Bitcoin is infinitely divisible. You can buy $50 of Bitcoin, if you want to invest $50. The "affordability" doesn't enter here.

It's not the affordability, it's the leverage.

A $1 increase on a $1 investment is already a 100% return. And it's much easier to imagine a coin to go from $1 to $2 then it is to go from $20k to $40k.
