it's now ten times harder

But at least over that 10-year period, you can build your stash, and its value may exceed your expectations. Just imagine, if you don't allocate $30 USD every month, that money might end up in junk stocks or spent on snacks that don't add anything to your life.

Don't think like "this won't make me rich", it doesn't need to be like that, but create a more positive mindset by thinking that the money you have allocated to Bitcoin so far has increased your wealth - not sitting in the bank and losing its value or just wasting it on useless things.

idk if i totally agree that small money is useless because it still beats having your cash rot in a bank account at two percent interest, sure you might not get a lambo from a twenty dollar weekly dca but you will still be way ahead of everyone else in ten years, it is all about perspective and what you consider rich

The issue is all people who believe Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is about getting rich over-night, when it is actually about protecting one's money from inflation and other external factors, like war or government censorship. Even if someone can only afford to save up to 30 bucks a month in Bitcoin then it is perfectly okey, people need to start from somewhere after all, not all people are born to rich parents.

The important thing is people start to invest whatever they can and in assets which are reliable and decentralized like Bitcoin, if they can also invest in stocks, then it is also good, but people from the developing world do not usually have access to American or European stock markets.

Relatively speaking, the future of value sides with BTC, not with Fiat.

And it will become more and more apparent as we go in the said future.

This equals to $360 in 12 months and let's say I am ready to hold for 10years to this time that's $3600 in the next ten years assuming Bitcoin don't appreciate in value, but we all know that's almost impossible.

Same way some one in 2010 would have thought he’s making a mistake investing $20 in the bitcoin is the same way you’re looking at that $360. even is the appreciation might not be  as much as it did between 2010-2025, I still think it’s worth the risk and bitcoin has proofing to be the best in terms of of ROI.

The issue of assuming bitcoin didn’t appreciate should not even come up, everyone knw that bitcoin will always appreciate no matter the bearishness there will be a time that we call bull run and it will stay for a while before the price  changes direction again it keeps reoccurring again like that.

Saying "bitcoin will always appreciate" is a bit absolute but the structural scarcity suggests long-term upward pressure. The bear/bull cycle is a feature not a bug. It washes out weak hands and resets for the next leg up ignoring that pattern is ignoring how Bitcoin has actually behaved for 15 years

I can't help but agree with this, because $20 a week might look small in the present, but if someone keeps doing that for years, it will become a pretty good sum, and then if the price of Bitcoin keeps appreciating over time, the person will have good enough savings in the future, way better than keeping the money in the bank and allowing inflation to make it lose purchasing power over time. It's never a good idea to save all your money in fiat, just keep some of it for emergencies, but always try to buy assets that won't make your money lose value or purchasing power, if you don't go with Bitcoin, go with Gold.

I actually believe that those who are capable enough to DCA into Bitcoin, regardless of the amount being used, are lucky and blessed, because not everyone gets to spare some funds to be invested in Bitcoin every week or even every month, and those who can do it shouldn't leave the opportunity, even if it's only $10, even that will make a difference, because as they say, something is better than nothing, so if you don't do it thinking the amount is too small, you will regret it in the future, for sure.
