I am really looking forward ordering a pizza and getting them delivered by a drone 15 minutes later.

As soon as this happens (5 years? 8 years?) I am pretty sure there will also be a service like silk road using drones and bitcoin as payment to deliver drugs (and probably everything else) to your doorstep a few minutes after ordering it.

Oh great! ;) So I can order a pizza to my GPS coordinates paid with bitcoin from my Android on the beach? That's cool!

Only problem with an anonymous order (hey, of course it should be anonymous!) is that people might want to take the drone instead of the pizza so maybe they will have to parachute the pizza from some altitude :) … oh I love this idea :)

… ok so maybe the drone would not operate 100% automated and the pilot would drop the pizza only some meters away from any person that might want to snatch the drone?

Seems like a really easy way to loose a drone.
