Norwegian man’s forgotten $27 investment in Bitcoin now worth $886,000

A Norwegian man bought $27 worth of Bitcoins back in 2009 and promptly forgot all about them. As the cryptocurrency became more popular, he was reminded of his minuscule electronic nest egg. After inspecting the contents of his Bitcoin wallet, Kristoffer Koch realized his initial $27 investment was now worth an incredible $886,000.

I never forget my investments/deposits. I am always in need of money

I just took out the last 10000 Rs (100 $) from my bank account.

But I wish I could have the same luck and some day I am Millionaire.

Why do these things always happen to wrong people (read: all others) but never to those who really deserves them (read: me)!

In 2009 bitcoin rates changed a lot, up and down but 0.06 USD was the low price at the exchanges. $27 worth of .06 btc's is $90,000 today. Good story none the less. If I started mining sooner I would have 720 coins instead of 72

nice to hear of someone doing well out of a fluke, just a shame it was'nt me.

Everybody who does well has done so out of a fluke, or more often a series of small flukes.

 

[boohbah]

i suppose the word fluke by deffinition means doing well out of a lucky break,
anyhow well done the lucky break guy.

Yep, good for him. You never know, you might buy a lottery ticket on a whim. Chances are ridiculously slim, but someone wins big every time.

many years ago ,i hid in the local post office when i spotted someone walking down the road that i owed money to.
when in the post office i realised there was something going on there was huge queues and lots of chatter ad banter,turned out it was the very first day lottery scratch cards went on sale, there was only one type then , so i joined the queue, paid £1 for one and won £70 , i cashed it in went to the pub where i knew the guy a owed money to was headed and paid him off .
and got blotto
£70 was a fair bit back then, almost half a weeks takehome pay.

sometimes you have to be in the right place, right time .
