I always remember this story when I see a thread like this, it gives me hope for bitcoin.
The meteoric rise in bitcoin has meant that within the space of four years, one Norwegian mans $27 investment turned into a forgotten $886,000 windfall.
Every time I hear about the guy who bought an apartment for $27, I think of all the people who bough $1 lotto tickets and became multimillionaires. Inspirational stuff.
