“Bitcoins are the digital, peer-to-peer currency now accepted as payment in bars from Berlin to London and many other stores. They were first introduced in 2008.  A year later, Norwegian engineer Kristoffer Koch bought about $24 worth on a whim.  For years, Koch’s bitcoins sat forgotten in his online account. Then, he started hearing about the increasing value of bitcoins in the media and remembered he’d bought some. One catch — he’d forgotten his password. Luckily, after hours of concentration, it ‘finally came back to him.’  Now, his investment is worth nearly $886,000.”
