August 2023 MBA

In August 2023, I started my MBA journey. People had all kinds of opinions about whether it was worth it, whether I needed it, or whether I should even do it at all — but I took on the challenge while working full-time, and I finished it. When I look back at that moment, one thing really stands out: in August 2023, Bitcoin was around $26,000. Today it’s about $84,000, which is roughly a 223% increase in that same window. Forget the all-time high for a second — just think about that. Life kept moving, I kept grinding through school and work, and Bitcoin quietly tripled in the background without asking anything from me. It makes you reflect a bit: while people were debating whether it was “too risky” or “too early” or “too late,” two years went by. So the real question isn’t about timing the top — it’s simple: did you stack over the last two years? And will you stack over the next two? Because the next two years are going to come whether you participate or not. The people who win are the ones who zoom out, stay consistent, and think in long horizons — the same way you would with your retirement account.
