I believe, there are many stories like that today as the crypto users before didn't have any idea that they will see the bitcoin's price this high...
Or that one: also back in 2010, a user auctioned 10,000 Bitcoin, starting bid was 50 USD for all 10,000! And he wrote: 10k BTC are currently worth ~65.50 USD
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92.0Do you know what happened? Nothing, nobody wanted these precious 10,000 BTC.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92.msg865#msg865Auction is over.
Since nobody has made the starting bid, the bitcoins do not change their owner.
Todays value: ~500 million USD
