Lost everything in 2020. Wrote down why I keep going. If you're building your own freedom, you're not alone.

Be careful: "I'll start when I have more money" cost me four years.
I had more money in 2020 than I did in 2025. The one with $300 a week and a schedule is the one that's still standing.

Week 60 recap.
S&P 500: bought Tuesday.
Bitcoin: bought Friday.
Price: down. Plan: unchanged.
Sixty weeks of the boring version.

$300 of BTC. Week 60. Filled at 6:32am while I was asleep.
Fourteen months in and I still haven't made a single decision on a Friday morning.

0.25 of 1.000000.
A quarter of a whole coin, built $300 at a time. No timing, no lump sums.
The climb has one rule: buy every week. Next stop: a whole coin.

60 weeks ago I had 0.0001 BTC. Today, >0.25.
No lump sum, no bottom called, no week skipped. The climb has one rule: buy every week.

Nobody controls Bitcoin's price. Everybody controls their savings rate.
Invest 20% of your income → ~35 years to freedom
40% → ~20 years
50% → ~15 years
Same market. Same returns. The only variable is the gap between what you earn and what you spend.
That gap is the fuel. The buys are just the engine.

0.25+ of 1.000000.
At $300 a week, a whole coin is years away. I'm fine with that. The deadline was never the point.
39
People ask what my exit price is. I don't have one.
My condition is a count, not a price. 2.0 BTC, then the weekly buys start going to the index instead.

I quit my job in 2020 to trade stocks and crypto full time and lost everything.
Now the buy happens at 6:32am while I'm asleep. Same amount, every week. Turns out I was the risky part.

Two assets, two days, two platforms. S&P 500 on Tuesday, Bitcoin on Friday.
Splitting them was the best thing I did. Neither one gets to make me reconsider the other.
32
Week's S&P 500 buy is in.
$299.35 → 0.420 VOO @ $712.74
Ex-dividend is Sep 28, so these shares get paid on the 30th too.
Same amount. Same day. Every week.
37
S&P 500 buy went through this morning. Same amount, same day.
Week 60 of a plan that has never once required an opinion.
25
Bitcoin is down about 30% over the past year. I've bought every Friday through all of it.
Nothing about this week is different. That's the entire design.
37
The hardest week to buy is never the red one. It's the flat one, where nothing is happening and skipping it feels harmless.
Week 60 either way.
30
60 buys in year one. Not one of them was at a price I liked.
The good entries only look good later, and by then you're not buying at them anymore.

Bitcoin is back near $80,000. My average cost is $81,073.
Fourteen months of buying and I'm about even. That's not a failure, it's what averaging into a volatile asset actually looks like.
