§ Preset · From the March 2020 capitulation
$100 a week since the COVID low
On 12 March 2020, bitcoin fell forty per cent in a single day. The pandemic was three weeks old in the West; nobody knew what anything was worth. This run starts the morning after — $100 every Monday, no skipped weeks, no overrides. The strategy has nothing to say about volatility. It buys when the press says the floor is gone, and it buys when bitcoin is at an all-time high. The number you see is what arithmetic does with a six-year horizon and no opinions.
