Even if we go back 9 years, the guy who invested
$10 per week would have invested $4,700 and accumulated 1.35342 BTC, yet the guy who would have had invested
$100 per week would have invested $47k, and accumulated 13.5342. 10x more investment, ends up in 10x more BTC, and surely could end up making pretty big difference in terms of the outcome of whether a guy is getting close to his BTC accumulation targets and/or if the guy who invested more conservatively might have had come to realize that he had been too whimpy in his BTC accumulation practices.
Some guys are able to invest more aggressively than they are doing, but they choose not to do so, and other guys do not have the abilities to invest more aggressively than they are doing, so the level of aggressiveness in regards to ongoing, persistent and consistent weekly BTC accumulation should be tailored to the level of discretionary income and perhaps other factors, like psychological factors of each of the persons.
We also should recognize and appreciate that past BTC performance does not guarantee future BTC performance results, yet if we get 10 years into the future, at that point each of us will be in a position to merely look back at what we levels of BTC that we had ended up accumulating during our previous 10 years, and perhaps we might attempt to compare what we actually had done to some kind of a strict DCA strategy in order to compare our personal results...
Indeed, Bitcoin investment can be quite a roller coaster ride, but as long as one is able to maintain consistency and discipline, then one would surely be successful.
The example you gave above shows just how scaling up some investments can proportionally lead to pretty large returns when one stays consistent and disciplined. But another important thing that may also potentially contribute to the success of an investment is the investor’s ability to be able to tailor out an investment strategy that suits perfectly well with his individual financial goals and situations, as well as their risk tolerance level.
Every investor must have a strategic approach to works well for him and not just following or copying the next investor’s strategy all the time, this is because, some investors may have the luxury of investing more aggressively while others may need to take a more less aggressive approach. There are also certain factors that may potentially influence an investor’s overall decision, such as FOMO, or risk aversion, and how an investor react towards these factors could also be quite different or vary from one person to another.
I totally agree with you past performances may not always guarantee picture success or result. Bitcoin meet me this quite very volatile and can change at anytime and looking to make future decisions based on past actions of the asset all the time could also be misleading. Although this isn’t always the case as it could actually turn out to be quite helpful too sometimes, where an investor compares their personal results to a strict DCA strategy, this could potentially help the investor provide some valuable insights and make some necessary adjustments to make a much more effective and favourable decision concerning their investment in the future.
Finally. It’s of utmost importance for every investor to find a balance between risks and rewards, and like I said previously, being consistent and disciplined with their investments is key as it can actually make all the difference in helping the investor achieve his long term investment goals.
