Don't get hung up on the "1 BTC" requirement, if that's what you are worried about. If you are only interested in speculating by buying and holding, you can put any amount of USD in that you want. .001BTC is going to jump/drop just as much as 100.0 BTC will, in terms of percentage. Lots of places are switching their units to mBTC (.001BTC) now because so many people have this weird mental block. You can currently buy 1mBTC for 90cents!
