They are playing with numbers. In 2010 10,000 bitcoin’s were not “worth” $60,000 each. Bitcoins were under $2 until 2011 while still a lot for a couple of pizzas it was a publicity stunt. What they are saying is if the pizza maker held on to those bitcoin’s they could trade them today for.$60,000 each not $2 bucks or less.

Sure, but $613 million in retrospect is a great example of "coulda, shoulda, woulda."

I’d like to also add that it was people like them actually using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange contributed to Bitcoin’s legitimacy. Crypto investors should look at these people with gratitude, rather than ridicule.
