Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys, I've decided to ask you - what whould you do in this problemmatic situation?

Suppose you have some bitcoins (let's say 22) and you bought them / got them a few years ago very cheap, and now you see it's price and.... what to do?!! Will you take the profit and go away, or sit and hold further? Suppose you're not going to buy more. But when to sell?

if a person has, say, 22 BTC then they need to suck it up and stop trying to off-load their responsabilities and worries on others. There isn't a magical right moment, and nobody can even remotely suggest a decent one that will make the supposed person happy.

keep in mind that nobody has to sell his entire starsh at once.

Honestly, if you bought bitcoins years ago, selling now and even months before would be very reasonable. In a sense, the fruit.is already ripe and it's good to be picked. But if you're too greedy, I'm sure you'll always regret selling those coins(whenever that is) ones you see bitcoin increases again from that point. Worse thing is you might not even be able to sell it because of that mentality.

I guess it depends if you need the money right now or not.. They are pretty high but I believe they wil go higher. They might go lower for a while first though..

I don't want to sell my coins until it would be like one of the final pieces of the puzzle to never have to work anymore and go live life to the fullest..

I might get short on them, but only in effort to gain more coins..

Money will never be earned.
If I bought 22 bitcoin years ago, I will sell without hesitation.
Allow me to use this part of the money to buy other altcoin, and then come up with some to buy a few mine machine for myself.

Why not to be greedy if you may possibly lose a bigger profit in a year or two? You're right I'd regret or even be depressed if so

It's easy to say so... Why to sell if bitcoin is still growing?

Well if you don't want to sell, why are you looking for reasons to sell? Hodl it out until you think the value has reached a level where you feel comfortable about not having to ask people about whether to sell.

Don't sell it, keep it with you. Bitcoin will be growing even more. And everybody knows it. It's going to get down and grow again, but the price will be higher and higher.

If you have 22, you could play with 2-3 btc. Like, you could sell them when the price is getting higher and buy when it goes down.

22 years ago! Poseur! I have inhereted Bitcoin by maternal grandpa of mine.

P.S. I hated Zoidberg before it was cool!

If i were you have that much bitcoin ill sell as much as i need. Don't sell all of them at once, you'll regret that decision of bitcoin keep raising right

You can always pick out exit levels. Your end goal could be something like 20 million dollars. Sell 5 Bitcoin now. Then every time Bitcoin doubles, sell another one until you reach 20 million dollars.

Even better. Sell only 3 now and 1 more every time bitcoin doubles until you've reached 20 million dollars. Then keep those other 2 forever. :D

Have fun.

The best to do here is to set a good price to sell your bitcoin. Bitcoin reached $11K this month and I think it will not be staying there for long, which I am correct, it quickly go back to $10K and I think it will be staying there for a while.

I think it is best to hold it for now and wait until the end of the year. Bitcoin's ATH mostly happened at the end of the year, it is not even the end of the year we still have the month of December. I guess if bitcoin reach an ATH of $11K or higher, I think you can think of it as a good price to sell your bitcoins. If the price did not reach that price, I guess waiting and holding it is the best thing to do.

For me try to sell 5-10 Bitcoin then hold the remainig . Then next year try to sell another 2 bitcoin if the price rises . Do not hold too long your Bitcoin maybe just put some then use the others. The best time to sell bitcoin for me is when it reaches $15000 price or value that was already enough for spending unto things that you want and needed.

You have a good point but bitcoin, being unpredictable, we don't know when will the price go down. We can say that it is still increasing but the price dump from $11K back to $10K.

Bitcoin made a lot of people paranoid because of this question, to sell or to hold. If someone chooses to sell, the price pumps, making him disappointed or regret on what he has done. When you hold and the bitcoin price dumps another regret. I guess we must come to decide when to sell it or to hold it, the price where we will not be regretting that we sold our bitcoins and juts enjoy the profit you've got.

If in my opinion better save some and sell some because bitcoin prices are not stable so with it you can feel the profit bitcoin for the price now ,,, but for now better save until the end of the year because in the new year bitcoin price Can up to 20 thousand US dollars ..

sell and go away? no
sit and not sell? also no.

there is a lot of options in the middle! you say you have bought bitcoin years ago. i assume it can be from $200 to $500. and 22 bitcoin is $4,400 to $11,000.
if you want profit you can sell 1 or 2 bitcoin tops to get both your initial investment out and still have a huge profit and also a huge investment in bitcoin.

1-2 is just an example though. choose any number you like. it is paramount that you always invest what you can afford to lose.

If I have it I will save Bitcoin because I believe Bitcoin are still in its infancy,I will only sell it if there is a sudden need or use some Bitcoin to invest in Altcoins

It is really up to you... but I would say  on one side f you need money use it that is clear if you do not need it... do you beleive in this project? Then probably you wanna keep it.

I do not see this as a problematic situation,and I would not have anything against to be in such situation with some nice amount of BTC in my wallet.Solution is very simple,if you need some money now just sell and take nice profit-if you belive that price will go up in future and you not need money now then hold.

I agree that it is very tempting to see this price and not to sell if you buy few years ago when BTC was worth a few hundred dollars.If I am in this situation I would sell 10-15% and enjoy in upcoming holidays-life is only one and you can not hold forever :)

I don't need fiats right now so, yes, I think it's better to keep. I wish it to grow as much as possible )
One of the suggestions was to speculate with a couple of btc. It's reasonable but you must have a strong nervous system for that.

You could leave the half of the capital for continue hoarding and sell the earnings in which you could make some fiat investments like having your own many branches of bitcoin exchanges or any businesses that will suit you. From this moment of 22 BTC you are already rich and you will just find ways to maintain your wealth of not loosing it but if you think this is not enough then you could give some to the charities and share your blessings.

It all depends on how much money you need right now, if you're financially in a good spot, I would wait selling for sure.
Maybe sell just one Bitcoin, but save the rest for a couple of years. You probably won't regret it, it's a good long term investment.

I'm also thinking that those 22 Bitcoins could make for a very nice pension later on, imagine what they would be worth then...

I was in that same situation just a few months ago when bitcoin's price broke $2000. I don't even know what to do because a part of me is saying that I should wait for bigger profits, but a part of me is in doubt and thinking that maybe this is the top. Sold almost all my bitcoin holdings @$2900 only for the price to push over $4000 a few days later. I know it's a bummer but again, I'm happy with what I made. Not really a problem since you can always do 50-50 when in doubt.

Bitcoin has crossed $10000 mark. If we have 22 bitcoins purchase few years back, then it will be a golden opportunity to become rich. In such a case it is always wise to grab your profit and keep the capital amount intact. Due more demand bitcoin prices will become more and more volatile. As a result it will move sharply on both directions. So it is advisable to grab your profit and invest it in some tangible assets like gold, land or house.

What is the point of investment if we don't take the profit while we have the chance to do so? If I were you, I will sell those bitcoin and move to another type of investment, altcoins for example, or do active trading.

