🚀 My Year-Long Crypto Experiment: Buying $5 Daily (Part 1)

For the past year, I’ve committed to a unique challenge: buying $5 of cryptocurrency every single day. No pumps, no hype—just consistency. The goal? To learn how crypto markets behave and test whether small, steady investments could yield insights (or surprises). After 365 days and 365 coins, here’s what I discovered.

1. The Plan: $5/Day, 365 Coins

I aimed to diversify risk by spreading $5 across a new coin daily. Simple, right? While it felt like a low-stakes way to learn, reality hit hard. Crypto’s volatility and interconnected trends turned this experiment into a rollercoaster.

2. Lesson 1: Crypto’s Wild Volatility

Prices swung wildly—some coins surged 15% in hours, others crashed overnight. My portfolio felt like a pendulum, swinging between euphoria and panic. Even with 365 coins, the entire market often moved in sync, proving diversification alone can’t shield you from systemic drops.

3. Lesson 2: Timing Trumps Consistency

Buying at the same time daily seemed disciplined, but timing mattered more. Some days, I bought peaks; others, I caught dips. Missing market cycles taught me: research and timing are critical. Consistency ≠ optimization.

4. Lesson 3: Knowledge Is Power

Researching each coin daily became my crash course in crypto. I learned to spot innovative projects (real utility!) vs. speculative hype. This knowledge? Priceless—even if my portfolio didn’t always reflect it.

5. Lesson 4: The Emotional Toll

The daily swings were exhausting. Gains fueled excitement; losses sparked frustration. Crypto isn’t just about charts—it’s a mental game. Staying calm amid chaos became my toughest challenge.

6. What’s Next?

In Part 2, I’ll reveal my portfolio’s performance, breakout the top (and worst) coins, and share my next steps. Spoiler: The crypto market humbled me, but the lessons? Worth every penny.

على مدار الثلاثين يومًا الماضية، قفزت برأسي أولاً في تجربة فريدة: شراء عملة مشفرة بقيمة 1 دولار كل ليلة. في البداية، بدا الأمر كأنه مسعى بسيط وغير ضار، لكن هذا الفعل الصغير سرعان ما تحول إلى مغامرة مثيرة وموحية في عالم العملات المشفرة المتقلبة. 🌪️ إليك ما علمتني إياه هذه الرحلة الجامحة حول الاستثمار، والتنوع، والطبيعة غير المتوقعة للعملات المشفرة.
⚠️ فخ الإفراط في التنوع
من الناحية النظرية، بدا توزيع استثمارك على 30 عملة مشفرة مختلفة كخطوة عبقرية. فالتنوع، بعد كل شيء، غالبًا ما يُروج له كطريقة مضمونة لتقليل المخاطر. لكن كما اكتشفت، ليس دائمًا الأفضل.
