Day 84. Share count: 11.72. Portfolio: $5,078.65.


Bitcoin crossed $118,000

MicroStrategy touched $439

And I felt the itch


Sell

Lock in a win

Feel smart for once


But I didn’t

Because I already decided 84 days ago

This journey ends in 20 years, not 20 percent



The Market Tried to Trick Me


When prices spike, it’s not celebration

It’s confusion


Am I doing enough

Should I double down

Should I lock in gains now before they vanish


The better question

Did I already decide who I am


Because if I have to re-decide every time the market moves

I’ve already lost



Week 12 Snapshot


  • Day: 84 of 7,300

  • Total Shares: 11.72

  • Portfolio Value: $5,078.65

  • MSTR Price at Capture: $433.30

  • Average Cost Basis: $379.66

  • Total Return: $628.65 gain (14.13 percent)


Even with a slight pullback

I am still up

But more importantly

I’m still in


Week 12 Screenshot Proof

Week 12 proof. 11.72 shares. 5,078.65 portfolio value. Zero emotion. The 50 dollars per day system stays locked in

No guesswork

No emotions

The automation ran all five trading days this week

The system did the work

I kept the promise

MSTR Portfolio Value Growth from Week 1 to Week 12 shows the steady compounding power of a $50 per day investing strategy.

Here’s how my system works


  • 252 market days x $50 = $12,600 per year

  • 52 Mondays x $100 (to cover weekends) = $5,200

  • 11 holidays x $50 = $550

  • Total: $18,350 per year

  • Already pre-funded $1,500 toward that total


Most people stop at 252

I’m going full 365



 Automation Proof

This is what daily and weekly conviction looks like. 50 dollars every market day, 100 dollars every Monday. No excuses.

If Bitcoin trades every day

So can my conviction



This Week I Wanted Out


It wasn’t logical

It was emotional


Seeing green

Watching others celebrate

Hearing the buzz


Sell now

Reenter later

Play the game


But I’ve seen this movie

Most people sell early

Then spend the next five years waiting to get back in



I Would’ve Sold Last Year


Old me had no anchor

No system

No identity


I chased

I doubted

I restarted again and again


Now I have conviction

I made the decision once

And I keep repeating it

Every market open



The Point Is Not Being Right


It’s being consistent

Because being right once changes nothing

Being consistent changes everything


The day you stop outsourcing your confidence to the market

Is the day you become an owner



You Can Do This Too


I don’t care if you do $1 a day

Or $5

Or $20

Or $50


I care that you automate it

That you remove emotion

That you stay in the game long enough to let time multiply your behavior



Reminder


You are not behind

You are not late

You do not need to be perfect

You need to be consistent

And you need to start
