$1.1 Billion for Two Pizzas? Historic Bitcoin Purchase Turns 15

Now, let’s pause for a moment. Imagine being the guy who accepted that offer. Jeremy Sturdivant, a sprightly 19-year-old student from California, took the plunge. He probably thought he was making the deal of a lifetime, blissfully unaware that he was about to become a footnote in the annals of cryptocurrency history.
