Even for myself, I don't target quick profits in the investments I have made because I put in an amount that may be small enough for them but not too small for me. Maybe that's the example where I target investment in the long term so a small increase will not see a profit in my portfolio but at some point in the future I think I will see a larger percentage in profit and that may be decades in the future.

It's quite right as you say because if big investors can buy 2 BTC or 5 BTC at once then they will see quite a profit if the BTC increase is above 5%>. Even if we bought $10 in Bitcoin when the price was $15k and now it is $42k then we have seen quite a significant profit in our investment but that is according to the capital we put down. For the long term, it may not be possible to calculate the increase in the short term because the target could be an investment made for in the next 10 years.

People tend to make the mistake of investing little amount of money into buying Bitcoin and lay their hope on getting huge profit within a limited time frame forgetting the higher amount invested the greater your profits.
The DCA has made it very easier for small investors to venture into the market and still make profit, despite the DCA approach being a long term strategy but you don't blame oneself as not being efficient enough to buy in bulk. Of a truth the market is most favorable to whales as a 10% up in price is already giving them good profits per what they invested.

Every investor should invest according to what will not have a negative impact on their finance and disrupt their daily life. No amount invested in Bitcoin is small as per say it all depends on what you can afford. Moreover Bitcoin has the ability of transforming whatever amount invested into 2x, 3x 4x etc. Instead of waiting for when big money will come to start investing in Bitcoin and miss out due to procastnation it is better to start now and invest any amount no matter how small it may be.

That is what @Obim is trying to say; he is not disputing the fact that an investor needs to cut his soap according to his size and buy what he can affect. It is obvious that an investor with a total portfolio of bitcoin worth $10k, if held for the long term and there has been an increase in the price, will not be expecting the same amount of profit as an investor who made an investment of $100k in the same period. As much as an investment is low, we shouldn't expect massive returns unless the investment is high.

And we shouldn't be propelled by ROI; that may now be a criteria to make us invest aggressively, thereby neglecting other needs. It would affect those who have families, unless there are single people who can aggressively buy bitcoin sometimes and adjust their monthly expenses to the little amount left. At least they can handle it since they are still single any consequences would be managed all alone
