A Norwegian student spent $26 on Bitcoin in 2009 and forgot the password. He cracked it 4 years later. His $26 was worth $886,000.
– In 2009 Kristoffer Koch was a 22-year-old student in Norway writing his thesis on encryption and digital privacy.
– He stumbled across Bitcoin while researching. Almost no one outside forums had heard of it.
– He spent 150 Norwegian kroner about $26.60 and bought 5,000 Bitcoin at less than half a cent each.
– Then he forgot about it entirely.
– Four years passed.
– In April 2013 Bitcoin was suddenly everywhere on the news. The price had exploded past $100.
– He vaguely remembered buying some once. He could not find the password.
– He spent weeks trying to crack it.
– When he finally got in he stared at the screen for a long time.
– His 5,000 Bitcoins were now worth $886,000.
– He sold exactly one fifth of them 1,000 coins for around $177,000.
– He used the money to buy an apartment in Toyen, one of Oslo's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
– He kept the other 4,000 Bitcoin.
– He told reporters: "It said I had 5,000 Bitcoin and I just thought oh wow."
– He had written a university thesis on encryption. His reward for understanding it slightly earlier than everyone else was a free apartment.
– The $26.60 he spent in 2009 would be worth over $450 million today.
A Norwegian student forgot he owned Bitcoin. Cracked the password 4 years later, sold a fifth of it, and bought an apartment with the proceeds.
He kept the rest.
You’ve seen and heard about Borussia Dortmund’s famous “Yellow Wall”.
We got access to it during the Signal Iduna Stadium Tour and here’s what I learned about this special place👇
5-year-old girl has pneumonia. Befriends a convict with kidney failure. Donates her kidney to him. Then dies. The convict gets her kidney and walks free. Her grandpa's ghost takes her to heaven. 7.1 on IMDb. The nurse broke HIPAA. I'm still crying. 💔
Amerika’da 15 sene boyunca askeriyede şoförlük yapan ve emekli olduktan sonra olul otobüsü süren Marcus için sıradan bir gün başlamıştı.
Çocukları topladıktan sonra okul yoluna koyuldu. Ancak ön camı kırıp içeri gelen devasa bir taşla neye uğradığını şaşırdı.
Bilincini kaybetme ve başka cisimlerin camdan içeri girmesi ihtimaline karşı frene bastı.
Otobüste tek ciddi yara alan Marcus’un ta kendisiydi.
Ancak çocukların aileleri, hayatı pahasına çocukaları koruyan Marcus’a $500.000 dolar değerinde dava açtı.
Neyse ki Frank Caprio’yu aratmayan bir hakim, Marcus’un yaşanan kazada ölmek üzereyken bile çocukları sağ salim indirebilmek için çabaladığını, bu durumun ceza değil ödül alması gerektiğini söyledi.
Kaldı mı gerçekten böyle hakimler???
A young guy was asked during an interview about his favorite s3x position, and his response got people talking. He said he hasn’t even given the s3x style name yet, but it’s definitely one he enjoys a lot. 😂
