My 12-Year Journey: Building Retirement with Crypto
In 2025 I started an experiment: Can you build a retirement fund through systematic cryptocurrency investing? Below is my real portfolio - every coin, every transaction, every dollar invested.
Traditional retirement accounts weren't giving me the returns I hoped for. Cryptocurrency promised something different - high risk, yes, but also potentially life-changing returns. So I decided to document the entire journey publicly, buying crypto consistently month after month, regardless of market conditions.
