This guy accidentally made one of the best investments of all time 🤯📈
In 2009, a young tech student spent $27 on Bitcoin purely for research. No hype. No moon talk. Just curiosity.
Bitcoin was basically worthless back then — fractions of a penny. So he bought 5,000 BTC and forgot about it.
Years went by.
In 2013, Bitcoin started making headlines.
That’s when it clicked: “Wait… didn’t I buy that?”
He searched old files, recovered his wallet, and logged in.
That forgotten $27?
Now worth $886,000.
He cashed out part of it and bought a luxury apartment in Oslo.
And if he had never sold? The same coins today would be worth ~$438 MILLION.
Sometimes the best investments are the ones you forget you made.
