver who held $5 in Bitcoin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":113756,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
