From Excel Hell to Automated Stacking: How Stackly Was Born

Every Sunday morning in 2021, I'd wake up, grab my coffee, and open that dreaded Excel spreadsheet.

For the next two hours, I'd manually:

  • Copy-paste cryptocurrency prices from CoinGecko
  • Calculate market caps by hand (price × supply, over and over)
  • Track how far each coin was from its all-time high
  • Figure out the perfect allocation for my $500 weekly investment
  • Pray I didn't mess up a formula somewhere

One wrong number, one misplaced decimal point, and my entire investment strategy would be off.

This was my reality. And I hated it.

I was spending more time on tracking my investments than on making them. Two hours every Sunday that I could have spent researching opportunities or just living my life.

The Problem

The manual process was:

  • Time-consuming: 2+ hours every week
  • Error-prone: One wrong number meant wrong allocations
  • Stressful: Constant worry about calculation mistakes
  • Not scalable: Adding more coins or strategies made the spreadsheet unmanageable
  • No automation: Still had to manually execute buys on my exchange

I believed in dollar-cost averaging, but there was no tool that did what I needed. So I built one.

The Solution

I built Stackly to solve every problem I'd experienced:

  • Real-time price data: No more copy-pasting prices
  • Automatic market cap calculations: No more manual math
  • ATH distance tracking: Automatically updated
  • Smart allocation strategies: Calculated instantly (Equal Weight, Market Cap Weighted, ATH Distance Weighted)
  • Automated execution: Set it and forget it
  • Reminders and notifications: Never miss a stack

The transformation:

Before: 2+ hours every Sunday → Manual calculations → Stress → Risk of errors
After: One tap → done → Everything automated → Zero stress → Zero errors

I went from spending hours tracking investments to spending seconds executing them. All that saved time now goes into actual research—finding the next gems early, understanding market trends, learning about new projects.

Sharing It With Others

I built Stackly for myself, but I quickly realized I wasn't the only one fighting with spreadsheets.

When I shared the story, the response was overwhelming:

  • "This is exactly what I needed!"
  • "I've been doing the same thing in Excel for months"
  • "You just saved me hours every week"

Thousands of people were living in the same spreadsheet hell I'd escaped.

So I opened Stackly up. Made it available to everyone who was tired of manual calculations, copy-pasting prices, tracking ATH distances by hand, and worrying about formula errors.

The real impact? People are actually sticking to their DCA strategies now. When investing is this easy—one tap, done—people don't skip weeks. They don't forget. They don't get overwhelmed and give up. They stack consistently, build wealth systematically, and achieve their financial goals.

That's why we share it: to help others escape the manual grind and focus on what actually matters—building wealth and finding opportunities.

The Mission

Stackly automates everything: price fetching, market cap calculations, ATH tracking, smart allocations, and execution. All you do is stack.

The best tools are built by people who experienced the pain firsthand.

We built the tool we wish we had back in 2021. And now thousands of people are using it to build wealth without the manual grind.
