I regret ever selling my 40 BTC – Yhemolee

• Nigerian entertainer Yhemolee shared a significant financial regret.
• He previously owned 40 units of Bitcoin (BTC).
• He sold the Bitcoin before its major value increase.

Popular Nigerian entertainer and media personality, Idowu Adeyemi, widely known as Yhemolee, has voiced deep regret over a past cryptocurrency transaction that cost him a massive fortune.

The singer revealed that he was once in possession of 40 units of Bitcoin (BTC). However, he sold off the digital assets long before the cryptocurrency experienced its historic surge in market value.

Reflecting on the move, Yhemolee described the sale as a significant financial oversight. “I regret ever selling my 40 BTC,” he stated, lamenting the missed opportunity to hold the assets until they reached their current high valuation.

The disclosure has triggered widespread discussion across social media platforms. According to reports monitored by NaijaChoice News, many Nigerians are using the entertainer’s experience as a case study for the volatility and long-term potential of the digital asset market.

While some online observers expressed sympathy for the loss of potential billions of Naira, others shared similar stories of exiting the crypto market prematurely. The debate centers on the difficulty of predicting market peaks and the discipline required for long-term investing.

Financial analysts often point to such instances to highlight the “diamond hands” culture in the crypto space, where investors are encouraged to hold assets despite market fluctuations. For many young Nigerians heavily involved in digital trading, Yhemolee’s story serves as a cautionary tale.

Yhemolee joins a growing number of Nigerian public figures who have publicly shared their highs and lows in the world of decentralized finance. His experience underscores the unpredictable nature of wealth creation in the tech-driven economy.

At current market rates, 40 Bitcoin would be valued at several millions of dollars, a figure that highlights the magnitude of the entertainer’s self-described “biggest mistake.“

In todays market ‘1 BTC is $77,949.18 x 40 = $3,117,967.2 converted to naira, currently $1 equals N1,353.32 x $3,117,967.2 = 4,219,607,371.104. If Yhemolee had hold the BTC till today 24th April 2026. He will be having N4,219,607,371.104 → Four billion, two hundred and nineteen million, six hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and seventy-one naira, ten kobo.)

The situation remains a trending topic as fans and investors weigh the lessons learned from the entertainer’s financial history.
