I found out about #btc pre-pizza day. I think it was still 2009 could’ve been early 2010. It was in San Francisco at a sushi restaurant on Church St. One guy mentioned bitcoin. Then another guy got really excited he knew what it was and I think a 3rd guy might have also known what it was before the dinner. I recall them saying it was the first time any of them had met someone in person who knew about bitcoin. It was a large group of people maybe 20ish people. I happened to sit across from them. I love when people are curious and excited about a topic. So I naturally asked questions and they were like let’s tell her all about it. I remember they were still trying to figure how they could spend it. A guy did offer if I covered the cost of their meal in fiat they would pay me in bitcoin. (If I had been less broke, maybe pizza day would’ve been sushi day.) I can only remember one person for sure who was there. She can’t remember who those guys were any better than I can. It would be interesting to me if I could somehow figure it out. So if this sounds familiar to any early bitcoiners, let me know. If you know any early bitcoiners you want to pass this along to I would appreciate it. 🧡