It is quite good to know when one has reached his/her targets; this is relative. So, if you have come to the realization and awareness of the worth of your Bitcoins today and with what you have made so far, you can decide to sell half and keep the rest. You have definitely made more than extra of whatever you earlier invested. You can stay to watch what happens to the rest; participating in knowing you have something somewhere. Good to know those who are hodling the bitcoins are coming forth to release it into the market for circulation.

With that amount of Bitcoin i think the only dilemma that you need to solve is how to spend all those money and profit you got from those years of keeping those Bitcoin sitting in your address. With the price today you can do anything you want with that 22 BTC if you will cash it out. Just be wise cash out only when you need and just let those left Bitcoin sit in your wallet and grow in a period of time.

In a world where I do not remember having such amount of BTC, let's say I sold something for 22 BTC online when they were like $3 each and now I'm finding my old wallet and figure out I have like $200k USD that I completely forgot about. To be honest, since I didn't know I had that amount I would cash out and treat myself with some really good things and maybe start an offline business.

If you don't need the money don't sell yet. It's just the beginning. Bitcoin price (https://coincodex.com/crypto/bitcoin/) could reach $40,000 next year without major issues (https://coincodex.com/article/1099/bitcoin-could-easily-reach-40000-by-end-of-2018-according-to-michael-novogratz/).

Yes but if (just imagine) it crosses $100000 mark? My wife will sue me for being an idiot )

I will take half and enjoy it. 11 BTC is still an ungodly amount of money to hodl.

I would love to sell some of bitcoins and start a business the others goes to holding and investment. I will only sell it then if I really need money

I would sell 1 Bitcoin to make a nice holiday with my family.
With the other Coins, I would split them up. Maybe look for a real investment, like assets of a company, or a house for rent, or maybe invest it in your own work if u have the possibility for it. So it is safe and can grant u a stable income without any further risks.
The other half of the Bitcoins I would just hold them and look how it is rising.

First of all hats off to you if you have been holding your bitcoins until now. Now coming back to your dilemma well we can't tell you what you should do, but I can definitely tell what I would have done if I was in your position. I would have started selling my bitcoins from now on as per the requirements. And also would consider in investing in altcoins like neo, dash and other coins which offer master nodes and other passive income options.

Whould you really do it this way? You believe this option is better than just holding btc?

if i was in your shoes, i would honestly sell couple of BTC (let's say one or two) because at the moment i'm under heavy expenses for medical treatment, so if you are in need of quick cash, cash out some and leave the rest in your wallet.
Set a goal (a selling exit point) for some more of your BTC and so on, so you will not regret to have sold or hold for too long.
One thing i keep reminding myself is: if i jump out of the BTC train, will i be able in the future to reinvest in it? There is no answer in this, it's based on your money and the willingness to invest in this project once again, it's an hard decision but without goals you will never sell anything and this can be scary and mind stressing.

With that amount of Bitcoin i wont have much of a dilemma i'll just hold and use it as i retire it was that simple. Its like deciding if you want to live luxurious right now and be poor later, Or work right now and have great life after wards.

It's so problematic now but to resolve that i decided to do short term investment of bitcoin everyday i do this since bitcoin price is so high and so volatile everyday because with that i still can get profit everyday well not much but i still get profit by that, what i really need to do is just extra diligence and patience.

Nice position, thank you. I've never had a goal on this. Now it's time to think of it. Looks like I'm greedy as one of the forum members said ) Just want more and don't know how much more

I will start selling my BTC in two cases
1 - if I will really need money
2 - if I will sell 70% of my BTC and it will be enough to buy a house:)

The best thing to do in this situation would be to wait. Bitcoin has a large potential and it is nowhere to go. It will rise further more and it is upto you to decide whether you can be able to hold more or you want to encash some of it now. If there is a necessity for some cash then you should be withdrawing some of it now and  hold the rest if not then just hold it as long as you can. Wait for BTC to cross $50000 and then decide whether to sell or not. I would hold it until $85000 as I believe it will achieve that target in a few years.

For me il decide to exchange it when its start to go down its price, atleast you have gained profit and wait for the maximum decrease of price of bitcoin and then buy it back and wait until it go up again.. That is Just for me but if you have good patience just hold your btc we have our own strategy anyways.

Just sell some of your Bitcoins whenever you need the money to buy something. Bitcoin is here to stay, no need to sell all and go away.

If you need something (f.e. a car) you should realize a share of your profit and keep the rest invested, if you don´t need something, don´t waste money.

If you made already enormous profit with BTC, always keep in mind you should always split your investments into 3 parts for security (f.e. 33% crypto, 33% real estate, 33% stocks), so if you got a big share of your money invested into crypto because you made such huge profit, I would transfer at least a share to something else (at least another coin).

I will suggest you to hold the bitcoins for longer time and make more profit. If you have any important things to do or if you have any emergency then only liquidate the bitcoins.

I would say it depends on a couple of things.  Do you need fiat right now?  Do your beliefs mirror those of John McAfee(price reaching one million in the near future)?  Do you consider other cryptocurrency competitors to Bitcoin?  Do you believe cryptocurrency is a reliable market to hold hundreds of thousands of dollars?

What you should do is sell right away, because Bitcoin will drop to 5K. Get the profit and buy again when they're cheaper. Next year the price will go up again, so you could sell again and grab some more profit. After the next ath in March next year there will be another drop, time to buy again and wait for the following ath.

Years ago? well that's really mean big profit for today that could mean millions in peso in my country, before the price of bitcoin was only $1200 then just this week it reaches $11000. If were in that position I will take my profit by selling them then start up my own business that will surely help me grow my earnings and established a good and stable life.

I will say if you need some money now, sell 1 or 2.

The other 20 keep. No reason to sell now.

Well first of all if you are burdened by 22 bitcoins feel free to send me some to relieve your stress lol. On a serious note you can do 3 things. First one, sell 1 bitcoin as this will civer the cost of those 22 and give you a profit. Second option,  sell half and walk away with some massive profits. Third option is simply do nothing and assume bitcoin price will keep going higher leading to even more profits.

All depends on your needs, if you still have a lot of money better hold your bitcoin for as long as possible. If you need money, just sell some of your bitcoins, and the rest can be considered for future investments.

Sit on it and read the market as you see fit and then dump them.

again this will depend on your risk taking assessment and to the level of your need if you need a house now why don't you spend some bitcoins? or rent a house and wait for your bitcoin to increase its price then spend it if you are satisfied in its price or you may trade it so you can increase the number of your bitcoins.

I agree it is still depends, actually it is not in a problamatic situation. It is really depends on your needs it is either sell half of your btc or divide your investment. A final decision could really help you which you can get a benefit of it.

First of all,it would be really a huge money when calculated today.I will not sell all of those bitcoins.I will sell just one or two bitcoins to enjoy a happy life and to increase my family's standard of living.

But i would just hold the remaining 20 bitcoins since every one knows very well that this price is not the end point and bitcoin deserves more high prices than today's price.

It is always very profitable to hold bitcoin for a long time provided you don’t need cash on emergency. This is so nice that you are wise with your bitcoin and are not wasting them on valueless things. Bitcoin is definitely going to increase in value in the coming days. It is highly expected to cross 20,000 dollars by next year. Maximum profit could be gained with bitcoin simply by holding it for as long as you don’t reach your target.

