Sure, the more sats we accumulate per week the more the quantity of our Bitcoin starsh increases. That is why we need to keep accumulating because no matter how small it looks compiling starshes the more it becomes reasonable in due time. Most times guys don't value the little starsh they accumulate because it looks small but they forgot that no matter what we do in life we must learn to start small and be consistent and the results there of will speak for it's self. I believe in the theory that states that dream is like a scattered puzzle, the more you are curious and making a step by step process to complete it theore the dream is becoming clearer. And that is how investment is too. You must not need to start big but like by little to succeed.
You are absolutely correct, how one start doesn't really matter what matters the most is how one will end what they started and people who feel discouraged because of how small there investment is/are after all there effort are investors that are not yet ready to grow in life and that is why consistency is very good and powerful because it will help one actualize there goals no matter the trials or challenges, some people fail to remember or understand that nothing good comes easily and whatsoever that comes easily should be seen as a red flag because because that particular thing won't last for long.
I agree with you that there is no guarantee that the future will be good as the past, yet there is a high possibility that the future HODLs more opportunities and chances to succeed than the past. Let's take Bitcoin as a case study, Bitcoin has just being in existence for about 16years or so, and has risen from less than a dollar to around $109k as ATH meaning that it could increase from less than a t currently from $85k as at now to $250k in the Year to come. meaning that in 10 Years time it will increase pass this stage because Bitcoin adoption will increase. Wether we like it or not, any asset you buy now has the potential to make you r in the future because inflation will add liquidity to it.
Naturally or normally the future is supposed to be better than the present and that is everyone's hope and to some extent I think that is just an assumption because we can't tell what the future will look like but yet we hope it will be better and this is one of the reason we have chose or decided to invest in Bitcoin because we believe and hope the future of it will be better than it present now and because of some uncertainty we are also advise to invest with what we can afford to let go so that we don't look frustrated or depressed if anything goes wrong but nothing is going to go wrong.
I disagree with your last two sentence, any asset we buy now doesn't have the potential to make us rich in the future because not all asset should be bought or purchase and not all will experience inflation in the future some are project that are just there to make people waste money so we should be wise while selecting asset to invest on.
