After 25 years, I only have about 1000 USD in active funds left in my account. A few days ago, I saw the neighbor heavy holder bragging again about a certain altcoin about to take off. To be honest, I was tempted. But in the end, I gave up — this time it’s not a lack of courage, but a clear understanding of my risk tolerance.

Instead of dreaming of getting rich overnight, I’d rather take a steady and slow approach. My current strategy is simple: every day, half of the earnings are invested in Bitcoin. Yesterday, I placed another order, with an average price stuck at 0.00005594. Calculating this pace, it would take about 20,000 days to accumulate a full BTC. Sounds pretty frustrating.

But I’ve come to understand — compared to the thrill of chasing quick money and quick losses, what I need more is this kind of certainty. It may seem the most boring, but it might be the best way to survive until the end. I humbly present my most “ordinary” investment route.

I respect this mindset. After 25 years, it's still not easy to see yourself clearly. --- Just accumulate slowly like this, smarter than those who go all-in at once. --- I feel pain just looking at this average price of 0.00005594, but the probability of sticking with it is high. --- When it comes to risk tolerance, it's really much more important than having capital. --- Twenty thousand days? Haha, that’s not possible. Those who can't wait that long would have been liquidated long ago. --- Honestly, the most ordinary approach is often the most sustainable. Your thinking is on point. --- How is the neighbor who heavily invested in the past? Still holding or has he gone all-in on new coins again? --- A $1000 investment plan truly tests your mentality, but surviving with this steady pace is genuinely worth it.

It takes 25 years to reach 1000 USD, how many times does it need to be reset... But on the other hand, giving up on chasing highs is the moment you truly wake up. Consistent dollar-cost averaging may sound boring to death, but it is indeed the strategy that lasts the longest. Saving up for a coin over 20,000 days is slow, but at least it won't be wiped out in a single dream.

My goodness, after 25 years, only 1000u remains, how much patience does that take... Actually, it makes sense. Chasing altcoins is just gambling, and eventually, you'll have to pay it back. But this guy finally realized it; recognizing your own limits is indeed rare. Saving 20,000 days for a coin sounds truly hopeless, but you can't argue with making it to the end—this move is actually much more rational than those who dream of one-shot wins.

It's easy to say, but sticking with it is the real skill. --- After 25 years, reaching 1000U—how much resilience does that take? I'm scared. --- I'm a bit convinced; rather than taking a gamble, it's better to stay steady. --- Dollar-cost averaging into BTC for 20,000 days? Bro, are you planning for retirement? --- Compared to chasing quick money, I'm more afraid of quick losses. This guy has woken up. --- It's better to live and make money even if you're miserable than to go all-in and lose everything.