Half hold, the other half cast on the stock exchange. I did so 5 bitcoins, 5 on the stock exchange. As a result, now I have 8 hold, 5 on the stock exchange.

About two years of making money is one principle, when everyone else is thinking of a big jump, sell in time, and buy in time when others are desperate

I personally don't see any dilemma at this moment and this issue is not only to someone who bought very cheap to have such amount but even someone who joined in last month is faced with such decision making decision. As humans ruled by greed, you will always want more and if you allow that should take over you, you won't even get to enjoy the good life you envisaged for entering into crytpo currency in the first place because price will keep increasing and you will want to wait the more.

For me, the you don't need the whole 22btc if cashed out at once rather cash out as the needs arises with that you meet your daily needs conveniently and still take part of the future increase that might happen to price. Its as simple as that.

I will never sell my bitcoin if I will be getting paid from other sources to cover my living expenses, bitcoin can go over $100k within 2-3 years so holding bitcoin for next few years will be wise decision. Don't sell your bitcoin at cheap prices like right now, you will find it hard to collect same amount of bitcoin in future when it will be priced high.

if you need money i would say to sell some (depend on the needs but i wouldn't sell more than 2 right now), otherwise don't be greedy but greed by holding your treasure.
Set yourself a price limit for each couple of BTC, so if the price drop to your first treshold, sell if is not reached, keep it and wait.
Personally i would sell that amount of BTC only in case of huge emergency in real life.

You have to ask yourself what it is that you want to achieve. If you need money now to start your own business, go to school, move to another town or country you need rethink it all. Would it be better to take a loan or ask your family for money and keep Bitcoins because they can be going up in the coming years or sell it all.
I'm holding because I'm not in need of money right now. Sure I could buy myself a nice car with my coins but I don't really need it. I'd rather see my investment grow.

I will continue to hold of course as I can still see too much room for bitcoin growth. I will only withdraw amounts for my expenses and maybe if there are things that are worth buying or business ventures that worth the return.

You have profit and say: problematic situation? You must be satisfied.




Do what you think you should do, if you need money, then sell a bit of bitcoins and use the money



you sell 25% of your bitcoins and another part to hold


you sell when you already have a profit, it depends on your objective, for example if you intend to always have a profit of 10%, then when you have a profit of 10% you sell

I would wait up to 50,000 dollars for bitcoin and cashed would be in the $ 5-10 bitcoins in order to buy a house. The rest would be left for further growth, and while I have traveled and lived to his pleasure.

You have a huge hope of btc reaching 50k . Well the expectation of people are too high and will it be able to make it just need to wait and check out. Target for 2018 for me would be around 15k - 20k by the year end of 2018 which will begin soon and so will many developing countries will come into picture with their decisions. So will need to check how it effects the prices for btc.

There are people who are holding for holding sake and they have no clear objectives at the moment, If you believe that you can hold for a very long time without spending then you are in for larger profit  than most people.

I will sell 30-50% of my Bitcoin and enjoy the profit I get from choosing to invest in Bitcoin in the past, and if the price of Bitcoin back down may be back buy it, but the important thing I can open a business from my Bitcoin profit.

Why not rather sell to offset the amount for which you bought all your bitcoins so that you can at least know that your Bitcoin left is for free and that all your initial investments has been realized. That's for me the smartest way of investment.

hodl for the longest time possible. Only sell if you really need the money, the younger you are the higher your risk should be.

I would say hodl, hodl for as long as you can! The price will/might be $100.000 or 1.000.000, so don't blow your opportunity! Just don't!

In order to answer this, first you have to ask yourself one question - do you have some final goal with your bitcoins? Something like life goal which can be achieved with money? If yes then this should be your guiding idea. If not - split and change what you need and keep the rest for the future.

It is not a problematic situation,it is a happy situation,you just need to understand how much profit you are looking for at the end of the day and make sure you will be holding a couple of coins for the long term ,the rest you could book your profits and if you are lucky you will be able to purchase when there is a market correction.

it depends on the people on how will they use it. if they will hold it for long term then he/she will get more profit.

Sell 2 or 3 and get yourself a nice gift, or some nice vacations. After that, set some price goals to sell a couple more each time they hit, like 2 btc at 15k, 2 btc at 20k and so forth.

Or just keep holding until you can sell them all for something big, like buying a house or a car.

 I see why he is calling this a problematical situation. It is like you would win a jackpot at lottery. The statistics show that 99% of those who win on lottery become poorer than they was before and that's why he is so "scared". It is good that he noticed that and asked for advices.

I think it depends on everyones actual financial situation. If you are doing great with your daily/monthly income then of course you would keep all the bitcoin until the price will grow even more but if you have bills and you are spending more than you earn then it's logically that you should sell most part of the bitcoin and get things arranged in your life.
I would personally sell half of bitcoin to pay all the debts then I would go to a vacation to take a break.

If you actually have those 22 bitcoins now, you have before you a great opportunity that presents you the life to take things slowly and avoid making a hasty decision, because right now the capital that represents that amount of bitcoins will be enough in most from the countries of the world to ensure a peaceful life, without financial problems.

However, I think you also have a great chance to invest your bitcoins in a suitable way to multiply your wealth significantly, so that if I were in your situation, I would cash out 20%, invest 30% and hold 50%

For example I have no any btc even satoshi because now for me it's unreal buy it for this price from this my position. If I was on your place will hold because to buy it now I cant. Your morning should start with btc charts you must keep eye every hour on btc price

If I was able to buy bitcoin long time ago and hold this up to this moment surely I am having a big earnings and what will I do is take 50% of it and use to established my own business and then the other half will remain in my wallet as a sort of investment for the future because surely the value of bitcoin will increase and will give a much higher returns I just need to divert my income so I can maximize it

Don't think of selling it yet. Bitcoin have a long way to go, its value will increase even more. If you sell it now, you might regret it in the future. You can convert maybe a little amount and treat yourself, dont stress yourself too much about it. Investment is meant for long term so you can gain the biggest possible.

I have already sold out my old stash for $130/BTC. Was really happy that day, but it could be more  :D.
So I keep on buying for over 9K/BTC this days and don't regret))

You may need some cash - then sell a little..
BUT HODL a bit for sure, a few satoshi, but HODL for some years!!!

If you need money for your daily spendings, cash out the needed amount and keep the rest in long term.

If you don't need money, start trading it or hold all of it. No reason to sell them at the moment. The potential is huge there.

I would say maybe sell some and diversify your holdings

I remember someone really satisfied after sell his bitcoin at $1000 and gain so much profit, more than $10k.
Imagine what would he say now? I hope he bought back again, so he won't regret.
Bitcoin price will always increase, all you have to do is let your bitcoin in the wallet, you can sell a small amount of your bitcoin if there's something to pay but there are no other options to get cash. You can sell and enjoy the profit as well, but you may regret it if the price reaches $20k or $50k, be sure to save more than you sell.
Personally, I would love to spend my bitcoin directly into the merchants or pay the bills, but bitcoin still unregulated or legalized in my country such as in Japan.

the dilemma of the bitcoin is very sweet, once you touch it you cannot leave it. it is because its best qualities high price in the market and high rising rate in value . also the high security which give you the trust that no body can steel it from you and you are the hold if the bitcoin. the dilemma of the bitcoin also give you the pleasure of the money and give you comforted in the life.

