the amount of bitcoin you would buy would change the market so much that it would never gain the popularity it did and you’d just have upteen million virtual coins.

1,000 bitcoin in January 2016 would cost you $435K. That's 0.0066% of the supply at the time. Hardly enough to alter the popularity. That would be worth $62,000,000 today.

Ideally start mining, that solves the supply issue.
