I had some dust in my wallet 4 years ago, today its worth 6000$.

This is interesting because it gives one to think that as the price goes up, what is dust today may be a respectable amount tomorrow, and therefore if one waits instead of trying to solve the dust problem today, one may find that the problem has solved itself.

One might. But what is exactly the problem in having low ammounts of coin in a wallet adress?Is there a real issue impending from it or just ones OCD.

The problem is that if you want to spend those low amounts you are going to pay a lot of money in fees. For this it is often worthwhile to consolidate them into an input when the fees are low as explained in the following thread:
