It's not about following their steps but knowing what you are doing and taking decision to do it. I think op is just trying to use those individuals/groups to serve as a motivation for us and not literally means that we should follow their step. It's empirically impossible to follow their steps because those individuals or groups are influential people who use their resources to accumulate Bitcoin as much as they can and besides majority of them are early adopters when getting bitcoin was like a free thing. Comparing them with an average men makes no sense but you don't need to have resources like them before you start. I think that's what the op is trying to point out in his post. Investing as little as you can using DCA strategy is the best approach to use as an average person when it comes to crypto investment.
