While crypto advocate Davinci Jeremie expected to become a hero to his community after talking about Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) (BTC) and why they should buy at least $1 worth of it 10 years ago, things did not turn out as he expected.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Jeremie shared the story of how he found Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) (BTC), what his community thought about it back then, and what he thinks would help onboard more people into Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) .

According to the crypto influencer, it all started over 10 years ago, when a member of his community told him about BTC and asked him to have a look at it. At first glance, Jeremie, who is also a software developer, believed that it was a scam since the double spending problem was “considered to be not solvable.” He explained:
“I said: ‘Okay, I’m gonna read the source code since I’m a software developer, and tell you how it’s a big scam.’ Read the source code, read the white paper and realized: Oh, no. This is not a scam.”
After learning about it and realizing that BTC may be the solution to a huge problem in the monetary system, he made the trending video, asking his community to purchase at least $1 worth of BTC. However, his expectations were a bit different from what happened. While he expected his community to be grateful for the information he shared, they did not respond the way he thought they would.
“Once in a while, something comes along that makes poor people rich because they got it really really cheap. 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,” he said.

While people missed out a lot on that opportunity to buy BTC at that price, Jeremie believes that it’s not too late to get into crypto. According to the influencer, only 2% of the population currently hold Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) and Ether (ETH). However, the problem is that people want to have the whole thing. He explained:
“Everybody wants to have a whole Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) . Nobody wants to go into a store and say: ‘Can I get 1/100,000,000th of an apple?’ They want the whole thing. So, although Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) is divisible, the visibility is part of its Achilles heel.”
The developer suggested that it may be optimal to have a Satoshi-based Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) wallet that shows the balances differently. The software developer believes that showing people that “for a whole dollar you could get a few 100,000 Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) Satoshis” could potentially attract more people. “It’s not as appealing to have that decimal spaces than a whole Bitcoin (
$65,213.00 ) ,” he added.
