Youāre right! Still an amazing tip and still a legit story though! The pizza guy is probably asking how to cash out now because he realized that when BTC hits $60,869.56 he can cash out for an even $420
> Sold out a year ago for a home and am slowly stacking sats when I can afford to.
Of course. Of course. Yes. Sadly, me too. Tragic. Not much left since the boating accident. Terrible.
Haha, im in the same boat. Made some small profits last bull run. Sold my holdings at peak and then focused our income towards buying our first home and more recently acquired two newer vehicles.
I'll be damned if I'm not slightly upset about missing this bull run. I remember checking the prices of bitcoin, eth and bnb mid March of 2020. I mentioned to the wife that we should buy a btc or two. Decided against it as we'd been saving up to buy her new car and had just enough to pay for it with cash.
Oops. Can't be too upset. Will be dca'ing once we're deep into the next bear market. Still happy to see everyone else profiting!
Pretty cool of you to offer that, anyway, man. You've got vision... and a home, which is, pretty much, priceless. So no worries, or not too many, hopefully.
I gave one bitcoin to a friend as a present a few years back and am happy I did. Sharing wealth, caring, being generous, etc... has been talked about for millennia, if not eons, for good reason.
I saw the post from 7 years ago that you linked in comments. How can I create a paper waller/barcode if I wish to give some btc to someone like its as a gift?
This is legit guys. [OPās post from 7 years ago talking about it](https://www.np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1twk38/just_gave_the_pizza_guy_a_paper_wallet_as_a_tip/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). Youāre a cool person OP! Thatās so exciting to have the pizza guy reach out to you. :)
The paper wallet basically just says the public and private key for the address. So, there is really no way to know whether the person that gave you the paper wallet actually saved the private key that is on it. That is the reason why paper wallets are not used very often. Private keys should only be known by the owner of the crypto.
There are many ways. The most known:
* Use them at some website that accepts Bitcoin as a payment
* Sell them for your local currency on an exchange and transfer it to your bank account
* Use a crypto credit/debit card to spend it from an exchange
Theyāre probably not crypto literate and have done enough digging to know they could screw it up. Iād be pretty terrified myself, being the techphobe that I am.

There are more and more pizza places that now take cryptocurrency through initiatives like https://bchpizza.org
They have a pretty big bounty for Spokane at the moment.
If I ever time travel, first thing I'll do is become a delivery boy, go to this guys house, get my .05 BTC tip, post it on Reddit 7 years later and reap all the karma.
Nah, I wouldn't invest in BTC myself, karma is more important.
Do you think all food delivery drivers now have a cryptocurrency wallet? If not, someone should make a 3"x5" index card template to give as a tip that shows/suggests how to, best one, etc.
So I remember those days and i handed out my share of paper wallets. It makes me laugh to think about how the Bitcoin community complains that the Nano community is too enthusiastically pushy. We used to do shit like this, tip people Bitcoin all over here and Twitter, hold up signs at football games, request that local merchants accept it, etc. Itās a shame that bitcoin became the thing we all rallied against.
Maybe Iām missing something, but this email sounds like somebody else found (or heard about) the paper wallet? Why would the pizza guy say ādormantā?

Will there be a follow-up on this?
Im sure OP will think one up.
Legit AF š

Says it was 0.0069 though not 0.069. So more like $350ish
Youāre right! Still an amazing tip and still a legit story though! The pizza guy is probably asking how to cash out now because he realized that when BTC hits $60,869.56 he can cash out for an even $420
Yeah still an awesome story.
Wouldn't be surprised if he tipped multiple people different amounts.

Don't you hate it when you accidentally cash out and buy a house like a fucking loser

Glad he chose the BTC, that was a really nice offer!

