People who invested $1 in Bitcoin in 2013 would have stunning profit today as prices reach all-time high

If only we had a time machine

Another cryptocurrency ceiling has just been smashed, with Bitcoin reaching a record high in 2025. Analysts have been keeping an eye on the industry ever since Donald Trump reentered the White House and vowed to become the first 'crypto President', and although some remained unconvinced by expert predictions for where Bitcoin would go this year, they could soon be eating their words.

The cryptocurrency boom continues, and at the forefront, Bitcoin has just hit a record high of $120,000. President Trump has caused the price of Bitcoin to double since he won the election, with traders claiming his support of crypto is about to open the 'floodgates'.

It's a big week, with Forbes reminding us how the House of Representatives is due to look at three bills that will establish stricter rules for cryptocurrency.

Revisions to the Senate's stablecoin bill include "revised accounting requirements, a provision that would allow for commodity-backed stablecoins, and a language tweak that would require public non-financial companies to get approval from a review committee before they can issue a stablecoin extended to private companies."

Elon Musk has also been pushing the price of Bitcoin higher, and although he and Trump had a spectacular falling out over the latter's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the world's richest man has confirmed his new political party will adopt Bitcoin. When asked whether Musk's America Party will back Bitcoin, the tech billionaire simply wrote: "Fiat is hopeless, so yes."

All this Bitcoin support has turned into a perfect crypto storm, and at the time of writing, it's sitting at a healthy $121,572.70.

If only we'd had the foresight to invest in Bitcoin all those years ago. Perhaps we should've listened to Davinci Jeremie, the Chilean YouTuber, two-time CEO, and early Bitcoin adopter who went viral in 2013 for urging us to invest just $1: "It's just a dollar, get some Bitcoins,' he said in the video. '[If it] goes to nothing, who cares, you only spent a dollar."

"Look for the price of lotto ticket you can hold bitcoin (BTC) for 10 years and become a millionaire it's time you stop living in fear,' he wrote in his video caption. 'If it goes to zero you lose $1 who cares!!!'

Jeremie was on the 'money' with Bitcoin, adding: "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 2011 or 2013."

He's since shown off his extravagant life of private planes and superyachts, regularly sporting a Bitcoin-themed 'I told you so' T-shirt in his videos. If we'd listened to Jeremie all those years ago, what would our $1 be worth now?

According to the 'If I Bought Bitcoin' calculator, if we'd invested $1 on January 1, 2013, we'd own 0.0756 BTC that would now be worth $9,191.56. A 919,155.66% profit is truly astonishing, and we're sure there are many people who are kicking themselves right now. Even for those who didn't invest, there are those who got off the Bitcoin train early and have missed out on some serious profit margins.

Sadly, we don't have a Back to the Future-inspired time machine where we can go back in time and invest $1 in Bitcoin.
