Week 26.
Half a year ago, this portfolio started with a simple commitment:
Invest $25 every single week.
No matter if the market is optimistic or pessimistic, the strategy remains exactly the same:
- 80% → VUG (Vanguard Growth ETF) - 10% → HIVE (Hive blockchain token) - 10% → BTC (Bitcoin)
Today, that discipline has paid off with another milestone.
🔥 We officially own more than 1,000 HIVE!

🏆 Milestone Achieved!
This week we officially surpassed:
✅ 1,000 HIVE
Twenty-six weeks ago, the portfolio owned zero HIVE.
Today, it holds more than one thousand tokens.
That didn't happen because the market suddenly went up.
It happened because the strategy never changed.

📉 Market Insight
This week perfectly illustrates the philosophy behind Dollar-Cost Averaging.
HIVE reached another lower price.
Instead of seeing that as bad news, it allowed me to buy almost 60 additional HIVE with just $2.50.
Meanwhile:
- VUG continues showing resilience. - Bitcoin remains relatively stable around the $64k level. - The portfolio is almost back to break-even despite the weakness in crypto.
Time in the market continues to be more important than timing the market.
