What if you accidentally became a millionaire… because you completely forgot about your early Bitcoin? Back in 2009, Norwegian student Kristoffer Koch spent just $27 on Bitcoin while writing his thesis on encryption. He bought 5,000 BTC… and then forgot about the wallet for years. When he finally checked it in 2013, those coins were worth around $850,000. He still holds most of them today - and at current prices, that 5,000 BTC is worth well over $300 million. The ultimate forgotten wallet story.
