Bitcoin-Only: The Strategy That Outperforms Most Portfolios

First strategy out of three.

It’s simple. It’s boring. And it works.

If you're overwhelmed by all the narratives in crypto — AI, DePIN, real-world assets, L2s, Meme coins, DeFi 3.whatever, …

You're not alone.

Most investors don’t need a complex Web3 strategy to start building exposure.

They need clarity, confidence, and consistency.

That’s where the Bitcoin-Only Strategy comes in.

⚙️ How It Works

“Buy the dips” — or better, just buy every week.

This strategy focuses entirely on Bitcoin (or 90% BTC + 10% stables).

You set up a recurring buy, walk away, and let time + conviction do the work.

It’s the DCA (dollar-cost averaging) approach, built around the most secure, most recognized asset in crypto.

📊 What the Portfolio Looks Like

  • 100% BTC — for maximum simplicity

  • Or 90% BTC / 10% stables — to buy bigger dips manually

It’s easy to manage. Easy to rebalance. And most importantly, easy to stick to.

🧠 Why It Still Works in 2025

  • BlackRock, Fidelity, States, and almost everyone now hold BTC.

  • JP Morgan accepts BTC as collateral — a chance to borrow house money against Bitcoin, not only my house.

  • It has survived every cycle and come back stronger each time.

  • Bitcoin ETFs enable a simple vehicle for traditional and institutional investors.

While altcoins can go to zero, Bitcoin is playing the long game — and winning.

✅ Who It’s For

This strategy is perfect for investors who:

  • Prefer simplicity and automation

  • Don’t want to time the market or chase trends

  • Want exposure to crypto without overthinking it

  • Believe in crypto’s long-term upside but want low-maintenance investing

  • Want to hedge against devaluing currencies (USD, EUR, others)

❌ The Downside

We cannot expect 100x on this strategy - not anymore.

It also limits exposure to the broader market, technology, and new narratives.

🛠️ How to Set it Up?

You can automate this strategy in under 15 minutes with almost any Exchange.

  • Open an account with Exchange (such as: Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken)

  • Finish KYC (Know Your Customer) process

  • Fund your account

  • Set up a recurring buy

  • Optional: Hardware wallets — to self-custody once positions grow

Pro Tip: Historically, the best time to buy is Sunday. Pair it with a fear & greed index to time the manual buyings.

🧠 What to Expect

  • Fewer gains than chasing altcoins? Possibly, not in 2024 though...

  • Far less stress, less risk, and fewer mistakes.

  • This strategy historically outperforms 95% of DIY altcoin portfolios over time, just by surviving corrections and sticking to the plan.

When in doubt, remember Mr. Buffett:

The active investors will have their returns diminished by a far greater percentage than will their inactive brethren. That means that the passive group – the "know-nothings" – must win.
