Imagine not selling when Bitcoin was above $100K
And now considering selling now
Lol what a Loss.

Yeah the dip is annoying, constant reds isn't funny
But the willpower and determination that held you from selling above $100K should also be applied now.


Stay strong
We all in this together. There are People at there house with bigger stash but they are still holding.


The essence of the thread is to remind Bitcoiners that we still holding and ain't giving up now .


Godspeed.

I did the same thing by myself. When Bitcoin reached 109K, I didn't sell, just hoping that Bitcoin would correct again and create another all-time high price.I was almost double the profit then, but now I'm not that much more profitable but at least I have not in loss by investment price.
And here too, I will keep the hope that Bitcoin will try again for a new all-time high price and this is just a major correction in Bitcoin that is happening under the influence of whales. At the end of the day we are the hodler not the trader.  :'(

Before entering into the crypto space, and even investing in it, it’s always important to understand that the market is either going up or down, there are two movements when it comes to Bitcoin price movement. Sometimes it’ll go up and sometimes, so we gotta have that consciousness and also prepare their minds for the downturns as well as they expect the upturns too because they are absolutely inevitable.

The dip is really annoying but I'm pretty sure that it will soon correct so let's persevere to be steadfast and be patience as we are already aware that Bitcoin is volatile and subject to rise and fall. However, instead of being under pressure for the dip we should see it in different dimension as investment opportunity that we should leverage to accumulate more Bitcoin and hold for long term to maximize our profit in the future when the price is high.

I also didn't sell all my assets when it hit 109K and I only sold about 10% of my profit and at that time I wanted something that I wanted to buy and the price was very expensive and that happened when Bitcoin price hit 107K and I sold 10% of my profit just to prove that I bought the item from my Bitcoin profit. I only used 10% of the profit and actually I could also afford it if I didn't sell a little profit and this just wanted to prove to my friends that Bitcoin can make what we want come true. Because my goal is not 100K but 1 million, Lol ;D. And I don't feel regret at all because I stick to my long term goal and I also strongly believe that no matter how big the drop is in the end Bitcoin price will go back up even beyond its new high and I believe that, and I also continue to make my regular purchases regardless of the price but the drop that occurs is the best opportunity to collect more Bitcoin and Hodl.

I sold a lot over 100k and have a lot of powder to buy.

I figure we are going under 70k soon.  I have been loading up bigly.

If you are still holding, then hold on tight and don’t sell. Even though you can still get some returns at the current price, you have missed out on bigger gains. You just need to accumulate as much as you can, at least it will give you a better chance of getting higher returns.

Bitcoin price is likely to go lower this month and there is always a worst case scenario. It could go below $70k or closer to $60k, but I really don’t expect that. Recovery takes time and I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. In conclusion, I like your advice and optimism towards bitcoin. Keep holding.

As far as it is Bitcoin, my intention is to keep hodling and not sell till the time Bitcoin reaches my target price. Any other thing apart from that, my mind is at peace with that because I do know that what the market is passing is a phase that will soon pass. I will then see Bitcoin reaching above the ATH we had before. We can now sell if we wish or keep hodling for long. That's all our choice to choose from

Newbies will be selling off at losses now, thinking they are not going to make it, all because of FOMO

But as for people like us, we hold strong until the bitcoin network because there lies our strength as holders of BTC.

When the market falls, you buy more on the dip and hold.

I don’t know why most people do have this kind of mentality, when a coin is pumping, they are always so confident in holding the coin, but immediately the price starts dropping, they will start panicking, and will sell at loss, if you know you are scared, why not just sell when the market is green, why allow it dump before you start thinking about sell, but I will say most people that do this are newbies, because people that have been in crypto space for some time will sell when their is crash in the market.

If you are holding bitcoin for a long term, then you don’t even have to be checking the market frequently, you shouldn’t be monitoring the market, since your target is for long term, and you should make sure you are having emergency funds Incase if anything happens, you don’t have to be selling your coin when you are at loss to solve your problem.

