A man who made a fortune by investing in BTC

Norwegian student Christopher Koch learned about bitcoin while working on his dissertation about encryption.

To gain practical knowledge, he bought about $27 worth of BTC.

It was 2009.

Bitcoin was not even mentioned until 2008, reacting to the global financial crisis.

The money Koch spent was enough for 5,000 tokens.

Christoph told his girlfriend about buying bitcoins, but she wasn't thrilled and gave him a hard time, thinking it was a waste of money.

"She thought I was wasting money on nonsense", — the Norwegian recalls.

After the successful defense of the thesis, real life began with finding a job and household chores.

Bitcoin was not profitable, and Koch forgot about the purchase and moved on with his life.

At the exchange rate, the value of 5,000 bitcoins was 5 million crowns or 885,000 dollars.

Koch, having completed his doctoral studies, did not sell it all at once and retained his millionaire status.

Koch withdrew 1.1 million kroner for the apartment, leaving the rest of the assets to run.

He checked the account daily, watching it grow by 50,000 kroner.

Every day I logged into the online bank and saw that the account had grown. Plus 50,000 kroner, plus 50,000 kroner again", — laughs the Norwegian.

"Even in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that they would soar like this".