Your decision solely depends on you own choice of investment, if you have 22btc you bought years ago you don't need to spread any news to new Comer's after all if you decides to sell it now or even before now am sure you already made you double if not tripled profit.
You can decide either to sell now or hold on a little while but my own advice is that you don't need to sell your entire starch bitcoin, you can sell some and keep the remaining for further growth in interest.

For me it would depend on what choice you would have for the future. If you think that this is something that you should look into then go ahead. However if you still yjink that you can wait for another cycle once more then do it. The important thing is you follow your gut.

If you have to even ask this question, you do not understand the potential you have in your hands. I will not give you an advice what to do, it s your money. I can say I d not consider selling for at least 3 more years.

If I were able to hold that number of bitcoin for a long period now I would rather withdraw half of them and enjoy the fruit while the other half will remain as a continue investment because that is already a big amount in fact you could have been millionaire now if you are holdin 22 bitcoin. We shouldn't be so greedy that we forget how to enjoy the harvest of our investments.

the dilemma of the bitcoin is very sweet, once you touch it you can not leave it. it is because its best qualities high price in the market and high rising rate in value . also the high security which give you the trust that no body can steel it from you and you are the holde if the bitcoin. the dilemma of the bitcoin also give you the pleasure of the money and give you comforte in the life.

Sell ONE.  Make a really crazy profit on your entire investment regardless of what happens.  You will still be in the 21 BTC club (plenty of skin in the game).

This is not in anyway a hodler's dilemma. You need to give yourself (and family) a treat if you have 22 BTC stored somewhere at the rate of $14000 per btc. What is the point of making profit from an investment if not to enjoy some of it. What if something terrible happens and you don't get to use any of the BTC stored?

I think you just get your capital. Sell some of them for savings and invest the rest. At least whatever happen you have safe money on hand since it is really risky to invest everything you have.

I don't really believe that you can hold money for long...therefore I would prefer to take the bitcoins into another currency and invest in different things

If I have that amount of BTC, I will move out the remaining coins and use them as a capital for other business opportunities. After all, 1 BTC alone is sufficient enough to setup a business. Too much coins to hold might put you at risk and its not that bad if you'll just left a few amount to hold onto.

First of all, you should stay calm. One thing you don't want in making a decision about digital cryptocurrencies are regrets. Decisions that you never put some thought through because of your overflowing emotions when you realized the price of bitcoin. Just think about it for a while and think of something that you could do better with those amounts, be wise enough to use them. You can gain a lot more if you'd think something better.

well i will convert the 11 bitcoin to fiat and put it on bank for my family
security,the other 5 bitcoins I will invest in off line businesses in which i can be
what i really want to be physically not like here in crypto that i am rich in internet
living,and the 6 bitcoin remaining is for investment here in crypto.inwill buy 3 btc
worth of altcoins.to out in long term investment and the other 2 bitcoin as well.and
the one bitcoin is for daily trading that woukd make your day complete.

HODL ffs, bitcoin is still going to go way up

Sit and think about what better ways you can do with that amount of bitcoin. Selling now because you are just carried away by your emotions when you saw how high the price of bitcoin reached this past few days will make you regret that decision. From this point onward, you can expect much better things to happen to bitcoin that will have a positive effect on us users.

Loose some, but definitely hold the majority since bitcoin prices are still pumping up and it won't even go down $15,000. So play it safe and dump some and diversify your money. Place it on eths or even buy some stocks at your exchanges. You can even use the bitcoins to invest on ICOs.

Don't think of selling it yet. Bitcoin have a long way to go, its value will increase even more. If you sell it now, you might regret it in the future. You can convert maybe a little amount and treat yourself, dont stress yourself too much about it. Investment is meant for long term so you can gain the biggest possible.

If you bought your bitcoin from a low price, it's worth enought to sell the half of it. And make some investment in real life.  Or if you're a real crypto fanatics. Start trading you 22 bitcoins :D you're awesome man. By the way, don't sell all of your bitcoin. :)

well!! my advise to you will be that you shouldn't sell all your bitcoins. You should keep some and trade or sell some if you wish. From your statement you said if a friend gives you 22BTC and it gains price within a few months or years right? this means what you are holding will become very precious and gain awesome prices in a few years to come. BTC will forever increase in price even if it dips a little. So it's worth holding. Just sell some whenever you want but not all or else you might regret when you see BTC flying at a certain price

This is extremely dangerous! In order to ensure that your interests are completely represented,  you should immediately transfer them to me. I  can safely defuse them, only my crazy tech skills can save You!

Kidding.  You should kneel down for a second and thank God for such good fortune,  then go forth and use them in the way that best makes sense for you and yours. Maybe toss some to a charity you like. Convert it first so you get the write off.
Congrats!

I think you ahouldn't sell all your bitcoins. You just have to find a solution that fits best for you. If i were in your situation, i would sell one or two to get my initial investment back, invest aome of the bitcoins in some promising alts, and keep the rest.

I would sell a quarter of all that amount, if they were 22 exactly, i would sell 17 and then keep the rest, so i can have five bitcoins forever stucked on my wallet.

And i would use the money from those 17 bitcoins to build houses or flats, by this way i will have a secured income almost forever.

If we have BTC we need to sell it, we can sell it, suppose we have 5btc, we can sell 3 btc, if we want to stay 2 btc, if want to sell price now, but we do not know until the end. From 2017 or In early January 2018 btc the price will fall higher than the current price or even rise, bitcoin prices can not be stable, the price can rise higher than now and can go down, if for example you want BTC selling price now, do not think long sell it, just sell BTC of it right now.

will sell when i find that price is so big for my buying price and  i reach my goal.

not just only hold and dreaming 1M

no one know the future. just take the profit if your need the money or if you find another better investment. just believe what you think is right and bare your own risk and don't blame others if it turns out to be a mistake

It's actually a very good problem. Congratulations on your BTC hodl.  ;D ;D ;D
I would recommend that you sell 1 or 2 to enjoy the benefits of hodling or move to other forms on investment if you don't like to spend it.

What is crypto if you can't spend it?
If the market crashes for some reason, at least you have spent some or transferred to another form of investment.

That is already 22M in Philippine Peso, so that is already a good profit for me and that is enough to set me for life. I do not have big expenses and have a stable job, so I can cash out and enjoy life with that amount.

It is different for people living in another country. Those who have high cost of living, 22 bitcoin at current price is not yet enough.

So the short answer, is it depends on your cost of living, you can have 22 M but spend 1 M a month then it is not enough. You can have 440K but spend 1K  a month, then it is more than enough.

