I’m Not Warren Buffett, But I’m Using the Same Conviction Playbook to Build Wealth My Way

Buffett built quietly. I’m building publicly. The playbook is the same. The vehicle is different.
He Wasn’t Taken Seriously at First
Warren Buffett didn’t move fast.
He didn’t chase hype.
And he wasn’t trying to impress anyone.
He kept buying undervalued companies.
He held them for decades.
He ignored the noise and bet on discipline.
People said he was boring.
That he was out of touch.
That he got lucky.
They were wrong.
Today, he is worth over 100 billion dollars. Still doing what he has always done.
I’m not Warren Buffett.
But I’m using the same conviction playbook to build wealth my way.
They Laughed at Buffett Too
In the early days, Buffett was buying quiet, overlooked businesses.
Cigar butt stocks. Insurance firms. Candy companies.
Wall Street dismissed him.
They thought he was playing small.
Too conservative. Too slow.
But Buffett didn’t need excitement.
He needed time.
And eventually, the world caught up.
I don’t need the world to take me seriously now.
I just need to keep going.
I’m Building Wealth Publicly, One Share at a Time
Here’s my strategy:
I invest $50 every weekday into MicroStrategy (MSTR)
I post weekly updates every Saturday on BakoInvest.com
I do not stop. I do not time. I do not care what the headlines say
This is a 20-year public journey.
No hype. No shortcuts. No guessing.
It’s not about impressing people.
It’s about documenting conviction in real time.

Why MicroStrategy?
MicroStrategy is a software company.
But more importantly, it is a publicly traded Bitcoin vault.
It owns more than half a million Bitcoin and keeps stacking more.
That makes it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world.
While other companies chase trends, MicroStrategy buys digital gold.
It is not just exposure. It is leverage to Bitcoin
It is not just a stock. It is a strategic Bitcoin proxy
It is not just about now. It is about the next 10, 20, 30 years
If I believe in Bitcoin, I believe in the company locking it up the fastest and explaining why it matters.
What Buffett and I Have in Common
On the surface, we are different.
But underneath, the mindset is almost identical.
Conviction Over Consensus
Buffett didn’t follow the crowd.
He followed the numbers.
He didn’t need approval. He had a thesis.
I’m doing the same.
I’m buying MSTR in public while most people whisper about diversification.
We are both comfortable looking wrong now if it means being right later.
Long Term Focus
Buffett’s favorite holding period is forever.
I’ve committed to buying MSTR daily for 20 years.
This isn’t a trade.
It is a documented mission.
Simplicity Over Complexity
Buffett avoids what he doesn’t understand.
He keeps it simple.
No crypto. No speculation. No chaos.
I’m doing the same.
I buy $50 of one stock. That’s it.
Simple is not weak.
Simple is repeatable.
And most people can’t stay consistent long enough to win.
Building in Public
Buffett is known for his transparent shareholder letters.
He explained his thinking and made long-term investing accessible.
I’m doing the same.
Every Saturday, I post what I bought, what I hold, and how many shares I’ve stacked.
That is how you build trust.
By showing, not selling.
“Buffett wrote letters. I write receipts. Every Saturday.”
Where I’m Going Even Harder
I’m not trying to be Buffett.
But here’s where I’m going even harder than he did.
Volatility On Purpose
Buffett bought safe, cash-flowing businesses.
Strong moats. Predictable returns.
I chose a Bitcoin-heavy tech stock that can drop 40 percent in a month or double in a year.
I’m betting on asymmetric upside.
And I’m fine with the swings.
Because the mission outweighs the mood.
Building in Public from Day One
Buffett’s reputation came after decades of success.
His letters were studied after he made billions.
I’m documenting this journey before there is anything impressive to show.
That takes a different kind of courage.
Not because I’m smarter.
Because I’m committed.
Media-Driven Wealth Building
Buffett focused on investing.
I’m focused on investing and storytelling.
I’m building BakoInvest as a digital asset of its own.
Every blog. Every share. Every post.
Because today, attention compounds faster than capital.
Why I Focus on Shares, Not Dollars
Most people track how much they’ve invested.
I track how much I own.
Shares are the new currency.
If you only track dollars, you panic during dips.
But if you’re counting shares, you get excited when prices fall because it is cheaper to stack more.
That is the difference between short-term fear and long-term wealth.
Study: Most retail investors sell at a loss within 90 days.
I’m planning for 7,300 days.
My 365 Day Conviction System
This is a daily system. Not just a market system.
I buy $50 every market day (252 days a year)
I buy $100 every Monday to cover Saturday and Sunday
I manually buy on holidays the market is closed
Bitcoin trades 24/7. So does my conviction.
This is not a gimmick.
It is a behavioral identity system.
The market may close.
But my identity as an investor never does.

10.86 Shares
$4,409.01 Portfolio Value

What If I'm Wrong?
Maybe MSTR doesn’t outperform.
Maybe Bitcoin underdelivers.
But I’m not building my wealth on predictions.
I’m building it on process:
Daily consistency
Public documentation
Ownership over opinions
If I’m wrong, I still own a system that reflects who I chose to become, not what I hoped would happen.
1-Minute Conviction Test
If the market dropped 40 percent tomorrow, would you still invest?
If not, you don’t have conviction.
You have hope.
Start smaller.
Build belief first.
Then scale.
Want to Start Your Own Conviction Strategy?
You don’t need to copy my exact play.
But if you’re ready to start investing with discipline, here are the tools I use:
✅ Robinhood: Where I buy MSTR daily
✅ Webull: My private diversified account
✅ Acorns: Passive investing from spare change
✅ Coinbase: For direct Bitcoin exposure
✅ Crypto.com: For active crypto trades
These are behavioral tools, not just apps.
They make action easier and friction smaller.
Your first investment isn’t about returns.
It’s about identity.

Final Thought
I’m not trying to be Buffett.
But I am trying to do what he did:
Stay consistent
Ignore the noise
Build quietly, patiently, and relentlessly
He was ignored for decades before the world finally caught on.
If that is what it takes for me, I’m in.
Because I’m not trying to look smart.
I’m trying to build something that lasts.
Conviction over everything.
Not hype. Not luck. Not noise.
