Do all these calculations account for the volatility of the market? Like, in 2017 the price reached $20,000 and year later it dipped to $3,600. The goal of stacking sats is to lower the risk of buying at the top and experiencing a crash, and this strategy performs best when the market is bearish or very uncertain. If you just make some linear upward extrapolation into the future, it might be way off the actual results.

They obviously don't. This calculator only counts how much you'll have if you add x$ a day to your balance for x number of years. In reality there's no way that the price of Bitcoin will be 9000 dollars in 5 years. Also if you invest $5 every day the volatility is so high that the next day you could have 4.5 or 5.5.
We also have to talk about the $5 average per day. It look good on paper, but how many of you could keep saving up $150 a month for 5 years. This requires some serious dedication, especially if you're earning less than 1000 a month (most people in the world fall into this group).

There are many ways to accumulate bitcoin, not just buying it from the market. Doing work for a crypto company and getting paid in BTC is one of the most viable way to de-risk and join in the fun

I think it only calculates the current price that you put in the calculator. For example, you say $8,000 in the future, it will calculate your holdings in that price. Why don't you try it? It's pretty easy to understand and it's pretty useful too when you want to be motivated to save dust money. Also, it's not like Bitcoin will stay $8,000 forever according to my prediction, we could potentially reach more than $10,000.

Question: Are you still stacking those sats at the current economic climate?
