After a short pause between updates, we resume our disciplined weekly investment strategy.
No matter the market conditions, the rule remains the same:
- $25 USD invested every week
- 80% → VUG (Vanguard Growth ETF)
- 10% → HIVE (Hive blockchain token)
- 10% → BTC (Bitcoin)
Consistency is the real strategy.