I have sell my bitcoin i bought when the price is 1500$ and i sell it when the price is 10.000$ i get much profit from bitcoin and i use the profit for buy mining tools. Now i am still trading bitcoin i bought bitcoin yesterday and now the price increase and i sell it. I dont hold bitcoin for long term i just buy and sell when i see the price rise up. It is my strategic.

You may use different strategies for example. You can sell half or part of your bitcoins and hold another part for a long term. I think it is good way to make profits right now and keep holding bitcoins

Bitcoin made many individuals neurotic in view of this inquiry, to offer or to hold. On the off chance that somebody offers, the value pumps, making him frustrated or lament on what he has done. When you hold and the bitcoin value dumps another lament. I figure we should come to choose when to offer it or to hold it, the cost where we won't be lamenting that we sold our bitcoins and sticks appreciate the benefit you have.

If you want to see your investment grow and treat bitcoins as your asset then you can always hold on to them. No need to sell them all.

See if someone having 22 btc have earned profits enough to him and need financial resources than he should sell at this moment but if everything is all right and he is not getting panic at current then he should definitely hodl because the prices are really going to surge but it need only patience so stay calm and relax.

sell 1/4th immediately and enjoy the profits. the other part can be held fora long time as BTC's fluctuations are now in small amounts not in massive so there's no high risk. One can also invest in altcoins too for further growth in income.

BTC price raising slowly, it is good for long investment. Where people still thinking decides which altcoins to investing that can gained profit form trading it, i would prefer to buying more BTC and hold it, even profit too slow but it's safe for sure.

if i have 22 bitcoin will hold 5-10 bitcoins and exchange 5 bitcoin into altcoins and cash rest.
if you have 22 bitcoin with very cheap price will sell it because you gain

This totally depends on the risk you are willing to take , and whether you already established a good knowledge about the cryptocurrencies field or not .
 Someone invested enough in cryptos won't think a second about ceasing this opportunity to start trading and investing , more skeptical people will use the easy way : holding .
 But the fools (with all due respect ) will give away their fortune - and i'm using give away not sell because it's the case ! they are giving it for less than 10% of it's potential value - , and unless you ain't in any critical situation , keeping your coins will be by far more ideal than selling them !

When you dont need to sell anymore. It means waiting for full Bitcoin economy to estabilish, so no need to sell and use fiat anymore.

if i would have bought 22 bitcoin few years ago then definitely i would sell some of them and rest of the bitcoin i would like to hold for future...because you never know what is gonna happen with bitcoin in few times later!!!

You can apply this in any situation, Market is depending on the supply and demand so it only means that it is normal for your coins to decrease its value. The only problem is that, There are a lot of newbies which tend to panic and sell their coins immediately when the price is going down and that will be their time to lose a lot of profit.

If I have 22 bitcoin I will divide it, the 1/2 of it is I will hold it then the other 1/4 is maybe I sell it then the other 1/4 is will use for my needs. Or may hold it until it reach much amount of value then make plan in how can I spend my bitcoin and grow it more.

If it was me in that situation if I was in need of fiat I would sell some, not all tho at the end of the day you are still sitting well ahead if you bought years ago. From here you could even turn some into altcoins and maybe do the same thing again. 22 btc would give you a large amount for investing into something else.

The point is that you can sell some while always remain invested. That is why I plan to do with mine.

Let’s say that you bought them at $500, they are currently worth $16,500 each. You could sell three of them and you would almost have $50,000 in cash and you would also have 19 bitcoins and could wait until bitcoin price raises more to sell some more.

For me, it’s not a dilemma.

With so many bitcoins, you can sell a part, and leave the remaining amount of bitcoins and wait until the price is even higher.

Sell some and hold other.

Invest into some up and coming coin.

I really hope you didn't sell because bitcoin has skyrocket since then. Why sell them to begin with? Use them. Keep then for the future. No need to sell them. You still thinking wrong. You don't need to sell bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency in itself and is becoming more and more common and accepted.

The dilema you are going to face when you try to play the bitcoin game as a investment person is you always have the fear the price could go down. Alot of times people that are new to world of investment want quick returns and sell when the price drops like 5 percent.  Now you also have to consider the tax implications on gains as well.

Do all of the above, take some off the table so no matter what happens you would have realised some gain and not feel bad if it crashes.

#DYOR

Well for me, if I have that amount of BTC in my hand right now, I will cash it out my initial investment so I can get my ROI (it would be great if you add some of your profit to taste the fruit of your investment)
Then after I cash out my ROI, I will cash out some to make a real life business that I love and I know, which can gives a good passive income to my net worth. And finally I will hold all the remain until the price goes up even more, because bitcoin is definitely can goes higher.

I am sure that if you cash out that bitcoin, you only need a small amount of bitcoin to get back your investment money because the bitcoin price now increases high and you can keep the rest of your bitcoin as your long term investment. I will do that way too but I will use the rest to trade so I can have more bitcoin from trading profit. I do not forget to create some real business in my real life so I can start my own business while I still do trading to have another profit.

Don't ask people in the internet for questions you should have the answer to. Whatever the case maybe, do whatever you want with your bitcoins. If you hold, you'll probably lost money now because bitcoin prices declined today. But if you withdrew some then good for you. You have money.

The only dilemma in people's mind right now is when to sell, the ones who brought it some year's ago and even those who just bought it have one thing in mind, do we wait or we sell. This dilemma will continue till the price of Bitcoin is stable. I think it would be wise to wait for some time there will suddenly be a spike in price and if the spike goes upward or downward only time will tell.

There is potential in Bitcoin to reach 100.000 I will just hold a few more years. You can also invest in altcoins some of it, look how high altcoins are now.

we must educate our self about how bitcoin work. In my opinion bitcoin will grow in 50 years ahead. imagine like warrent buffet when he buy a stock he will keep the stock 10 year 20 year even more 20 year. i never sell my investment if the price will grow.

It depends on whether the person need to use money at the moment and whether he/she believe that the price will rise in the future. For me, I will hold the 22 bitcoin and only sell the amount I need to use.

Holding or selling bitcoin is always a difficult decision because bitcoin value is not fixed and if there is no need of extra money then i will go for holding  but in case i need some extra money then i will sell all my coins in available price.

Yes i will do that. I will sell it half it means 11 bitcoin for my daily need.
The half i will split again into 10 pieces and i will buy promissing altcoin like etherium and hold it.

if i become you and have a lot of bitcoin. of course I will rack my brain to get another benefit. I can trade with other crypto. Yes, there are many ways to earn a purse of profit.

me myself think this is the best time to sell your bitcoin. you might consider to invest in altcoin instead than bitcoin. cause bitcoin is not an company. what bitcoin do is for helping transaction and seems its fail cause bitcoin transaction fee is so high rather than other coins such as ripple and XLM. im afraid soon bitcoin bubble will pop. thats the reasons why you must sell it now. there is alot more reason to sell it and invest to altcoins. the decisions in yours hand and the risk is yours. its true there might be a chance for bitcoin to increasing but i dont want take such risk.

