This article really just tells the story that when there is a fixed supply of something, and demand increases, price increases of that thing. In some cases people have that thing stored in their attic and forget about it, in which case they get a pleasant surprise that they now can trade it for a greater value than they first purchased it for (assuming there is liquidity in the market).

Granted - the speed of the price increase of Bitcoin is very impressive - other examples from history:

- Man buys $27 of Gold Coins, finds they're now worth $886K

- Man buys $27 of Tulips, finds they're now worth $886K

- Man buys $27 of Railroad shares, finds they're now worth $887K

- Man buys $27 of (insert .com boom company) Shares, finds they're now worth $886K

- Man buy $27 of Beanie Babies, finds they're now worth $886K
