š Market Insight ā Week 23
This week shows once again why diversification matters.
VUG remains the strongest component of the portfolio and continues trading above our average acquisition cost.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains volatile around the $64,000 level, while HIVE continues to trade at relatively low prices.
For a long-term DCA strategy, however, lower prices have another side:
They allow us to accumulate more units with the same amount of money.
This week, just $2.50 added more than 51 HIVE to the portfolio.
The market decides the price.
I decide to keep accumulating.
šÆ Progress Update
After 23 weeks, our holdings have reached:
- ā 5.54997 VUG shares
- ā 890.58 HIVE
- ā 0.00079045 BTC
And some important milestones are getting very close:
šÆ 6 VUG shares
šÆ 1,000 HIVE
šÆ 0.001 BTC
At the current pace, the 1,000 HIVE milestone is now only about 109 HIVE away.
The first full millibitcoin is also getting closer.
š¬ Final Thoughts
"The market controls the price. I control my consistency."
Twenty-three weeks.
$575 invested.
The portfolio has experienced gains, losses, corrections, and recoveries.
But through all of them, one thing has remained constant:
Every week, I own more assets than the week before.
That's the journey.
Small investments.
Long-term vision.
Financial freedom.
See you in Week 24! š
