And bitcoin is very far from its historical max
I wonder if Pizza Hut still owns those 10k BTC they bought for the price of two pizzas?
If I remember correctly he traded the BTC to another user who then put the pizzas on his credit card

IIRC, the transaction was between two people; Pizza Hut didn't touch any Bitcoin.
2004, a perl script pizza_party is published allowing to buy pizza from the command line. I think it was even in some distros' package managers for a while.
