This was a fun post. Lesson is never sell BTC, at least not until it's worth $100k ea.
Yeah i think was a big mistake to use so many bitcoins to buy 2 pizzas because is in the early stages and is 10k lol All depends what is your strategy, if you see more like digital gold you will hold for very long term but you still can use it to take profits and enjoy the "free" money
Here is a good video from the TenX CEO about spending cryptocurrencies.
