If there is anyone who is entitled to waltz around in a t-shirt with the words 'I told you so' emblazoned on it, it's Davinci Jeremie.
He's the bloke who urged people to buy $1 worth of Bitcoin way back in May 2013 - which is a gamble that would have paid off handsomely if you listened to him.
We could have all been living the life of Riley just like Jeremie is if we had taken more notice of his prediction about how well investing in the cryptocurrency could pan out.
The ridiculously rich bloke from Chile, shared a video on YouTube more than a decade ago telling his subscribers that they could potentially become millionaires for the 'price of a lotto ticket'.
"It's just a dollar, get some Bitcoins,' he said in the now notorious clip.

"[If it] goes to nothing, who cares, you only spent a dollar.
"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.'"
Famous last words, eh?
When Jeremie made his forecast 12 years ago, Bitcoin was worth $116.75.
Now, it's value has skyrocketed to more than $70,000, which will have made those who took a chance on the crypto early very, very wealthy.

As we've established, Jeremie is one of those people.
These days, he's living the high life and enjoys holidays in places like Monte Carlo and Dubai, while smugly strolling around in his 'I told you so' t-shirt.
One look at the investor's Instagram will leave you kicking yourself for not braving the Bitcoin world more than a decade ago.
He's swanning around the world on private yachts and planes, while driving flashy cars and continuing to pedal cryptocurrencies online.

Jeremie won't let people forget he was the guy who told us all to take a chance either, as his social media bio's all include a reminder of his claim to fame.
On X and Instagram, it reads: "I told you to buy #Bitcoin for $1 in 2011. Don’t miss it again!"
Speaking to Coin Telegraph in 2023, Jeremie reflected on how his pleas to get people to invest in Bitcoin had gone unheard.
"Once in a while, something comes along that makes poor people rich because they got it really, really cheap,” he said.

"This was one of them. I thought I was gonna be the hero to my community, but no, they thought I was crazy.
"They actually thought I was losing my mind."