That is why is good to have emergency money you can fall back to and use the money to solve anything that will make you to sell your BTC at loss. You think hodlers just want to sell their BTC in the bear run, during the bull run he or she did not sell BTC and he want to sell now the price has drop to $77k, and there is no way for the hodlers to escape loss.

I don't think I will involve in this kind of condition not to sell BTC in the bull run and later change my mind to sell in the bear, I guess that is the way to loss because you will not be happy with what you will earn from the market.

Today, the price of Bitcoin fell to its lowest level in three months. Although $78k came in a few days ago and rose again to $90k plus. Today, Bitcoin price dropped to $77k. As my plan is long term so not disappointed to see this kind of dumping, I don't plan to sell. Short-term holders may panic and sell at a loss. I still believe we will see another new ATH record this bullrun. Many may panic at such dumping, but it would not be wise to sell at this time. If you hold for long term you can expect more profit, so I would hold in any situation.

Not giving up is good however its not about pursuance and not giving up, its about making money in trading. When the price finally drops to 70k like philipma1957 was saying, I think the only ppeople who are happy in buying back are the ones who didn't think of not giving up but the people who think of accumulating more satoshis.

Sadly, only a portion of my BTC that I sold at 86k. I should have sold them all the way to buy at the bottom. But we are not sure which price is the bottom

It’s actually profitable when one gets to sell at a higher price and buys back at lower price, it give you more bitcoin accumulation. For example someone selling at the $100k price let’s say he holds half a bitcoin (0.5 btc) then buying back at this price ($79k) he will be having something around 0.63 bitcoin which means more bitcoin and if we are to translate it to usd he will be making $13k when the market returns back to the six figure price again. This strategy is ok but one thing is how sure are you that the price you’re selling might not be the least price the market will ever attain in a long period of time?

For me your idea is of selling half is actually great to minimize loss and potentially maximize profits too. But for me I think one who can attain this and doesn’t want to panic sell should simply stick to long term with a take profit target. If your take profit target is $100k take it when it gets there, if it is $120k wait for it to get there and take it, that’s the easiest means to beat a fluctuating Market like this

I'm not a trader but a spender. I don't sell bitcoin to get some fiat and not know what to do with it, I spend it on things that I need, so when bitcoin broke 90k, I bought myself some stuff and I did the same when it broke 100k. Since we broke down below 90k I'm holding. I see no reason to get rid of my BTC. If it goes below 80 or 70 it doesn't matter to me. When we were below 20k in 2023 I was holding because I knew bitcoin was greatly undervalued and that's how it is now.

I've said it many times before. The real reason I hold bitcoin is because there's no way I'd make more money by doing anything else. I remember having $10k in bitcoin in 2016 and knowing that there's literally no way that I'd be able to double that in 3 months through other means. Bitcoin gave me an opportunity and it became my top investment and it's going to stay that way until the end.

So we need to understand that crypto investment is not something we can venture into without comprehending the things that's involved on it, at first we have look at the level of the demands, because its demands that skyrocket the price of bitcoin if I'm not mistaken, so therefore we have to know that cryptocurrency investment is not something someone will venture into with force, you have to know when is the right time to invest

For the aspect of trading, I know quite well that in any crypto trading, the trader has to undergo some training, that will lead the person to know the advantages and the disadvantages of trading, so therefore the trader will know when to enter into trading without making or experiencing a big loss.

Selling is not always a wrong option. What if you have bought bitcoin way back when it was $30k-$40k and it’s only now that you have decided to sell, it’s clear that you will surely end up with huge profits. But if you only bought bitcoin this year, hodling should be the best option. And just continue buying when the market offers a great buy again when btc price suddenly create a sharp decline.

I sell some with it did reach $109k last November. I just took some of my profits to enjoy. And then same in December as well because I needed the money for a very important thing in my life. So we can sell anytime, but at least it has something for the benefit, or if there is an emergency that you needed the money.

Not to sell when you are in the panic mode. This is not the first time that we have seen the price fall below $80k. And then we recover, this is just only March, we still have a lot of months ahead of us to bring the price back to at least $100k.