A true bitcoiner will never sell his bitcoin if he truly thinks that bitcoin is the future currency. If you have bought a few bitcoins some years ago you are already in good profit just because you believed on the concept. So if you are ready to sell it off then be ready to lose the price increase in future.

I will choose to hold the bitcoin and not to sell now. I feel that Bitcoin has the potential to reach much higher price. I will not sell for anything under $100,000.

My dear friend, you can record profits at different levels, for example every 10 thousand dollars bitcoin- sell their part, for 10 000, 20 000, 30 000 and so on, and you can wait 50 000 and there to sell half and half for 100 000, all have different strategies.

I would have sold a third of the bitcoins in order to improve my well-being. a third of the bitcoins I would have invested in business in real life in order to receive money. The remaining third would have left to grow further.

There is nothing wrong in booking your profits and holding a few coins for the future,make sure you are able to diversify your investment to other potential projects where you could multiply your assets rather than just holding it without doing anything,i cannot understand what is this big dilemma with you . :P Just learn how to be successful in trading rather than holding it without doing anything.

When I remember, I will sell half immediately

no need to hurry
with the dumping and pimpong it will not affect the price of bitcoin, if you really look at bitcoin then you will hold it at this time and not rush to sell it
wait for the right momentum then sell all your bitcoin

I prefer to take profit from the investment and keep the initial investment on Bitcoin, or probably I would add some Bitcoins more to the initial investment. Personally, if we really well-understood Bitcoin and knowing the potential Bitcoin. I believe we should keep throwing our money to Bitcoin.

i agree with you. you can trade btc for altcoin to increase our bitcoin. or you can invest ico. so your bitcoin more increased.

If you have kept them for several years, then there is no need for panic.
My advice is not to sell them now. Just wait and soon you will not regret it.

That method is fool-proof. I always used that strategy. I booked my profits when bitcoin reaches $18.700 last year and take my profits and keep my initial capital intact. And it looks like another buying spree that we are seeing, so I might as well buy bitcoin tonight.


Why sell now when the price is dipping so fast? But altcoin is also suffering? If you really want to sell, then just dump a few. There's no need to dump them all at this current price. As far as altcoins, yes, I would agree that is good as a investment, but I wouldn't shift around my funds to it. Altcoins is much volatile as bitcoin, and I wouldn't risk to invest it today. I would rather wait and see how thing's will be in the next days to come.

Some people will never listen to you because they always try to chase quick profit. This is the worst thing actually, people should know how to hold their bitcoin without selling and trading.

You are not working or developing or anything, so you will be profited, holding will gives you more profit, presently the price of Bitcoin is in Dump, but it will pump 4 times more than the dump.

Most of the people have some budget, so they fix nad once the price reaches withdraw it, never be lazy to keep for more profits.

Dont forget to always take some profit, dont let the greed control us. Atleast cash out your initial capital ;D

I personally will cashout some and some more profit to enjoy and will hold the rest of it if there is no emergency need. I prefer to go big or go home than enjoying some pennies  :P

I think it all depends on the personal situation.
When the amount of money you can earn with selling all your bitcoins is enought to give you a decent rest of your life, there is nothing wrong about that.
That amount is depending on many factors, like your personla life style or the country you are living in.
But when the amount you get only brings you half the road, I would think twice about it.

Maybe if the bitcoin changes from time to time have not been able to go up I will soon sell them to earn money and try to find another altcoin that has a movement fast enough to gain profit and be able to cover up the previous loss.

Bitcoin is the best investment and it is very much unlikely to happen that it won’t gain value from time to time, at least not in the near future. It is the best of the best when comes to giving profit to its investor. No other crypto coin has helped as many people financially as bitcoin has. However, I would suggest you to invest in Ethereum and ripple also. This is the right time to get benefit out of those two.

If I had 22 bitcoins, I'd sell half of them now.
The remaining half continues to hold.
Because I wanted to go out and enjoy myself with the money I sold.

if u have 22 BTC, i think u must until 1BTC= $45.454 and u got 1 million. it's simple,just wait. maybe it happen on this year

As i can see the date this OP was posted, i think the author may have tempted to sell (maybe some or maybe all) of his bitcoin midway through december when bitcoin's market value reached the 20,000$ mark. If he just let it pass and ignore it, maybe he is feeling a little regret knowing that bitcoin fall down from that mark to 11,000$+ today.
It's better to hodl it now strong and believe that bitcoin will come back again.

Will you take advantage and leave, or sit down? Suppose you will not buy more. But when to sell ?, and we never know when the bitcoin will skyrocket again..

Given the situation, I will not sell my bitcoin if I don't have anything to buy or use the money on the moment and if ever I will, I will only sell only the equivalent value of of the price that I need, not all. I am sure Bitcoin's price will still go up in the future. :)

which I do if faced with the situation as above is, maybe I will buy some bitcoin again for long-term investment. because the current price is not the peak price of bitcoin. the real price is definitely bigger than this.

I understand your dilemma because it is also mine. My answer is that it very much depends how important would be for you the FIAT sum that you would get by selling. And if you are nor sure you can always decide to sell half - or less, to balance the risk.

I would split it somehow.
I would like to take some profit and get some cash, in the other hand I don't want to miss maybe times when 1 Btc worth 100,000$ so I would keep some for future.

I will withdraw my profit and leave the capital to hold. If the profit is much too high I will withdraw the capital and leave the profit. But if I have lots of spare money I'm not going to withdraw instead I'm going to add more to earn more.

The biggest dilemma which is keeping all the long term investors of bitcoin away from making more money in having lack of patience in their personalities. The thing is you can only hold your bitcoins for some good period of time when you are having enough control over your emotions. Most of the holders fail to keep their control over their emotions both at the time when the market value rises bit high or gets little low, thus ending up selling their bitcoins.

I think every bitcoin holder’s dilemma is if bitcoin will be gone in a blink. Each and every one of us will surely be terrify if bitcoin will be gone in a blink. All our efforts, hard work, sleepless nights, and precious time will fly away in the wind. All our money that we invest in bitcoin will also be gone like a thief just stole it. Imagine that you have all your money and investment in your house then it burn out by fire. Well this is our dilemma but we are hoping that this will be just dilemma and it will not happen to us. 

My believe is that holding crypto like BTC will pay off big time this year everything boils down to being patient..

If you keep your bitcoin today you probably lost a great deal of money. bitcoin prices from $ 20,000, have fallen and fluctuated at $ 11,000; Bitcoin prices increase very slowly, and may decrease further. The bitcoin market is already saturated. At present ethereum prices are rising, ethereum in the future may rise higher than bitcoin. This is my personal opinion.

You can sell some part, not all at once. Get a profit and leave some as an investment for the future.

I guess you have to decide and do the speculation. I think you can do a lot of ways to get around the current situation. you can trade with a cheap altcoin that has a pretty good future. there are many ideas you can do. you must have a plan and a strategy. try to find a lot of knowledge about which is related to crypto.

I think you can sell part, then leave the rest. But I will not do it because it is my own coin and can be discarded as you see fit. Each investor should have a bottom line in his heart, what price to toss, and what price to buy. Is necessary, should not follow the market blindly, otherwise, you will have nothing.

