Update

Today my renovation started…

Builders everywhere, deck ripped up, old pool dismantled

Exciting

Really exciting

We’re going to build a home, an asset we can use for decades to come, a place for my kids to feel safe, my wife some stability, and for me a piece of the world to call my own, a true humanistic investment

But, it’s coming at a price…

I decided to keep maximum exposure to Bitcoin

And DCA out as I need funds

The work will be lumpy in terms of payment

Spread out over 6 months

But if I was to pay for the whole thing today, it just got 20% more expensive than when I wrote the last note

This is the Bitcoin journey

The ride

You get both ups and downs

So a question for you friends: how would you play it now given the latest sell off?

- DCA out as you need?
- sell 50% of expected costs?
- sell 100% of expected costs?
How would you allocate?

- 2026
- Feb > June - external renovation
- May > July - internal renovation
- quotes already received
- rough total cost in hand
- invoiced at completion of stage
- paid for with sale of Bitcoin

Do you:

- 1 - DCA out as and when you get invoiced?
- 2 - sell 50% now
- 3 - sell 100% now

Essentially, how do you manage the short-term volatility of Bitcoin, and known fixed costs on the horizon?
