Now that the price is increasing, would you sell your Bitcoins any-time from now for hard cash?

For me, I will not sell my coins for cash, but rather wait until it can be used conveniently like cash and use them.

I'm selling 2BTC later this year, But only if the price reaches $3,400-$3,600

Did that once - regretted it ever since - unlikely to happen again

 Sold some at 85$
Don't regret it. At that time the price was ok and the profits huge.
Never regret the past, you can't change it.

I'm planning to sell after the next halving so not fir a few years yet. This price is hopefully nothing compared to what we'll see then.

Now already i have sold my few bitcoins, and now still bitcoin price is rising than i feel i did wrong.
Therefore i save my few bitcoins and i have no plan to sell them, because till the end i will wait.
Main point is that next time i can't buy the bitcoin again, because it is too expensive.
That the reason i left the idea to sell my bitcoins, i will save them for a long time like 5 to 10 years.     

I will sell in an emergency, only if I really need the money, otherwise I will hold as long as possible.

I might sell a percentage for trading purposes, but prefer trading with altcoins.

Not now but by the end of the year I will sell my 40% bitcoin. I work this way only. Whenever I make an investment, I set a time limit of when I will sell it. This way I am able to earn good profit.

It should not be mandatory to sell just because the price is high..sell when you in need of fiat simple...

you do not want missing out on a big surge in the future because of an early sale

When you decide to sell its just right not to look back at your loss. Unfortunately you had to learn the hard way

That is a good decision as we have seen in the past that price goes higher at the end of the year and right now even at this stage the price is too high so we can expect huge price as we get closer to the end of the year so the best thing would be to hold bitcoins till that point of time and sell them at higher profits and it is speculated that price will touch $5000 at the end of the year.

I sold 40 coins a couple months ago and bought a house. 

I think if far more than half of my net worth is in bitcoin, it makes sense to rebalance so that 50% is in bonds and stocks.  Then if bitcoin should ever go into another deep dive, rebalance to put half back into bitcoin.

So yes, it is important to sell a fraction, maybe 1/3 at each doubling, or something like that.  Stay diversified, and you will destress yourself about what the market does.

I don't have coins and i don't have anything to sell im just becoming crazy after i sold my coins when the price is at $1800 and now i think i already lose 200$ because the price increase if i only knew that the bitcoin price will increase maybe i can hold till the end of reach 2000 and ugh im start crying now.

It's so fair, if you look at my situation. I am being in from the 2015. I was selling the bitcoin when price was 300$ or more as well. Now, I have around 0.4 btc completely in my all wallet, I do not have thought to sell the bitcoin now because of it's continuous price bump in chart. I think, even no one will go for selling out at this moment.

Umm, let me think... if I sold the few satoshi I got what I would buy? Would I buy a cat? But a cat has a lot of expenses, expenses with veterinary, expenses with ration ... I think it would be a bad business, so what should I do? Humm, I'm going to invest in something to increase my satoshi and buy a cat and give it better living conditions for the cat

That's right, I would not sell all my satoshis, one part I'll sell as usual and another part I'll invest as always

This is the kind of story I like to see ^^

But personally for me I do not plan to sell my coins just yet, I hage dreams like this guy so will not sell until a few more years pass & I see hopefully a higher price.

I used some when the price was $80, $400. That helped the adoption of bitcoins.

Everyone has a dream to get rich with bitcoins but for that we need to hold our bitcoins for next couple of years as price of bitcoins will be much higher so you can achieve your dreams even if you have less amount of bitcoins as selling them now not be wise as at this stage you won't be getting that benefits which can be possible in future.

Not for now, I am still enjoying the movement of the Price of Bitcoin. Its like I am earning doing nothing at all, everyday I see the price of Bitcoin change from $20 to $50 and up to $100. If this continueS, we might see $3,000 in next coming months specialy when Australia started accepting Bitcoins as a pay option.

I sell some every time the price starts to take a dive... { my guess work has worked out for me } and then once the price drops to much lower

levels, I buy some again. I usually end up with more bitcoins than I had before I sold it. I am not saying it is going to work all the time... but I

have been lucky so far. I always keep some bitcoins on paper wallets ....just in case this thing goes to Mars. If Mr Pizza kept some bitcoins back

then and not used everything for pizzas... he would never have regretted buying those pizzas. The real profits come from the few bitcoins you

keep on the side... until the big day comes.  ;D  [[ $1 000 000 per Bitcoin sound more or less right to me ]]  ;D

I am spending to invest, just bought a "gaming" pc with 2 1080 TI's for mining. Never leave the crypto economy system, ever ! :)

Nope, i won't sell unless i see price at $5k or above. i won't sell all my coins though (10% of my holding), rest will keep on holding to purchase a house with bitcoin. :)

i would like to repeat like always and like others and say no i will hold forever and never sell but to be honest i have sold and will sell something at least.

i believe it is not a good idea to hold everything. for example if you have 1BTC then don't even think about selling.
but if you have a couple BTC then sell a very small portion to enjoy the profit you gained. like 5% of the stash if it is small or less if it is bigger. many are celebrating these days the Pizza day, the $2000 mark. it is healthy.

but apart from that i will hold for years.

