Most People Quit Investing in 3 Months I’m Going 20 Years

The market does not reward brilliance. It rewards behavior.


Most people never get rich from investing.

Not because it is too complicated.

Because they quit too early.


They start a Roth IRA.

They buy a few shares.

One dip hits and they panic.


The average new investor gives up in three months.


I am going twenty years.


This is not hype.

Not a marketing gimmick.

It is my real plan. Tracked. Public. Automated.


I invest $50 a day into one asset: MicroStrategy (MSTR).

Every weekday.

For two decades straight.


This post is not about fast money.

It is about permanent wealth.

Built with psychology, simplicity, and conviction.


If you are serious about building real wealth, this may be the most important post you read all year.



The 90 Day Trap vs The 20 Year Ladder


Most investors fall into the same cycle:


  1. Start during a bull run

  2. Watch early gains roll in

  3. A small dip shakes their confidence

  4. They pause contributions

  5. Prices fall more

  6. They panic sell

  7. They never return


Fidelity found that Gen Z trades six times more often than boomers.

More activity. More dopamine. Less staying power.


This is not a knowledge problem.

It is a behavior problem.


And most people never escape it.



What I’m Doing Instead


I stopped trying to time the market.

Instead, I built a no flinch system.


Every weekday, $50 buys MSTR.

I do not check charts.

I do not react to headlines.

I do not care about short term moves.


The rule is simple:


Buy MicroStrategy every market day for 20 years.


That’s it.


I document each week so anyone can verify the journey.


This is not luck.

It is not brilliance.


It is one boring, powerful system built to survive.



Why MicroStrategy


You might wonder why I chose this asset.


Here is the breakdown:


  • MicroStrategy owns over one percent of all Bitcoin

  • It is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world

  • Michael Saylor, the founder, has conviction that does not shake

  • MSTR gives leveraged Bitcoin exposure inside a brokerage

  • The volatility helps if you have the discipline to hold


But this is not really about stock picking.


It is about finding one vehicle you understand deeply, believe in fully, and can hold through every storm.


I am not saying you should buy MSTR.


I am saying conviction makes any vehicle stronger.


The Psychology of Long-Term Wealth



This is the part nobody talks about.


You can have the perfect asset and still fail if your behavior cracks under pressure.


Here is how I train my mind:


  • I detach investing from emotion

  • I embrace boredom

  • I treat the market like gravity. It is always there. It never needs to impress me.

  • I publish even when I am tired, uncertain, or feeling stuck


Motivation fades.

Identity lasts.


I do not need reminders to invest.

It is who I am now.



My Rules for 20 Years


  1. Automate everything: Manual systems break. Automation builds discipline.


  2. Track publicly: Weekly blog updates keep me accountable and transparent.


  3. Ignore the news: The news wants your attention. I want your wealth.


  4. No selling ever: I buy to own. Not to trade.


  5. Treat investing like breathing: This is not optional. It is embedded in my lifestyle.



The Math Behind the Mission


Let’s get specific:


  • $50 per day

  • 5 days per week

  • 52 weeks per year

  • 20 years total


That is $1,000 per month or $12,000 per year.

Over 20 years: $240,000 invested


Now add compounding.


If MSTR averages 12 percent growth per year, that grows into over $1 million.


That is only the financial part.


I am also building:


  • 1,000+ posts

  • A public content library of behavior and discipline

  • A wealth blueprint my children can inherit


That is legacy.

An inspirational digital illustration of a single investor walking up a staircase made of MicroStrategy shares, surrounded by fog and fading charts, symbolizing the long-term journey of building conviction-based wealth. The focus is on discipline, transparency, and the loneliness of the path — not the hype.
Discipline Leaves a Trail. This is what 20 years of public proof looks like. Most people flinch. I post receipts.

What 20 Years Looks Like


Year 1

  • ~50 shares accumulated

  • 52 public weekly updates

  • First mindset reset

  • 150 public receipts of consistency

  • Possibly first bear market survived


Year 5

  • Core belief system unshakable

  • First wave of compounding trust


Year 10


  • $120,000 invested

  • Decade of uninterrupted discipline

  • Content engine firing on all cylinders


Year 20

  • Public proof that wealth is behavior, not hype
