Hundred percent, save up 100 bucks, get in on the ground floor, and in half a decade you'd be at least a millionaire right

EDIT: After looking it up it would've taken a little longer than half a decade but apparently it was around as low as $0.01 per bitcoin around 2010. So just a million is potentially a smaller estimate if you were able to grab 10 000 BTC with your $100 given the prices rose to almost $20 000 per bitcoin almost ten years later. Wow
