If you had $500 a month to put into crypto, how would you split it right now?

Not a hypothetical for most people. This is the actual question retail investors are asking in September 2026. Bitcoin is at $77,500. Down from $126,000 in October 2025. Up 25 percent from its August low. Rate hike probability at 66 percent. September is historically the worst month for risk assets. Some options: All Bitcoin. The institutional narrative, the ETFs, the strategic reserve. Simplest and most boring. Split Bitcoin and Ethereum. ETH at multi-year lows against BTC. Potential mean reversion play. Split across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and one high-conviction altcoin. Higher risk, higher potential upside. Hold cash and wait for the September rate hike reaction. Deploy at lower prices if the market sells off post-FOMC. DCA says do not think about it, deploy the same amount every month regardless of conditions. The math over a four-year cycle has historically beaten almost every timing strategy. But September 2026 has a specific setup that makes the question more interesting than usual. The rate hike, the CLARITY Act vote, and the NFP data all land in the next two weeks. What would you actually do with $500 this month?

Holding half as cash this month specifically because of the September 15 FOMC decision. If they hike and the market sells off another 10 to 15 percent I want fresh capital to deploy. If they hold and Bitcoin rallies I miss some upside but I still have my existing positions running. Sometimes the best trade is the one you do not make during maximum uncertainty.
