I think that people need to start somewhere. These bitcoin whales just didn't have a pile of bitcoin dropped on their lap. They started small, and worked their way higher.
Either through price appreciation, or reinvestment of dividends/profits back into their accounts to use the power of compound interest.
Yeah, there is no such thing like shortcut in everything, there is no elevator to success, just stairs. So, having this small investment is better than having nothing at all. At least you do know that you have something that you could harvest in the long run. So, If you do have something to invest, then invest it, before it is too late, so you could have more profits, because that is how investing works.
