(BTC) was officially launched as a virtual currency in January 2009 and today records
However, things weren’t always rosy for the cryptocurrency, at least in the early days when it cost just…a dollar.
At least that’s how Da Vinci Jeremy assessed it, who in 2013 with a YouTube video appealed to everyone to buy Bitcoin for a dollar.
When Jeremy told people to invest in crypto in a YouTube video in May 2013, the price of one Bitcoin per $1 was $116.75.
Along with the video, which has since been shown 5.5. million times, Jeremy wrote: “Look, for the price of a lotto you can hold Bitcoin (BTC) for 10 years and become a millionaire. It’s time to stop living in fear. If it goes to zero, you lose $1, who cares!!! But if I’m right I want you all to thank me, it won’t make me happy if you come back to me in 10 years saying “dude I wish I heard you in 2011 or 2013.”
Chilean-born Jeremy reportedly had more than 3,000 bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies as part of his portfolio, meaning that today, he could be worth over $224 million.
Today she lives a lavish life, from private jets and luxury cars to beach holidays and fancy yachts, with destinations in Dubai and Monte Carlo.
After Trump’s election victory, Jeremy tweeted on X, ex-Twitter: “Let’s make #crypto great again” and “#Bitcoin is going to climb next.”
Among other controversial policies, Trump has pledged to preserve the federal government’s Bitcoin (BTC) reserves, promising to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.”
