Most people try to do everything in one app. I don’t.
I use Robinhood, Webull, and Acorns—on purpose.
Each one plays a specific role in my wealth-building strategy.
This post breaks it down so you can understand not just how I invest—but why I use different tools for different outcomes.
Robinhood – The Public Journey
Robinhood is where I run my $50/day MicroStrategy ($MSTR) challenge—the one I’m documenting publicly for the next 20 years.
It’s clean. It’s fast. It’s simple.
But more than that—it’s the account I show the world.
I post screenshots, weekly updates, and real numbers straight from Robinhood.
This is where I prove my strategy, not just talk about it.
It’s also where I make lump sum MSTR buys during dips—because my share target is massive, and when prices drop, I strike.
Why I use it:
Fractional share investing
Daily automated buys
Lump sum buys during dips
Easy to screenshot and track
Perfect for beginners watching my journey
Webull – The Private Portfolio
Webull is where I build long-term wealth in silence.
I don’t post about it. I don’t share numbers.
I use it to make bigger moves when the market gives me the chance.
If Robinhood is my case study, Webull is my retirement war chest.
I also use Webull to explore options trading and test more aggressive swing trades—privately and quietly.
Why I use it:
Extended trading hours
Cleaner charting tools
Good for options
Private long-term stacking
Acorns – My Behavior Hack
Acorns isn’t a platform I expect to make me rich—but it’s a tool that builds discipline.
I connect it to my debit card and let it round up every transaction.
That spare change gets invested into a basic portfolio automatically.
It’s like a daily reminder that every dollar has a job.
Why I use it:
Forces discipline through automation
Helps new investors start small
Makes use of “wasted” money
Great for testing micro-investing habits
