The bitcoins the Norwegian guy bought for the total of $5 in 2009, bought him an apartment in 2014. If kept in fiat, it would have bought him - a sandwich.
This is such an awesome quote

If there was a 5% (1 in 20) chance of a ~450$ passive investment returning $700,000 any time soon every sane person on the planet would be buying in troves
Just because there is an X in Y chance of Z doesn't mean everybody is aware of it. Most regular people still think it is some kind of monopoly money.
(not that I do think it will go to $700K *soon*, but relying on regular people as a signal for Bitcoin is highly misplaced.. as you should know!)
