Reply to comment by pomaj46808 in Coinbase to slash 20% of workforce in second major round of job cuts by ChocolateTsar

It started that way. It will end that way. I still remember when the only thing I could buy with bitcoins was weed, sex slaves, and assassins.

Actually IIRC the first public Bitcoin exchange was a pizza.

Back in the early days of Bitcoin (before it was $1) someone paid 20 BTC to someone else to order them a pizza.

It was 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. This was when btc was a fraction of a penny.

Yeah, I was tracking Bitcoin back in those Digg days. Wish I'd mined some then.

But the whole concept seemed stupid at the time. It still seems stupid.
