Week 5: I Bought the Dip—Because One Day, This Price Will Look Laughable

Week 5 of 1,000+ | My 20-Year $MSTR Challenge

This week tested everything—your emotions, your strategy, your belief.

Bitcoin flew past $110,000. Crypto was buzzing. And somehow, Strategy (formerly, MicroStrategy) dropped nearly 9% in the same stretch. From over $420 to under $370. While everyone else waited to “see what happens,” I did what I came here to do:

I bought.

I dropped an extra $500 lump sum on top of my usual $50/day. That’s not some grand flex—it’s discipline. It’s staying true to the plan even when the market’s screaming.

Because the plan isn’t to look smart next week. The plan is to be free in 20 years.

This Week’s Market Snapshot

This is where $MSTR closed at the end of my Week 5 challenge: $366.32. Red week. Bigger conviction. I'm still buying because I'm not here for 5 weeks. I'm here for 20 years.

Bitcoin closed week 5 challenge at $107,837-up nearly 5%. While BTC surged, $MSTR dropped. But I'm not confused. I'm betting on the amplifier, not the echo

Red week. Bigger conviction. I’m still buying—because I’m not here for 5 weeks. I’m here for 20 years.

My Portfolio This Week

This week’s receipts. $50/day stays nonnegotiable—and when $MSTR dipped under $380, I dropped an extra $500. Discipline first. Conviction always.

Here’s where I stand after Week 5: 4.573012 shares of $MSTR, average cost $382.68. Down 4.28%—but still stacking. This isn’t about today. It’s about 20 years.

Visual Share Progress — Week 5

From 0.73 to 4.57 shares in five weeks. $50/day plus a $500 dip buy — this is how conviction scales.

• New shares added (daily $50): 0.13239

• New shares added (lump sum $500 @ $376.29): 1.32876

• Total shares now: 4.573012

• Average cost per share: $382.68

• Market value: $1,675.19

• Total return: –$74.81 (–4.28%)

The Bigger Picture Most People Miss

This is what separates conviction from curiosity. Everyone says they want to buy the dip—until it actually dips. Then they hesitate. They overthink. They let fear lead.

Not me.

I’m not buying dips for the dopamine. I’m buying them because I believe these red days are what create real wealth in the long run. If I can catch just 100 of these moments in my 20-year journey—and I plan to catch way more—this portfolio might outperform every “safe” plan Wall Street tries to sell you.

Not because I’m lucky. Because I’m consistent.

This is how I plan to beat diversification, 401(k)s, and Roth IRAs—one share at a time.

This Week’s Reminder:

My $50/day rule is nonnegotiable.

Even with the lump sum, that base habit doesn’t stop. It’s the foundation. It’s what makes this a system—not a series of emotional trades.

I’m not here to time markets. I’m here to become the kind of investor who never quits.
