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.

Bought in 2009, currency's rise in value saw small investment turn into enough to buy an apartment in a wealthy area of Oslo

A guy buying 27 BTC now can be the guy buying a 1 million penthouse in 10 years, but most people will not wait enough to see the fruits of hard work and dedication consistently over time. Thats why very few people make it as long term holders, most will sell before the big price.
