Why I’m Still Investing Every Day for 20 Years Even If the Rich Own More of the Asset

Real question from a BakoInvest reader. Is Bitcoin still a rebellion if banks and institutions control most of it?

“If banks and institutions keep accumulating Bitcoin, does that mean the very rich are hijacking the freedom movement? Could their dominance control price direction and kill the original spirit?”


That was the question someone emailed me.


And it’s the exact kind of question I love.


Because it proves people are thinking deeper than the headlines. Beyond price. Beyond hype.


They’re asking what freedom really means now that Bitcoin is held by billionaires, traded by institutions, and praised on Wall Street.


So let’s go all the way in.



Bitcoin Started as Rebellion


When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it wasn’t about profits.


It was a protest.


A decentralized peer to peer currency that said no more bailouts

No more money printers

No more trust in corrupted systems


It was software with teeth. Math with an attitude.


Bitcoin didn’t ask for permission. It asked for proof of work.


That’s why early adopters didn’t care if it was worth 3 cents or 30 dollars. They cared about ownership. Sovereignty. Escape velocity from fiat decay.



But the Rich Started Buying


Fast forward to today.


Wall Street loves Bitcoin

BlackRock filed for a spot ETF

Strategy holds more than half a million BTC

Banks are building crypto desks

Hedge funds are racing for exposure


It’s no longer a secret. It’s no longer a secret club.


So the question becomes:


If the rich own Bitcoin, is it still a rebellion



This Is Where Most People Miss the Point


Bitcoin doesn’t care who owns it. It only cares how it is owned.


The protocol does not treat a billionaire’s wallet differently than a refugee.


You can hold one Satoshi or a hundred thousand. The rules are the same.


No manipulation. No gatekeepers. No inflation switches.


That’s the real rebellion


But that doesn’t mean behavior doesn’t matter.


Because here’s the truth:


If your only strategy is to copy the rich, you’ll never be free. You’ll only be late



Why I Still Buy Strategy Daily Even Now


Bitcoin’s rebellion isn’t over.


But how you participate in it is everything.


That’s why I don’t trade

I don’t speculate

I don’t chase narratives

And I don’t care if the headlines say all time high or bear market incoming


Instead, I’ve created a system that removes emotion entirely and replaces it with discipline


Let me show you what I mean



How My 365 Day Investing System Works


Most investors follow the 252-day Wall Street calendar. Buying only on open market days


I do not


I invented a structure that fills the 113-day gap Wall Street leaves behind


Here’s the system I follow with full automation


  1. I invest 50 dollars per day every market open day, that’s 252 days per year

  2. I invest an additional 100 dollars automatically every Monday to cover the weekend

  3. I invest 50 dollars manually on every market holiday to cover those remaining days


That totals 365 days a year


Every day. No gaps. No guesswork


Over 20 years that adds up to


  • More than 18,000 dollars per year

  • Over 360,000 dollars in total investment

  • Hundreds of shares of Strategy

  • Thousands of proofs of discipline receipts


And yes, I’m documenting every single one at BakoInvest.com



Why I Buy Strategy Not Just Bitcoin


Most people try to trade Bitcoin


I chose to own the company that owns Bitcoin


Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) holds more half million bitcoins and is led by a CEO with a 100-year Bitcoin thesis


This isn’t just exposure. It’s leverage, conviction, and transparency all in one


I’m not saying everyone should buy Strategy


But I am saying this


If Bitcoin is freedom money, Strategy (MSTR) is the ultimate public vehicle for behavior-based exposure



Wall Street Can Own the Supply but Not the Signal


The rich will always chase the next asset


They are not the threat


The real threat is forgetting why Bitcoin mattered in the first place


Not because it’s going up

Not because it’s trendy

Not because institutions say it’s okay now


But because it lets you own something that no one can devalue confiscate or dilute


As long as you behave like a sovereign, Bitcoin is still a rebellion



And That’s Why I’ll Keep Buying


Whether Bitcoin is $20,000 or $200,000

Whether ETFs pump it or suppress it

Whether Wall Street headlines it or ignores it


My strategy does not change


Because the game is no longer price


The game is consistency

Proof

Ownership over time

Screenshot of Robinhood showing automated $50 daily and $100 weekly investments into Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, as part of a 365-day investing system that goes beyond Wall Street’s 252-day calendar.
Automated daily and weekly buys into MSTR. This is the backbone of my 365-day system. But the holidays? That part is manual. Discipline does not need a reminder.

The calendar does not automate holidays. But I do.


That is what makes this system different. While most investors skip the 113 days when the market is closed, I keep going with manual buys every time. It is not about perfection. It is about identity.


I am not following Wall Street’s calendar. I created my own. And as far as I know, I am the first to run a 365-day stock investing system with the same consistency Bitcoin demands.



Want to Build Your Own Conviction System


You don’t need to invest like me to win


But you do need a system that


  • Removes emotion

  • Increases consistency

  • Builds proof over time



👉 You can get started with any app

I use Robinhood for automated daily buys

But Webull, Acorns, Coinbase, and Crypto.com work too


Use what fits. But start. And don’t stop



Follow the Journey


I document MSTR 20-year journey, every update

Every share

Every Saturday


Follow my full journey across


✖️ X Account


This is not a campaign

This is my real life



Final Word



Wall Street can own more Bitcoin


But they cannot own my conviction


Because rebellion was never about who buys the most

It’s about who keeps showing up when no one is watching


And for the next 20 years, I will
