🧱 Stacking Sats

Dollar-cost averaging

DCA = buying a fixed amount on a fixed schedule. $10 every week. $50 every payday. Whatever fits.

• Price high? Your $10 buys fewer sats.
• Price low? Your $10 buys more.

Over time you get the average price — with zero stress, zero charts, zero timing.

Sound familiar? It’s pay yourself first from Pillar 1, pointed at sound money.

Quick check: Why does DCA beat trying to time the market?

1. It guarantees profit
2. It removes emotion and timing — the two things that wreck most investors ✓
3. It’s more exciting

Even professionals fail at timing. DCA converts a prediction game into a discipline game — and discipline is the game you can actually win.

The stoic stack

A market crash terrifies the trader and delights the sat-stacker — the same sats now cost less.

This is the dichotomy of control, fully applied:

• Price? Not yours to control. Ignore it.
• Schedule? Entirely yours. Automate it.

"Confine yourself to the present." — Marcus Aurelius. This week’s stack is the only decision that exists.

Quick check: The price drops 30% the week after you start DCA-ing. The stoic stacker thinks…

1. "I’ve made a terrible mistake — sell!"
2. "Nice — my scheduled buy gets more sats this week." ✓
3. "I must check the price 50 times a day now."

A saver with a decade-long horizon *wants* cheap accumulation. Volatility stops being scary the moment your timeframe outlasts it.
