In 2009, Norwegian student Kristoffer Koch spent about $27 on Bitcoin for a school project and forgot about it. Four years later he found the wallet was worth roughly $886,000, sold a fifth, and bought an apartment in Oslo. If he kept the remaining coins, they would be worth far more today as Bitcoin's price has climbed dramatically since.

Why now: Bitcoin's surge in value keeps reviving stories of early adopters who became wealthy from tiny forgotten investments.