That completely depends on the personal outlook you have on this space.

Depending on what you do day to day, if you are busy or not, just focus on yourself and keep developing your skills. Let bitcoin sit in your portfolio and come back in a couple of years. If you dont need it right now then dont worry.

I can help you with your dilemma! Now you can use your BitCoin on www.wecamgirls.com  :)

Ok Suppose I have some bitcoins ( let's say 22), suppose I am not going to buy more, I suppose sell half when suppose price btc 20k and suppose keep half. But I can only suppose.

The crypto market is in the bloodbath now,
i suggest you not to sell the bitcoin now.

My problem is that the logical way would be to cash out, but where do you go with that fiat ?  My idea with BTC was never to cash out, but to use it to buy stuff, that's why I bought it.  I'm against speculation.  I didn't realize, when I got into this, that it was pure speculation.  If I cash out now, I have to pay taxes on it or get myself in potential trouble.  I don't want to.  So I prefer to hold even if it is a dumb move in the market.

If you are going to become a really rich person, then it is better to wait with the sale of bitcoin. Sooner or later the world community will be forced to legalize bitcoin. This becomes inevitable. The harder it is to extract bitcoin, the higher its cost. Good luck.

If you already have enough money and no emergency, you better keep it longer, but if you need money for emergencies, you better sell it partly, and the rest you better hold it again, because now is not the moment right to sell it.

It is not that it is illegal.  It is that I have to pay 50% taxes on it because of speculative gains.  I don't want to enrich the state.

For me, if I am kind of need in money much let me say I really need to buy my brand new house since my old one is not as good as it were before maybe I would take the profit I have right now, or if there is an emergency and I do not have an exact money to pay out then I would use my bitcoin rather than begging a money to give one. And if I do not really much need money then I would hold it for a longer of time because there would be a chance for bitcoin to reach a phenomenal value to beat the value it reaches wayback on 2017.

I think many people are confused, do not know whether to hold or sell, because bitcoin fell, some people are hesitant, they can not identify their beliefs, they believe bitcoin, but the declining prices make them afraid, but they insist Down, the final bitcoin rose to 10,000 US dollars, this is the 2017 experience.

i suppose u already cashed our your initial investment. now i suggest u to keep 1/3, transfer 1/3 into eth, and do whatever u want with the remaining 1/3.

It's completely depend on you. You have to take your decisions because we can't predicting anything about bitcoin price. But If you want to play safe then you can divided your invest with some other crypto currencies as well. Anyway the future of bitcoin is very bright, so I think holding of bitcoin is not a bad idea at all. It's definitely change your life.

Recently I have known a bit about bitcoin as well as the electronic money market. The information that bitcoin tends to decrease and other altcoins are similar.
I think investing in altcoins at the moment is not a good idea. I think we should sell all the coins we have to be economically secure. That's my advice and I hope you can look it carefully.

If you will look at bitcoin's graph this time, you can really say that bitcoin is in a very sluggish and very rough road. But even if it is down today, it is still a big profit for you if you bought it few years ago. Even if you sell it today, that's a big about of money and much even more if you HODL it a bit for few more months.

It will be possible if our government will take interest in bitcoin and they will allow it to become legal currency. legalization of bitcoin is one of the most important thing because it is all about bitcoin price and value that use to increase and decrease when bitcoin will be legal for sure people will sue bitcoin all the time instead of cash so bitcoin price and value will increase because of it so yeah it is really needed to be legal.

Many people have being getting a lot of confused now as they do not understand should they sell now and may be more correction might happen and do not want to lose more money or should they hold as they being holding for a while and market is going in more red only for now. If you require some money then sell limited qty and do hold the rest because it will jump back in coming time easily.

I have been doing a lot of thinking on these same themes lately. The problem is that this risk applies to almost any class of assets - they can just disappear overnight. Hyperinflation may make your FIAT worthless, your bank may do bankrupt and make your money disappear, thieves can steal your gold or your country could make a law to seize it and as you said your house may burn down.
Now we are witnessing our crypto-portfolios evaporating very fast. Hopefully the trend will reverse.

The situation now is no issue to any wise crypto user. The price and value of crypto coin is not static and very unstable. Those that think bitcoin has crashed and are selling their coins will be the ones to regret in time to come.So what if the price of bitcoin drops to less that $1,000 now

The dilemma of bitcoin users is to loss the money they invest. In other word if the value of bitcoin goes low and will never ever come back. We don’t know how long it last and that is quite alarming.

If I had 22 bitcoins, I would sell them and invest all the money in real estate, it is more reliable.As for me)

This could be a usual feeling of people who pertain to risk a lot. Well I guess, everything has or could feel like this when they think or almost gave up everything for bitcoin. Just like another usual scenario, waiting or simply patience is enough to somehow won't take another move.

if I am in that position I choose to keep hold and wait even though ever, and I still buy the bitcoin, because my thinking, where the price goes down there will be a price rise, so I remain patient to hold and wait for the expensive price and I do not will give up to wait.

As of late I have referred to somewhat about bitcoin and in addition the electronic currency advertise. The data that bitcoin tends to diminish and different altcoins are comparative.
I think putting resources into altcoins right now isn't a smart thought. I figure we should offer every one of the coins we must be monetarily secure. That is my recommendation and I trust you can look it precisely.

If I had 22 bitcoins, I would sell them for my own needs, but I would keep the rest. Perhaps, it makes sense to partly transfer them to other promising coins, since keeping all the funds in one coin is not very reasonable. If you have the experience of a trader, you can at the same time partially trade with them, using the greater volatility of bitcoin.

I don't think it would be a dilemma for a long-term investor. They deserved it, they believe in Bitcoin, and they deserved to be rewarded. I'm sure most of the long-term investor will reinvest the profit they got, and take partially the profit for their own need, or maybe just taking out the initial investment.

I am again trying not to sell the bitcoin I have, if I will be paid from other sources to cover my living expenses. Bitcoin could spend $ 1,000,000 in 3-4 years so holding bitcoin for the next few years would be a wise decision. Do not sell your bitcoin at such a cheap price right now. You will also find it difficult to collect the same amount of bitcoin in the future when the price will be high again. 8)

In my opinion, you should sell your bitcoins in the end of this year. And a little advice, determine for what money you are ready to sell bitcoin and wait for this price.

well the nature of crypto including BTC is that you may never know when they will take a dip or gain value, if you are only in for the profit then sell and get out when you still can. Passionate investors however will hold on, as we have seen Bitcoin gaining value after a dip on more than one occasion.

  Bitcoin is being proved that as an amazing creation in the world of digital currency there is many ups and downs in this cryptoworld. Since Bitcoin has made millions of peoples trust there are are different type of opinion in the mind of people that is one group believe that Bitcoin is an asset and not to be used as currency the other group think that Bitcoin will stop the fiat currency and bring people to financial freedom.

Choosing to hold back is not an easy option as there is certainly a lot of pressure coming in as the market price continues to bleeding makes you even more frightened to hold. I'm sure yesterday many people are dilemma to continue holding or selling. and lucky people like you are still holding your bitcoin because today the market is starting to get green. hopefully this will continues..

