If there’s one lesson that’s stuck with me after years in crypto, it’s this: patience pays. Markets will sprint, stall, and sometimes face-plant, but a calm, repeatable process compounds quietly in the background. That’s why my investing style leans long term, and my preferred entry method is dollar-cost averaging (DCA). Not because it’s exciting, but because it works when emotions don’t.
Here’s the simple logic. Timing tops and bottoms is a seductive illusion. Even pros get it wrong. By committing to fixed, periodic buys, weekly or monthly, you convert volatility from a threat into a conveyor belt that delivers you an average cost over time. The more the market swings, the more useful that averaging becomes. I automate this wherever I can, exchange recurring purchases, on-chain scripts, or portfolio trackers that nudge me to stick to the plan. Automation removes the “Should I wait?” debate that wrecks discipline.
This isn’t blind faith. DCA is not a substitute for due diligence, it’s a way to express conviction consistently. I only DCA into assets where I trust the fundamentals and the team’s cadence, shipping updates, community health, treasury transparency, and a roadmap that actually advances. If a project stalls for quarters on end, changes tokenomics haphazardly, or treats communication like an afterthought, that’s a yellow flag, sometimes a red one. Consistent progress is my north star. If they keep building, I keep buying, if not, I reallocate without drama.
What about chasing hype? There’s no prize for being the fastest to every narrative. Most “can’t-miss” moments are just volatility with good marketing. I’d rather be late and right than early and rugged. My edge isn’t speed, it’s standards and consistency.
My playbook is boring on purpose:
- Define a handful of assets I truly understand.
- Automate periodic buys.
- Reassess fundamentals quarterly, not daily.
- Let time and compounding do the heavy lifting.
In a world obsessed with next, I’m focused on through. The goal isn’t to predict every twist, it’s to survive every twist with a process that compounds. Stick to the plan, let automation guard your patience, and let progress, not hype, decide where your capital lives.
