For an entire year, I stuck to a simple experiment: buying $5 worth of cryptocurrency every single day. No market timing, no big bets—just consistency. My goal? To see what happens when you dollar-cost average into crypto and whether small, steady investments could add up. Spoiler alert: it was a wild ride.

The Plan: $5 a Day, 365 Days Straight

The idea was simple: invest $5 daily into a different cryptocurrency. I figured this would spread the risk, expose me to a variety of projects, and help me understand the crypto space better. But what I didn’t expect was just how unpredictable and emotional this journey would be.

Crypto Is a Rollercoaster

One of the first things I noticed? Crypto moves fast. One day, I’d see a coin jump 20% in hours. The next, it would tank just as quickly. Watching my portfolio fluctuate daily was both exciting and stressful. Even with hundreds of different coins, the market often moved in sync—when Bitcoin dropped, most others followed.

Diversification Doesn’t Always Work

I assumed spreading my investments across 365 different cryptos would reduce risk. In theory, that makes sense. In reality? When the market was down, nearly everything was down. A few coins surged, but those wins rarely outweighed the losses. It was a harsh lesson: diversification doesn’t always mean safety in crypto.

Timing Matters More Than I Thought

My strategy was set-and-forget—buy at the same time every day, no matter what. But some days, I’d buy right before a crash, and other days, I’d get lucky before a rally. This made me realize that while consistency is key, timing still plays a huge role. A little research before buying could have made a big difference.

The Unexpected Win: Learning the Market

One of the biggest takeaways? The knowledge I gained. Every day, I’d research the coin I was buying—its purpose, team, and long-term vision. Some were innovative, others were pure hype. Over time, I got better at spotting red flags and understanding which projects had real potential.

Crypto Investing Is Emotional

I didn’t expect investing to mess with my emotions so much. Seeing gains felt amazing. Seeing red? Not so much. It’s easy to panic-sell or FOMO-buy, but staying level-headed is crucial. The market swings are brutal, but the real winners are those who stay patient.

What’s Next?

After a year of daily investing, I’ve seen the highs, the lows, and everything in between. In Part 2, I’ll break down my actual portfolio performance—what worked, what flopped, and what I plan to do next.

One thing’s for sure: crypto isn’t for the faint of heart. But if you can handle the volatility and do your research, there’s a lot to learn—and maybe even some gains to be made.