So when do you take the profit? LOL
Your advice is certainly right - accumulating during dips is highly recommended, that's how to build a bigger portfolio. Each of us has our own portion depending on the availability of budget - so accumulating during dips is still good. If the purpose of this accumulation is for long-term investment - then whatever the value of bitcoin later, then keep holding.

I am not willing to sell now - but would consider selling above $110K. You need to realize that bitcoin has bull and bear cycles - so take advantage of it without missing out on the chance. During bearish cycles - keep accumulating and sell on bullish cycles especially at the top.

That’s the right take investors should be having from these bleeding charts. A lot of us did see Bitcoin at $100k+, of course that’s not so far back but, a month behind if I recall correctly. Bitcoin might have dropped over $20k+ with the price fluctuating around $79k-$90k but, it doesn’t make any sense to be comfortable selling at a loss just because you don’t want to entertain more losses to an asset that is sure to appreciate in due time
All that needs be done is to hold strong.

nah sell on a ladder up.

say 100k 101k 102k 103k 104k 105k 106k 107k 108k 109k

and set a step down buy say

85k

83k
 
81k

79k

77k you got to here so far

75k

73k

71k

69k

OP;
I think it's not a laughing matter, rather we are a speculation board, right?

The issue is quite serious, anyway, years ago on my local board a user sold his BTC to buy his house, end of story with those BTC, and look to the future with new BTC that arrive.

Then the idea is to think that if you need BTC in the short term, you must make decisions that prevent losses, in that idea I think we are in complex times, bitcoin is being influenced by very determining factors, for example, conflicts and a trade war that has just begun.

If you look at those specific situations, we can have "common" hodlers, meaning the "people" in massive sales, which does not affect the immediate price, which can bring "fakes" readings, and that is where short selling affects the price.

 In my opinion, the price will have a consistent floor of +$70 thousand in this first semester and it would not be so bad given the economic circumstances of the countries involved in this trade war dilemma, many of them considered in the top 20 countries that Hodl bitcoin, and not only as a government but in the population.

In that idea(#1); Hodl governments and citizens, the best example is El Salvador, you have two very different points there, the government is pro bitcoin and its citizens in reality do not care, so surely they sell at any time, their bitcoin are for living not for Hodl and/or trade.

And in that idea(#2), there are countries that are linked in the influence of volatility in the price, which is the issue that in a certain way concerns us in the decision making for your question; Are You Really going to Sell?

 Regardless of whether you do it or not right now, you must understand that just thinking about doing it is a privilege, it does not necessarily have to be a bad thing, so the +$109,000 (or +$100,000 that you mention) of its last price should only be seen as a temporary reference undertaken to two primary factors, financial or personal needs.

In the first, financial, if you let it go and you are crying now, it is about not having a correct action plan, since surely this same idea that you come to bring in the simplicity of thought, will happen when bitcoin is at +$200,000.

Then, we have individuals who always wait for the price of bitcoin to 'go to the moon' eternally, and then they have not defined to sell, then they see these prices and cry or come with nervous laughter, and the classic phrase; 'I would have sold'.

 I think when we have these prices the idea of this particular board is to speculate at what price to buy in the highest yield of our USD (or corresponding Fiat) and not the idea of looking at the last price and thinking "I didn't sell".

That said, I still think we can hold up to $70K to support an interesting investment.

It's not time to think about foolishness, it's time for opportunities to invest.

That is not a good decision if you sell Bitcoin in the dips. But if you panic with the current situation, you can not think much and will only sell your Bitcoin immediately. You think that you can buy back when the price is low but even if that is happen, you still not buy any Bitcoin.

The correction will always be there so you must know what you need to do especially when the price achieve the highest price for temporary.

You can still hold your Bitcoin when the price hit the highest price because you have other highest price target you want to reach. I still hold my Bitcoin in this down and buy some satoshis with my profit before. It is good to see we still have the opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin ;D

It can be if you badly need a money and then waiting for more might dip the price again. Apart from panic selling, there must also be those that panic buys. Yeah that those who mostly sell at the dip are having a mindset of buying back at an even lower price and I think they can pull this off but there might be some who are not successful.

