Bitcoin Skyrocketed 22,000% Since This YouTuber Asked His Followers To Buy It For $1

Davinci Jeremie, a crypto advocate, had anticipated becoming a hero within his community after passionately discussing Bitcoin BTC/USD a decade ago and espousing the benefits of purchasing even just $1 worth of the apex crypto.

What Happened: However, his journey took an unexpected turn as the response from his community did not unfold as he had envisioned.

The backstory revolves around Jeremie’s realization that Bitcoin might serve as a solution to a significant problem. Motivated by this conviction, he created a popular video that gained significant traction.

Rather than being met with gratitude for the valuable insights shared, Jeremie told Cointelegraph, “They thought I was crazy. They actually thought I was losing my mind.”

Jeremie’s message in the video was clear: “Once in a while, something comes along that makes poor people rich because they got it really, really cheap.” He urged viewers to embrace the opportunity, highlighting the long-term potential for Bitcoin to appreciate significantly in value.

Why It Matters: The viral video has garnered 4.3 million views by May 9, 2013, and accumulated 187,000 likes. "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 in 2011 or 2013," the video caption read.

When the video was published on May 9, 2013, Bitcoin closed the day at $113. Fast forward to today, Bitcoin is now trading at $25,756.10, representing a 22,693% increase in value.