Holding bitcoin is the best thing to do if you are very optimistic about bitcoins, but if you doubt, then you can simply withdraw it and do things you wanted to acquire. That is already your profit anyway... 22btc is already a huge money... Do something great for your hard earnings:)

I think only 10% of people will be strong to hold BITCOIN from 2011 - now.

most of them do trade in the market but now have begun to grow the principle of bitcoin resistant krn already began to seem significant increase in the price significantly.

if i for now buy bitcoin and save up to several years ahead

I will sell for 12 btc when the price is at $19k yesterday because I cannot wait to see the price increase higher but I will buy another bitcoin again especially at this time. I think we need to know the good time to sell and don't be greedy otherwise our profit will be gone and we will be regret so we can take the profit and enjoy what we earn. I will hold the rest until I can see another highest price again so I can make another high profit.

Im in the same position
I bought when it was considerably cheap and I wont buy more at this price
I dont want to sell and I dont want to buy, its really a dilemma :-\ LOL

The best time to sell your bitcoin is whenever there are no more supplies. That's the time the pricing of bitcoin will go higher than you expected. Because the supply will go down and the demand will go up.

I will hold further and probably sell when blockchain adoption is more than half of our population.
Blockchain is here to say, I'm gambling on Bitcoin and other coins that is why.

so when prices are volatile like now you are still doing a sale and purchase coins? because you need extra money? what if the price is below the price you bought earlier, will you still hold your coin? I feel the current dilemma because bitcoin price is currently below the price I bought earlier. whether I should cutlose and buy at a lower price again or keep holding

The best time for me is anytime which gives you profit and you need that because this is for what you have invested in the first place. If there is less supply in the market and you sell your bitcoin and you don’t want to sell, then you will end up wasting the time as well an opportunity which could take you towards bigger profit. Therefore, first comes you and your needs and then comes the market and the supply and demand of the market.

Maybe for profesional trader have not problem about that.Cause a professional trader knows exactly when he will invest or sell and not only see from the rise and fall of bitcoin prices. Because basically bitcoin is not only used in one market. I think every trader always see the total supply in every market. But always keep using the basic formula, buy when prices fall and sell when prices rise ^^

if you now have already much profit, why don't you sell it already ?
if the price at the time you bought is far from the current price, i suggest you to sell it.
but the market is on the red right now.

As these days I actually have stated somewhat concerning bitcoin and additionally the electronic currency advertise. the information that bitcoin tends to diminish and completely different altcoins area unit comparative. i believe putt resources into altcoins straight away is not a wise thought. I figure we must provide each one of the coins we tend to must be monetarily secure. that's my recommendation and that i trust you'll be able to look it exactly.

If I had that kind of holding right now, I think I'm going to cash out the half and invest it on a business I want. And the remaining bitcoin I will just hold it for a while hoping that the will still going to pump every year.

I think we should sell bitcoins when they are at $ 11k. That's an average price of bitcoin and you should not be greedy. This is a market where we do not know what their future will be like and we never evaluate the true price of these altcoins. If you invest, that means you're gambling. Investing in cryptocurrency is no precise basis, it is easy to lose all your assets.

This totally depends on the risk you are willing to take , and whether you already established a good knowledge about the cryptocurrencies field or not .
 Someone invested enough in cryptos won't think a second about ceasing this opportunity to start trading and investing , more skeptical people will use the easy way : holding .
 But the fools (with all due respect ) will give away their fortune - and i'm using give away not sell because it's the case ! they are giving it for less than 10% of it's potential value - , and unless you ain't in any critical situation , keeping your coins will be by far more ideal than selling them !

If I would be in that place, after hearing all the prevalent news and discussions I would just move away slowly with what I got ;)

From the time I started on btcs I am earning fron bounties and selling on every hikes and now also I would do same

I have no clues. And even that's an issue to think and I would be psting a siimilar topic in few days

our greed is never enough but i hope i could a huge a profit and get away lol

You can have some parts of the money like you can start selling the half i.e. 11 btcs and keep the others for future that would be better

Perhaps the best thing is the middle way, sell a part of the BTC and take home the gain and keep the remaining part as an investment, hoping that the BTC will go up again

It would be better to go for long run if you have some doubts on btcs because still now btcs have been profitable always in long runs

I believe that now it is best to keep bitcoin in your crypto-portfolio. Its price is very low and it is better to wait until it starts to grow up. Then you can partially sell it to fix the profit and leave the rest for the hold.

The concept is, Holding or selling bitcoin is always a difficult decision because bitcoin value is not fixed and if there is no need of extra money then i will go for holding  but in case i need some extra money then i will sell all my coins in available price. There's no need to dump them all at this current price. As far as altcoins, yes, I would agree that is good as a investment,

Wow, you should sell your bitcoin when the price as its peak. When you see the price decrease about 5% from the peak,
that is the time to sell it because it is a sign that it was the peak of the price in the market.

If you want to sell now, this is not a good time to sell. i assume you still have your profit because you bought it from long time ago.
why don't hold it more ? if bitcoin value back to $20k again, you will get much.

I will sell for 11 btc at the highest price which is happening in the last December and hold the other for another year. I still want to buy more bitcoin and if I can sell it at the highest price, I am sure I can buy another 11 btc or even more than 11 btc because I have much money to buy. and I can use that money for another things or maybe create a new business in my real life so I can have two type of business in the online life and real life.

I am in your same position and I wish I had sold half at all time high. Instead, I have sold a part when they had dropped already more than half.

if you bought bitcoin a few years ago, sell it now and even a few months earlier it will get better.

For me as a bitcoin holder I don't have any dullness about it I'm still not feel any shock panic or nervous when bitcoin price goes down

right . The current market in recent days is quite sensitive. This is the key moment for you to get an overview of this market. But in my view, before going up I think the big investors will deliberately bring the price down a little to get up the momentum.

Better holding more longer. Bitcoin price predicted rising to $25000 and with bitcoin price right now, we have opportunity to make more profits end this year. If you can wait and holding bitcoin for many years, why not holding more for a few months and get big profits

The market is currently unpredictable. because of the sudden increase two days ago. And I think this is how big investors are trying to test the market's sensitivity before it gets pushed up.

once the big investors find a way that the market will get up, they will invest in a big money so they can make a big profit too. but yes, although there big investors, I don't think that they can control the price and the price still unpredictable and the price can go anywhere. but for some people, maybe they will still hold their bitcoin and they don't sell their bitcoin because they know that the price will go higher and they are still waiting for this.

That is really painful if you sold coins when the prices were down. You are here on the forum for so long and I believe that you must have very good knowledge about the trends of dips and pumps of bitcoin and other crypto coins of this market. even if you have money to invest now, better buy some of the bitcoin in order to secure yourself a lion’s share in the pump exhibited by bitcoin in the coming days.

my advice, don't sell it yet. Every year bitcoin has a peak price time on the market.
you missed the peak on 2017, just wait for the new high point in this 2018.
