Over the past year, a simple experiment was run.
No trading.
No timing.
No indicators.
Bitcoin was purchased every single day.
Top. Bottom. Didn’t matter.
This is the strategy endlessly promoted in crypto circles.
Buy forever.
Never stop.
Never think.
So that’s exactly what was done.
The result? Well it was shocking. And not in a good way.
The Bitcoin “Buy Everyday” experiment is down 20%.
What This Taught Us
We’ve been in crypto long enough to know one thing:
Crypto does not behave like traditional markets.
It doesn’t grind higher.
It surges, then collapses, then disappears for long stretches.
Buying every day sounds disciplined…
But in crypto, it often just means buying a lot of tops.
And crypto has no shortage of tops.
The Forever Portfolio Perspective
This is where the Forever Portfolio matters.
The goal was never to perfectly time Bitcoin.
The goal was never to chase momentum.
And the goal was certainly never to panic.
The Forever Portfolio exists to:
- Embrace volatility
- Survive drawdowns
- Stay positioned for asymmetric upside
Bitcoin is not a trade.
It’s a long-duration bet on monetary disorder, financial repression, and the continued debasement of fiat.
That thesis hasn’t changed.
When Crypto Works (And When It Doesn’t)
Crypto rewards patience.
It works best when:
- Everyone is tired
- Prices are hated
- Narratives have collapsed
As Lord Rothschild famously put it:
Buy when there is blood in the streets.
Crypto always provides blood.
The only question is whether discipline exists when it shows up.
Final Word
So yes.
The Bitcoin position is down 20%.
That’s not ideal.
But it’s not fatal.
And it’s certainly not surprising.
This is what volatility looks like when it’s doing its job.
And in true Rocket2Riches, Forever Portfolio fashion…
We are down 20%.
But…
The buying and hoarding of bitcoin will continue until morale improves.
