People often underestimate the power of small but consistent investments. If someone had deposited just $5 a month in Bitcoin from their pocket money since 2017, their total investment in nine years would have been about $540, while if someone deposited $5 a week, it would have been about $2160, which the person would never have been able to invest all at once. So this example shows that it is not always necessary to have a large amount to start, but consistency and patience are important.
However, the actual value of Bitcoin will depend on the market price. It is not necessary to invest a large sum of money from the beginning to deposit in Bitcoin. The important thing is to develop a sustainable habit and maintain it over the long term. However, one should never compromise financial stability in order to maintain consistency. It is better to deposit Bitcoin gradually from your own extra money than to invest beyond your means and put yourself in unnecessary financial stress. Long-term success does not depend on how much money you invest today, but on how consistently you can maintain your strategy.
This your example is unreasonable and not encouraging at all, because you're assuming that a person will continue buying $5 btc per week or month for 9 years without increasing the amount at any point. What if the person financial situation improves along the way and he can afford to increase his regular purchases? Obviously your example didn’t consider the possibility of that.
There are folks that start with small amount and become more aggressive as their income improves. Some even buy more bitcoin occasionally during dips while maintaining their regular buying plan. These things can affect how mucj bitcoin one accumulate over the years. That is why I said your example is unreasonable to explain how long term accumulation works for small investors. If you’re making example, it should be realistic and consider how one financial situations can change over time. Because you started with a small amount does not mean you must continue using that same small amount throughout your holding period.
