In 2009, Christopher Koch was writing a master’s thesis on encryption technology at a university in Norway. He came across an unknown virtual currency called Bitcoin and decided to buy 5000 coins for the experiment. At that time, 1 BTC cost $0.03, so Christopher spent only $ 27 on this investment.
What did Christoffer do with his investment? Nothing! He just forgot about it. However, in 2013, bitcoin rose to $150 and all the leading media began to talk about it. Then, after a day spent searching for the right password for his bitcoin wallet, Christopher traded a fifth of his investment for $886,000.
“Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that they would have soared like this,” said Mr. Koch in the Norwegian media. Christopher bought an apartment in Oslo with this money, and it’s possible that he still has 4,000 BTC left, which cost $160 million today.
What’s interesting is Christopher’s girlfriend urged him not to invest in cryptocurrencies, and his peers called bitcoin a “fake” coin.
You also can become a millionaire if you’re joining the crypto train now and forget about that for several years 😄
