Why I Don’t Diversify and Why That’s the Whole Point

“Diversify.”
That’s the advice everyone gives, but almost no one questions.
Here’s the truth: I don’t diversify.
Not because I’m reckless. But because I’ve done the work. And because I know exactly what I’m betting on.
This isn’t a lack of risk management. It’s the presence of conviction.
Law 1: Diversification Is a Substitute for Understanding
Most people diversify because they don’t actually understand what they’re investing in. So they spread money across everything just in case.
But when you know where the future is headed, spreading your bets is watering down your edge.
I’m not Warren Buffett. But he said it best:
“Diversification is protection against ignorance.”
If you’ve done the work, you don’t need 20 assets.
You need one asset, held with discipline, long enough for the world to catch up.
Law 2: Risk Isn’t About Volatility. It’s About Permanence
People think I’m crazy for going all in on MicroStrategy ($MSTR).
But that’s only because they confuse price movement with actual risk.
$MSTR can drop 40% in a month. It has before. It might again.
That doesn’t scare me. Because my risk isn’t in the price. It’s in the thesis breaking.
And here’s the thesis:
Bitcoin is digital property.
MicroStrategy holds more of it than anyone on Earth.
As the world wakes up, MSTR becomes the ultimate leveraged Bitcoin asset.
That’s not risk. That’s opportunity.
Law 3: Focus Is What Actually Builds Wealth
Every serious wealth story comes back to one word: concentration.
Amazon wasn’t built with 25 product lines.
Buffett didn’t get rich from mutual funds.
Saylor didn’t hedge Bitcoin. He doubled, tripled, and never stopped.
Diversification might protect you from going broke.
But focus is what makes you wealthy.
If you want average returns, follow average advice.
If you want freedom, bet like your freedom depends on it and then never flinch.
My Story: From One Dollar a Day to One Relentless Bet
When I started, I wasn’t investing $50/day like I am now.
I was investing $1/day just trying to build a habit.
Now I DCA into MSTR every market day. Rain or shine. Bull or bear.
Why? Because I’m not building a portfolio. I’m building a life that compounds.
This journey isn’t random.
It’s structured. It’s tracked. And it’s public.
Why Diversification Is Sold So Hard (And What It Covers Up)
Diversification sells because it feels safe.
And safe sells better than smart.
But here’s what they don’t tell you:
Index funds give you exposure, not edge.
Mutual funds diversify to cover liability, not opportunity.
ETFs protect institutions, not you.
I’m not playing that game.
I don’t want safety. I want sovereignty.
Most people diversify because they don’t want to take responsibility.
I concentrate because I do.
The Real Risk Isn’t Concentration. It’s Giving Up Your Conviction
The most dangerous move isn’t going all-in.
It’s going halfway in and then panicking when things drop.
Every time you diversify out of fear, you chip away at your future self.
I built BakoInvest as a media company around my conviction:
A 20-year DCA into MSTR
A blog that hits 3,000 posts
A portfolio that mirrors belief, not fear
I don’t hedge because I don’t flinch.
FAQs I Get (And Why I Don’t Budge)
Q: What if MSTR crashes to zero?
A: Then the entire Bitcoin ecosystem fails, and the dollar is probably next. If that happens, I won’t care about my stock portfolio.
Q: Why not hold a little index fund or ETF just in case?
A: Because then I’d be betting against myself. I don’t play both sides. I play to win.
Q: Isn’t that risky?
A: What’s riskier - betting on a once-in-history asset you understand or trusting a basket of companies you’ve never researched?
✅ Ready to Make Your Own Bet?
I’m not saying you should go all-in on MSTR like I do.
But I am saying you should stop pretending diversification is a plan. It’s not.
A plan looks like this:
✅ Focused asset
✅ Daily system
✅ Long-term mindset
✅ No panic, no flinch

Final Word
I don’t diversify.
Because I know what I believe.
And that belief is backed by research, logic, and time-tested principles.