There are reasons like the price did not dip and then the money that is supposed to be allocated for purchasing have been spent out already. There is no way to tell the highest price but if the increase seems long and a somehow a lot already, I think we must not wait any longer because we might miss the window of opportunity.

Nothing should be worth anything in my opinion. Because I’m always planning to profit from where I’ll lose. When Bitcoin was above $1000, many people sold Bitcoin. And some people have filled Bitcoin again. Because they know that the price of bitcoin will rise today or tomorrow. So I’ll say those who have held Bitcoin so far wait, insha Allah price will increase. I’ve only saved a small investor I’ve only saved a little bitcoin until 2026. If I lose it, I don’t care.

Selling now will only lead to big loss due to the recent dip in Market , and taken such action ain’t smart at all , like me I haven’t had any thought of selling from my holding any moment for now , you can blame anyone this how the market work you can’t predict it I know some of you will be like, had  I know I would have sold my holding when bitcoin price was in the range of $100k and buy now during this recent dip and the funny thing is that the market can go both ways imagine selling and the surges , you will only end up missing out so is better to keep holding to be in a safer side , better still if you have some funds to spend just keep purchasing the dip .

Long term holders are still in profit if they sold their coins right now.

But, I choose to not sell my coins because I don't any point from it. I still can cover my bills with my monthly salary and I don't have any emergency needs. Let's say Bitcoin price drop to $70K, I still won't sell because like I said before, I don't see any point.

Because, if I sold my Bitcoin to stable coins or fiat, I will not use my money, instead I will use it to buy Bitcoin. Which mean, if I already have Bitcoin in the first place, why I need to sell it at low and buy Bitcoin again? :D

Actually, I was trying to go with a slightly different strategy. For example, I set a target of 120k to sell my Bitcoin holdings and then the fund will I get I will hold them in stable coin then I will wait for the next bear season in the 2026 or 2027 and there I will invest all of my profit amounts on bitcoin again and then again I will wait for the next bull season to get the maximum profit. But in reality, the market goes to opposite when it touch 109k.

But I am still hoping for the best market will do recover and I think also that market is doing the same activity what it done before on the 2021 on the june month you will find that correction the chart before making the 69k ATH price in the previous bull season.

If I were asked this question personally, I would straight up answer without thinking that I am not thinking about selling my investments at the moment. I have seen bitcoin price go to lows and bitcoin price go to highs so I have a belief in the market and with this belief I will hold my investment for a longer period of time. I invest in such a way that I don't have to sell my investment later. There are many people who invest more money than they can afford but when they need money they sell their investment, I think this method does not really fulfill the real purpose of investment. I will invest small amount if necessary but I will not sell easily the amount I invest. If I invest little by little and if this investment is continued for a long time then I believe that over time this small investment will turn into a very big account.

Unless there is an emergency and there is no other solution, there is nothing wrong with selling bitcoin at the current price. But it would be a mistake if we didn't sell when bitcoin was above $100k and still hadn't reached the target, then sell at this point. It's not just about the losses from ATH, it also shows that we are panicking and no longer have confidence in our own initial decisions.

With what is going on, it is hard to say whether this is just a correction in the bull cycle or we have entered the bear season. But I think, if we are determined not to sell any bitcoin below $100k, we should prepare a plan for the worst case scenario to avoid panic selling if that happens.

Very good statement, i really agree with you, those who bought Bitcoin (BTC) from the beginning of last year or 2 years ago would have benefited if they still held it until now, even though the price has decreased, but their accumulated portfolio must still be in a state of profit. This is different from those who just bought Bitcoin this year, especially buying above $100k, they don't have much choice but to hold it until it at least returns to the price point where they bought it.

The point is there is nothing wrong with selling Bitcoin, each of us has a different trading plan, different needs, can't be said to be stupid. Those who say it's a foolishness maybe he bought at a high price, trying to find people who are in the same boat as him, how sad, lol.

