$BTC
Kristoffer Koch was writing a thesis on encryption when he decided to buy 5,000 Bitcoins for $27—just out of curiosity. Like most people back then, he didn’t think the digital currency would go anywhere. He forgot about the investment entirely… until four years later, when Bitcoin’s value skyrocketed and he remembered his small purchase.
After digging up his password, he discovered that his $27 had turned into nearly $900,000. Koch used the money to buy a luxury apartment in Oslo, and the story became one of the first viral Bitcoin success tales. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the smallest bets can have unbelievable outcomes. 💰💻
