Introduction: Investing Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated


Most people think you need thousands of dollars or perfect timing to start building wealth in the stock market. I used to believe that too. But what I’ve discovered is simple:


Wealth isn’t built through hype.

It’s built through habit.


That’s why I’ve committed to one consistent strategy for the next 20 years:

I’m dollar-cost averaging into MicroStrategy (MSTR) — one share at a time.



What Is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?


Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investing method where you invest the same amount of money on a regular schedule — regardless of the stock price.


It removes emotion from the equation.

No guessing the top. No waiting for the perfect dip.


For me, this means investing $50 every single market day into $MSTR, no matter what the chart looks like.



Why I Chose MicroStrategy (MSTR)


There are thousands of stocks to pick from. So why $MSTR?


Here’s why:


  1. Bitcoin Exposure, Without the Wallets


    MicroStrategy holds over 553,555 BTC on its balance sheet. By buying $MSTR, I’m gaining exposure to Bitcoin — but through a publicly traded company.


  2. Conviction-Led Leadership


    Michael Saylor isn’t a typical CEO. He’s a laser-eyed Bitcoiner running a software company like a macro hedge fund. His conviction is unmatched — and that energy matches mine.


  3. Accessibility and Tax Advantages


    I can buy $MSTR through a regular brokerage account. I can use margin. I can hold it in tax-advantaged accounts. And I can track it all publicly — which is key to this journey.



The Power of Focus in a Noisy Market


While most investors chase AI stocks one week and meme coins the next, I’m doing the opposite.


I’m betting on one stock.

Publicly.

For 20 years.


And I’m documenting everything here at BakoInvest.com.


Why? Because I believe the real edge today isn’t speed — it’s clarity and consistency.



What This Looks Like in Practice


Here’s what I do every week:


  • Invest $50/day into $MSTR (on every market open)

  • Share a new blog post every Saturday with screenshots and commentary

  • Update my live tracker (coming Soon) so anyone can follow along

  • Ignore noise and focus on my plan



Whether $MSTR is up or down — I buy.

Whether Bitcoin is hot or cold — I buy.


I’m not here to chase.

I’m here to build.


Isn’t This Risky?


Yes. even Google thinks my strategy is crazy. Read here.

All investing carries risk. But I’d argue spreading yourself too thin is even riskier.


I still own a private, diversified portfolio for my family’s safety. But this public $MSTR journey is about showing the power of discipline, simplicity, and belief in one idea — fully followed through.


Start Your Investing Journey (Even with $5)


If you’re reading this and thinking, “I don’t have a lot of money,” I get it.


I started small too. But consistency beats capital in the beginning. Here are some tools I recommend to get started:

Final Thoughts



I’m not a financial advisor. I’m not a Wall Street insider.


I’m just a man stacking $MSTR one share at a time, with full conviction and a 20-year timeline.


This blog isn’t a get-rich-quick guide.

It’s a get-rich-for-sure (eventually) roadmap.
