Davinci Jeremie is one of the world’s most well-known early adopters of cryptocurrency and started investing when BTC was valued at just $1.
But what is the story behind Jeremie and what is his net worth?
Who is Davinci Jeremie?
Davinci Jeremie is a software developer turned cryptocurrency investor and ‘educator’ who predicted the rise of Bitcoin in his 2013 YouTube video: Buy $1 of Bitcoin.
In the video, which now has more than 4 million views, Jeremie said: “For the price of a lottery ticket you can hold Bitcoin for 10 years and become a millionaire.
“It’s time you stop living in fear.
“If it goes to zero you lose $1.

“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 ‘I wish I listened to you back in 2013′.”
In 2011, Jeremie started to mine Bitcoin when it was valued at just $1.
At his peak, he was mining 35 Bitcoins per day.
Jeremie also started mining Namecoin in 2011, which used blockchain technology to show proof of domain name ownership.
In 2012, he transferred his Namecoin to an exchange but on the day he was about to sell the cryptocurrency, the exchange collapsed, with Jeremie losing $2 million in the process.
In 2017, Jeremie released another YouTube video and told Bitcoin holders to take some go their profits.
Shortly after the video was released, the price of Bitcoin plummeted.
By early 2018, Jeremie had halved his portfolio.
Jeremie now devotes his time to educating people about Web 3.0 and cryptocurrency on YouTube and Instagram.
In his YouTube biography, Jeremie writes: “I believe Bitcoin will free humanity from debt slavery.”
What is Davinci Jeremie’s net worth?
Davinci Jeremie has a net worth of $10 million, despite his portfolio, at its peak, holding more than 3,000 Bitcoins plus other cryptocurrencies.
If he’d have sold all 3,000 Bitcoins at the peak of $67,566.83 on November 8, 2021, he would have been worth $202 million.
Jeremie documents his life of luxury to the world through Instagram.
In one image he can be seen enjoying his time at the 7-star Burj Al Arab in Dubai, while in another he’s pictured sitting on the bonnet of a Lamborghini, writing in the caption: “When I was in Miami I rented my first Lambo.”
In other snaps, he can be seen boarding private jets and onboard luxury yachts.
Posing with three women in bikinis on a yacht just off the coast of Mexico, he wrote on Instagram: “A yacht filled with women you know I am down. This was just a taste.”
