“BakoInvest quote graphic stating ‘Conviction Beats Diversification — $50/day, one stock, 20 years’ with branded bull logo for long-term investing journey.”
This is the mindset. Conviction over complexity. One stock. One system. Twenty years.

I’m doing the opposite.


I’m putting $50 a day into one stock only — every market day — for 20 straight years.

No trades. No timing. No watching charts. No excuses.


This is my public wealth experiment.

And I’m documenting every step of it — with weekly receipts.



📈 The Challenge: One Stock, $50/Day, 20 Years


I’m not a financial advisor. I’m not a trader. I’m not chasing viral picks.


I’m just one person — starting small, stacking consistently, and proving that conviction beats complexity.


That stock is Strategy (MSTR, formerly MicroStrategy) — because it’s my high-conviction bet on long-term Bitcoin exposure, institutional leverage, and founder skin in the game. If you know, you know.


You can follow along every Saturday when I publish my weekly MSTR update post with:


  • My real share count

  • My current cost basis

  • My weekly performance vs Bitcoin, SPY, QQQ, and gold

  • What I learned that week


No fluff. No theory. Just real investing, documented in public.



🧠 Why I’m Only Showing One Stock


Wall Street wants you to believe you need 30 stocks, multiple funds, and quarterly rebalancing just to “be safe.”


I’m not here to play safe. I’m here to prove that you only need one working system — and mine is $50/day into Strategy (MSTR).


You don’t need complexity to build wealth.

You need conviction you can actually follow — through bear markets, doubt, and distractions.


That’s what this challenge is about.


I’m not trying to be the most diversified guy on the internet.

I’m trying to be the most consistent — and that’s what actually builds wealth.



🔒 What You See Is the System — Nothing Else


Yes — I have a private account. I’ve said that from the beginning. That’s for my family’s safety — and in it, I do what I need to do to build capital privately, including options when it makes sense.


But this challenge?

This is different.


This is not where I play games. This is where I prove a system.


  • $50/day

  • One stock

  • No leverage

  • No other positions shared

  • No switching midstream


I don’t document trades.

I don’t flip between ideas.

I don’t let noise control this challenge.


This is about showing what happens when you go all-in on one strategy — and never flinch.



🧱 Why I Chose Strategy (MSTR)


I didn’t pick MSTR for hype.


I picked it because:


  • It’s the purest long-term Bitcoin exposure on the stock market.

  • It has founder-level skin in the game with Michael Saylor.

  • It uses corporate leverage to amplify upside over decades.

  • It’s volatile enough to scare traders — but that’s what makes it powerful for disciplined investors.


I didn’t want a safe stock.

I wanted a high-conviction challenge.

That’s what MSTR gives me — and that’s what I’m showing the world.


🔁 The Weekly Updates


Every Saturday morning, I publish a new MSTR update:


  • My updated total shares

  • My current cost basis

  • Market comparison: MSTR vs Bitcoin, SPY, QQQ, gold

  • Key lesson from the week


I’m building this brick by brick — and if you follow the updates, you’ll see it happen in real time.


Not theory. Not predictions.

Just pure, public discipline.



🧱 Final Word


This isn’t a stock pick.

This is a conviction play — and a long-term challenge to everything the financial world says is “smart.”


I’m showing what happens when you:


  • Choose one strategy

  • Stick with it for decades

  • And build wealth in public — without hedging, without diversifying, without trying to please the crowd


This isn’t a trend. It’s not a hustle.

It’s a 20-year challenge to prove what’s possible.


And if you’ve ever wondered what it looks like before the world believes in you?


This is it.



This is the full journey. Every Saturday for 20 years.