Im planning to sell some of it, lets face it, we need money, we need fiat, we cant use Bitcoins yet to buy for anything that we need on our daily lives but I will not sell all of them, maybe only a small portion just to cover the amount of money that I need. I know Bitcoin has not reached its highest rate yet.

Yes bitcoin has lot to offer in future but if you really need money then you can sell some part of your bitcoins to manage your basic stuffs but only sell the amount you need and rest hold for the future and wait for the best price to sell your rest of the coins.

Of course, everyone must have the same sense of attraction. We are all interested in getting a lot of bitcoin. Now the bitcoin price increases and almost everyone wants to swiftly exchange it to hard cash money.

I've committed to selling 50% of what I mine and keeping the other 50% for the longer term.

I sold all of what I had when it first broke past the old historic high -- which is fine as I made great profits... but I think holding back 50% from here on out is a good idea.

Mining about 1.7 BTC per month right now (via Nicehash)... I plan to keep building more machines as long as it stays profitable.

Selling some of my bitcoins is on my cards but only for cash that i am really in need of because bitcoin price has not reached its peak

as we all believe prices might even go as high as 10,000 dollars. For now it would the right choice to keep holding.

Yeah selling btc is a mistake on the long run, but short term profit is important too.

Otherwise you're going to just... Never sell anything in fact!
And if you never sell anything all you have is imaginary money.
Capitalization.

You don't buy anything with that ;)

I won't sell any bitcoin in the next 10 years, unless its price becomes something crazy like 100k$ in a short time period (like 2-3 years)

I know I won't be selling anything for 10k$ but when it starts to go above 10k$ it will be hard to resist. 50k$ for a pure also has a nice ring to it but it doesn't make my dream real so i probably won't care about it unless i own 10bitcoins at that time that's another story.

Most people that hold bitcoins are expecting for a big price increase then definitely they will sell it soon.

But for now, kinda not a wise way to dump some coins. In the first place, who will sold coins if the price is experiencing a continous rise movement? Better do hodling as we can expect more of it while time passes by.

If it reached a certain price level and still wasn't practical to buy things like property with it, and I wanted some, then I'd have to flog some . Other than that I have no plans.

each time there is a significant rise people ask the same question and every time the answer is the same :)
many say they will sell if price reaches some imaginary number, that price was $300 at some point believe it not! and each time many do actually sell at that price and then either buy back at a higher price or get lucky and price really takes a dive so they can buy lower!

as for me, since i don't want to be the guy who sold at $300 and was left behind in the dust, i won't sell unless i need money.

If I had and bought them under $1200 now would be the perfect time for me only to sell and enjoy the cash, but I don't recommend any body bought above $1800 to sell now, we may very well be heading towards $2500 waters soon hopefully if the rally continues.
One advice, if by any chance you woke up one day and saw the price is at sub $500 don't panic and keep holding your Bitcoins, I learned it the hard way, sold in panic and now I know as long as I have them in my wallet no matter what happens they're still worth a lot of money.

If bitcoin is entering full on bubble mode the problem of with selling is that you might have to watch as it continues climbing magnitudes higher leaving you wishing you'd held, or you might be lucky and sell near the top, but its a bit of a lottery.  If you want to make sure you don't get thrown off the bull too early you can hold on for dear life through all the dips and corrections until after the eventual crash (you'll know it when you see it) and then try to sell near the top of the first dead cat bounce.

I will sell either to buy back more Bitcoin, and if/when that fails, diversify my investments.


In 2013 there was a heavy correction from about $750 to $450 on the way up. Even when it seems obvious... it's not. Imagine how the people who sold the bounce at $550-$600 or so must have felt after they watched the price continue on to $1000+.

As it is now, all the impossible can come true. Bitcoin prices rose well above predictions and forecasts. In 2013 no one would imagine bitcoin prices could reach 2300USD. Price rates that exist today are a dream come true.

But that time, price bubble fall back to the low value. I hope the bitcoin value will not slide like that. This bump should move forwards for sure as we have enough adoption source over blockchain tech and bitcoin. So holding would be best adoption for now. No need to sell out coins.

For those who are not willing to sell now, since BTC is now reaching all time highs, be ready for any disappointments and regrets. Cryptocurrency world is so unpredictable, I’m selling 50% of my BTC , its worth it since I bought them at a lower price

For those who have quite amount of bitcoin it is better to hold it until its price became nearly stable. But for those who have no enough bitcoin it is better to run your money in any kind of transaction such as trading and investment.

I already sold my bitcoins when the time the price is at $1600 I'm just a fool one coz I didn't think to hold my bitcoin for this long and suddenly I'm in need of money that is why I already sold out all my bitcoin I'm waiting for another month for me to receive bitcoin again to start a good trading .

You shouldn't regret it.. They'll always be another way get more BTC