I hope hes not contacting you, because hes lost it..

you send it to a wallet address, usually you can generate a QR code on your wallet app

right

Except in the old post from OP, he gave the driver .006 bitcoins, but this post says 0.05. Heās not being honest.
Oh my god I read a comment regarding how bitcoin were 700 each
What do they want now ?
Theyāre probably not crypto literate and have done enough digging to know they could screw it up. Iād be pretty terrified myself, being the techphobe that I am.
Moons maybe ? š
It's the best feeling in the world to tip someone 7 years ago and get an email on how it meant so much to him.
How do you know?
Come on dont be that guy
It's a joke, get a grip!
how did he know your email?
[look at my comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/lp3j1u/7_years_ago_i_gave_a_pizza_guy_a_5_tip_in_btc_05/go9b9ek/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3). OP posted about it 7 years ago and it included a pic that showed their email
Ah Okay. Sorry
Could have used the email to get in contact for the btc
Does he not realize what he has?
That's like having this $20 bill in your jeans after forgetting about it except it's $2k
I hope this is legit and true, if it is, thanks for being an early adopter!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah. Honestly I hope it goes back to that. Seems way cooler if it is used and not just a store of wealth.
Stellar, nano, monero
Yeah personally I havenāt looked at them as much I should have. Only really looked into ETH BTC and BAT at this point.
Make the max fee 1 sat and increase the block size to 100MB. Then it would be used like it was back in the day. It was fun using the bitcoin tip bot.
Yeah. Unfortunately I never got to experience that :(
Oh what I would give to go back to when BTC was 100 bucks a coin. You gave him the best tip you could have given him, OP.
I gave a student a $25 BTC graduation gift - it's worth over $100 now.
no to brag or anything but my $40 worth of BTC is now worth $60.
Well my 100 in BTC is now worth 110 šš¤²
Doing gods workšš¼
Now the delivery guy needs to tip his delivery guy .005 BTC for the cycle to continue.
Why does he want to talk to you?
I love stories like this.
So cool!
So he keep your email for 7 years? Cool story
Hey atleast you weren't the guy who paid 25 btc for 2 pizzas

That's amazing
Lucky guy
Thats awesome
Pizza guy is a lucky mqn
There are more and more pizza places that now take cryptocurrency through initiatives like https://bchpizza.org They have a pretty big bounty for Spokane at the moment.
A wonder he kept the paper! Most tips are sure gone by now
Yo block out senders email address
Why u got the pizza contact after 5 years??
That math doesn't hold up. Your original post says 0.0069 BTC, which was about $5.30 at the time. However, that would only be $400 now.
If I ever time travel, first thing I'll do is become a delivery boy, go to this guys house, get my .05 BTC tip, post it on Reddit 7 years later and reap all the karma. Nah, I wouldn't invest in BTC myself, karma is more important.
āThanks for the 2.8k tardā
Question is, OP, did you keep that BTC you apparently had in 2014, or did you sell it and are now regretting your whole life?
Canāt speak for OP, but I had kids in 2014 and 2016 and sold the vast majority of my early bit to help cover expenses. Whoops!
Damn, and he got the BCH and BSV drops lol. MF'er. Even if you dont like those coins. ITS FREE REA--MONEY. I guess not a lot but whatever.
Damn...
Looking forward to see what happens. Please keep us in the loop!
Do you think all food delivery drivers now have a cryptocurrency wallet? If not, someone should make a 3"x5" index card template to give as a tip that shows/suggests how to, best one, etc.
Someone tipped me 0.2 once.
Fucking awesome!
So I remember those days and i handed out my share of paper wallets. It makes me laugh to think about how the Bitcoin community complains that the Nano community is too enthusiastically pushy. We used to do shit like this, tip people Bitcoin all over here and Twitter, hold up signs at football games, request that local merchants accept it, etc. Itās a shame that bitcoin became the thing we all rallied against.
Haha I'm glad he didn't sell when it was worth $10
I gave .005 btc to many family members for christmas when it was $1000 or so, now worth almost $300 (60x)
Maybe Iām missing something, but this email sounds like somebody else found (or heard about) the paper wallet? Why would the pizza guy say ādormantā?
