Week 27.
Another week. Another $25 invested.
Last week we celebrated an important milestone:
🔥 More than 1,000 HIVE accumulated.
This week, another milestone is getting incredibly close:
₿ 0.001 BTC
The strategy remains exactly the same:
- 80% → VUG (Vanguard Growth ETF)
- 10% → HIVE (Hive blockchain token)
- 10% → BTC (Bitcoin)
Markets move.
Prices change.
The strategy continues.
📆 Strategy Snapshot
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Weekly Investment | $25.00 USD |
| Total Cumulative Investment | $675.00 USD |
| Update Date | 2026-08-11 |
| Objective | Long-term Financial Freedom |
🔹 Asset Prices — 11 August 2026
| Asset | Price (USD) |
|---|---|
| VUG | $88.59 |
| HIVE | $0.04010 |
| BTC | $63,622.00 |
HIVE continues falling, Bitcoin remains relatively stable, and VUG has moved higher.
Three different assets.
Three different behaviors.
One consistent strategy.
💸 Purchases This Week — Week 27
| Asset | Allocation | USD Invested | Unit Price | Quantity Acquired |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VUG | 80% | $20.00 | $88.59 | 0.22576 shares |
| HIVE | 10% | $2.50 | $0.04010 | 62.34 HIVE |
| BTC | 10% | $2.50 | $63,622.00 | 0.00003929 BTC |
| TOTAL | 100% | $25.00 | — | — |
Something interesting happened again with HIVE.
Because the price has fallen to just $0.04010, our regular $2.50 contribution buys more than 62 HIVE.
That is the mechanical advantage of Dollar-Cost Averaging.
📊 Total Holdings After Week 27
| Asset | Holdings Week 26 | Added Week 27 | Total Holdings |

| BTC | 0.00090658 | 0.00003929 | 0.00094587 BTC |
Twenty-seven weeks ago, all three numbers were zero.
Now the portfolio owns:
🟢 More than 6.47 VUG shares
🔴 More than 1,120 HIVE
🟠 Almost 0.001 BTC
💰 Portfolio Value After Week 27

| 📌 TOTAL | $675.00 | $678.93 | +$3.93 | +0.58% |
📈 Back in Positive Territory
This week's numbers tell an interesting story.
HIVE is down more than 33% relative to the capital allocated to it.
Bitcoin is also still below our accumulated cost.
And yet...
🔥 The overall portfolio is profitable again.
Why?
VUG.
Our largest allocation — 80% of every weekly investment — is currently performing strongly enough to compensate for much of the weakness in crypto.
This is exactly why portfolio allocation matters.

📉 Market Insight – Week 27
This week's performance perfectly demonstrates why I chose an 80/10/10 allocation.
VUG is doing most of the heavy lifting.
Meanwhile, the smaller crypto positions provide exposure to assets with potentially higher volatility and upside.
The idea isn't for every asset to perform well simultaneously.
The idea is to create a portfolio where each asset has a role.
🟢 VUG — Core Growth
The foundation of the portfolio.
It receives 80% of every contribution and provides diversified exposure to large U.S. growth companies.
🟠 Bitcoin — Alternative Asset
Only 10% of the portfolio allocation, but exposure to one of the most important digital assets.
🔴 HIVE — High-Risk Experiment
The smallest allocation alongside Bitcoin.
Highly volatile, but deeply connected to the ecosystem where this investment experiment is being documented.
Different risks.
Different opportunities.
One portfolio.
₿ We're Almost at 0.001 BTC!
Current Bitcoin holdings:
0.00094587 BTC
Target:
0.00100000 BTC
Progress:
🔥 94.6% complete
We only need approximately:
0.00005413 BTC
At today's price, that's roughly $3.44 worth of Bitcoin.
With our regular $2.50 weekly BTC contribution, this means something exciting:
🚀 The 0.001 BTC milestone could arrive in approximately two more weekly investments.
No lump sum.
No market timing.
Just $2.50 every week.
🎯 Portfolio Progress

💬 Final Thoughts
"A portfolio doesn't need every asset to win. It needs a strategy that survives when some of them don't."
Twenty-seven weeks.
$675 invested.
More than 1,120 HIVE.
Almost 6.5 VUG shares.
And less than 0.000055 BTC away from our first millibitcoin.
The amounts may still look small.
But that is exactly the point of this experiment.
Financial freedom doesn't begin when you become wealthy.
It begins when investing becomes a habit.
Week 27 complete.
See you in Week 28! 🚀
