Of all the regrets you have in life, not investing in Bitcoin might be up there.
And the man who told everyone to invest back in 2013 is proof that it was a shrewd move.
Davinci Jeremie’s decision certainly paid off for him – and his lavish lifestyle is all the proof you need.

In May 2013, Jeremie told the world to invest in crypto.
At the time, the price of one Bitcoin was $116.75.
But, like with most things, a lot has changed over the past decade.
And while it simply sat there – with many forgetting about, losing track of it or being unable to access it – it’s value’s been accumulating.
And some people are kicking themselves for letting it go for less.
Like this guy who purchased two Papa Johns pizza’s using 10,000 Bitcoin in 2010.
To put that into context – that’s currently worth over $250M+.
While the crypto currency’s value has taken a dip recently to be valued at $30,000 – it’s still a sizeable ROI.
At its 2021 high, one Bitcoin was worth $61,000.
Jeremie’s Twitter bio proudly declares him to be a “Family Man, Programmer, YouTuber, and early Bitcoin adopter”.
Chilean native, Jeremie, is certainly living the high life – quite literally with his private jet.
He’s also been able to invest his returns into an enviable car collection and private yachts.
His social media accounts frequently see him in playgrounds for the one-percenters including Monte Carlo and Dubai.
His financial advice video in 2013 urging everyone to invest has a caption that says it all.
“Look, for the price of lotto ticket you can hold Bitcoin (BTC) for 10 years and become a millionaire,” he said.
“It’s time you stop living in fear. If it goes to zero you lose $1, who cares!!!
“But if I’m right I want all of you to thank me, it will not make me happy if you come back to me in 10 years saying ‘dude, I wish I listened to you back 2011 or 2013’.”
He explains that Bitcoin is a “digital crypto and global money system currency”.
It allows people to send or receive money minus a third party – and trading it is how he continues to make money.
He’s been active on X recently, reassuring investors that the value of Bitcoin will rise again.
“The most common saying of the 21st century will be: ‘I should have bought some Bitcoin when it was cheaper,’” he said in October.
Some of his followers spoke of their regret of not investing.
“I used to watch this guy on YouTube and nearly bought 2,600 bitcoin for £10,” one commented.
“Had my card details in but the server I was buying from kept crashing so I ditched the transaction.”
Hindsight is 20/20.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
