My Crypto Strategy
My Digital Asset Investment Blueprint
A Personal Framework for Diligent, Faith-Driven Growth
My Foundational Metric: The Total Market
$2.85 Trillion
I see this not just as a number, but as a sign of significant recovery and renewed institutional interest, which validates the long-term potential of this asset class.
My View of the Market Landscape
Observing the 5-Year Growth Cycle
I recognize that the digital asset market moves in clear cycles of growth and correction. My Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy is how I navigate this inherent volatility, allowing me to build my position with discipline rather than emotion, focusing on the positive long-term trend.
How I See Asset Dominance
Bitcoin is the clear cornerstone, but I see the growth in other assets as a sign of a maturing ecosystem. This is why my "Barbell" strategy is crucial: it respects Bitcoin's dominance while leveraging the stability and yield potential of other assets.
My "Satellite" Engine: The Rationale for Bitcoin
My Assessment of Risk vs. Reward
This chart clarifies my core investment thesis. I allocate to Bitcoin and Ethereum for their high growth potential, fully accepting their volatility. I balance this with USDT to ground my portfolio in stability and predictable yield. This two-pronged approach is fundamental to my strategy.
The Halving Cycle: My Timing Catalyst
I view Bitcoin's halving not just as a technical event, but as a predictable catalyst that has historically initiated major bull markets. My profit-taking strategy is timed around the cycles that these events create.
The 2016 Halving
This cycle taught me the power of the halving narrative, leading to the 2017 peak and cementing it as a core part of my analysis.
The 2020 Halving
This event demonstrated resilience, showing that even amidst global uncertainty, institutional adoption could drive the market to new highs. A key lesson in conviction.
The 2024 Halving
The market dynamics have shifted, with a new ATH occurring *before* this halving. This tells me I must remain adaptable, though my core bullish outlook for the cycle remains.
My "Core" Engine: The Rationale for Stablecoins
My Analysis of the Stablecoin Market
I primarily use Tether (USDT) for its unmatched liquidity. However, I am fully aware of the competitive and regulatory landscape, which is why I continually perform due diligence on the platforms where I stake my "Core" position, ensuring its security.
Where I Find Yield
These are the typical yield ranges I look for. I weigh the higher APYs of DeFi protocols against the increased smart contract risk, allocating my capital according to my risk tolerance for that specific investment.
| Platform Type | Typical APY Range |
|---|---|
| Centralized Exchange (CeFi) | 2% - 6% |
| Decentralized (DeFi) Lending | 4% - 10% |
| Liquidity Providing | 5% - 15%+ |
My Strategic Plan in Action
This flowchart is my personal blueprint. It visualizes my "Barbell" strategy, turning my philosophy into a clear, actionable process from how I allocate my capital to how I re-deploy my profits.
START: My Income
I allocate 5% as my "First Fruits"
MY CORE ENGINE (50%)
I DCA into USDT & Stake for Yield
MY SATELLITE ENGINE (50%)
I DCA into BTC for Growth
I MONITOR THE BTC PRICE
Has it surpassed the previous ATH?
I EXECUTE MY HARVEST
I sell my BTC position in 4 phases
I RE-ALLOCATE MY CAPITAL
I reinforce my Core, prepare for the next cycle, or build my other ventures.
