If you have some idle money, choose to invest regularly to “stack” coins and hold them. If you don’t have that idle money, don’t act rashly. Even if the idle money goes to zero, it won’t hurt in any meaningful way. Just put aside one or two thousand every month for regular investments; if you have the means, three to five thousand or even thirty to fifty thousand is also fine. But it must be idle money.

Once the trade is completed, take it out immediately. Idle funds don’t affect your day-to-day life at all. Not only will you not lose anything that truly matters—you might even find that successful stacking adds some color to your life. Long-term regular investing of idle funds isn’t about pushing heavy assets into the market. The chance that “the more you play, the poorer you get” is zero.

Nearly all people who lose money are those who trade short term. They need capital turnover. Once their funds get trapped, and their psychological defenses break, they’ll run even if they’re bleeding—commonly referred to as “chives” in crypto slang. The ones who lose are their money. Both the stock market and the crypto world are their graveyards, with very few exceptions.
