The true story of Kristoffer Koch's lucky start: The Man Who Bought 5000 BTC for $27.

In 2009, Norwegian engineer Kristoffer Koch stumbled upon Bitcoin while working on his master's thesis on encryption technology. Out of curiosity, he decided to buy some Bitcoin, spending about 150 Norwegian kroner (approximately 27 US dollars) for 5,000 $BTC. At that time, Bitcoin was virtually worthless and hardly known, so Koch did not think much about his small investment.

For many years, he forgot all about his Bitcoin wallet, as cryptocurrency remained off the radar of mainstream finance. Then, in 2013, when Bitcoin began to attract attention and its price soared, Koch remembered his forgotten investment. Curious, he dug up his old files and found a way to recover the password to his digital wallet.

What surprised him was that the 5,000 Bitcoins he bought for just $27 were now worth over $880,000! Kristoffer was able to withdraw a portion of his Bitcoin assets and used it to buy a luxurious apartment in a high-end area of Oslo. Although he did not sell all of his Bitcoins at that time, he secured financial freedom with what was once a very small and almost forgotten investment...