The irony of this is how many people had the nerve to sell when Bitcoin was at ≈ $110,000? We were all scared, this is more evident with the way Bitcoin was charging higher to the bullish side and also was fighting back to hit higher highs after a little correction.

Nonetheless, many must have been profitable from some subsequent sell-offs, it never did that at once, the market had the perfect pattern for selling later, so many would seize the opportunity as always.

And selling now, well, care is advised, Bitcoin looks too cheap/oversold at this point, so let's be careful.

It is more profitable for me to hold at the period than to sell due to lack of information and research about the market performance, while some are there carrying fake news about on market manipulations, some are there busy making some interesting facts about the market chart performance, knowing that we just got to observe a double bottom market reaction and nothing more, while some are thinking otherwise in lack of information.

We are also holding Bitcoin and have not yet decided to sell it during the dip period, because it is normal for the Bitcoin market to dip. We should see this dip market as an opportunity for more Bitcoin investment, because it is best to buy and use this dip to increase the holding of Bitcoin investment.
Because we do Bitcoin investment without the DCA method, I did not buy this dip at the current time, I bought the dip two weeks ago. And I have been holding Bitcoin with the aim of this fertilizer market from 2028 to 2029, because I believe that the longer the Bitcoin investment, the more successful it will be.

This goes back to your goal in investing in bitcoin. If you are investing for the long term, the current market turmoil will certainly not shake your belief in holding bitcoin. Market volatility like this is common in the crypto world, even those who understand bitcoin for the future, a decline like this will be used as a moment to buy at a cheaper price and hold it because usually after the decline bitcoin will rise again.

So it is very important in investing in bitcoin to have a target and strategy so that whatever happens to the market today does not change your decision to hold on until the target is reached. I myself am still holding bitcoin because my target is for the long term.

Only noobs are the ones who do really make out such action on which they will really be that still panicking out at the time or moment that the market will really be making out such decline of price. For those who have been here on this market for a while then they are really that getting used to these movements, but somewhat there are still some old timers who are really that still making out some panic whenever they do experience up such movement. Whereas, they have been able to experience these things since they have step their foot into this market. Actually its just normal to have such actions on which we know that whenever the price dips then this is the best time to accumulate more and not making up that panic sell. People do commit out such mistakes at the time that they will really be setting out themselves and being controlled with their emotions.

For those who do have that high trust with Bitcoin or with their holdings then instead on trying out to sell, they would rather be accumulating even more on which they do know that they can be able to make have that kind of benefit or advantage at the time that the market will really be having that recovery. The most common mistake of most people is that they do become that too optimistic that the price will be continuing to price increase on which they arent that even thinking on what are those potential that the price do make outu some corrections and retracement too and this what makes them disappointed.

For now, although the price of Bitcoin has begun to fall on the level of $ 79K but I remain optimistic about the existing speculation, I am sure this decline is not sustainability, we will see again where the highest point price we will see in the middle of this year, I am sure that.

For this reason, I don't need to sell and panic now, even though the current market situation is turning red, but I am optimistic that the actual price will occur in the near future, basically: Everyone Having its own speculation under these circumstances, panic will bring us to the current huge losses, try to be patient and commit to our own speculation.

It's no big deal and I won't encourage anyone to sell but rather take advantage of the market, those who have experience in holding for a long period should already understand the situation on ground and instead of selling I believe they'll buy more cause it's the right thing to do at this point, Bitcoin us undergoing correction and anyone selling now would be selling at loss that's why it's important to continue holding or add more to what one is holding, I could remember sometime ago last year when Bitcoin dropped to $48k and afterwards we saw the price race to $100k that's something similar that would likely occur and this time around we could see it head past $150k to 200 when the price that's surging, those who sell now would begin to regret by then.

Such volatility is never something to be afraid of, because it is normal. For those who see this dip period as an opportunity, and make full use of it, this volatility brings more profit potential. Bitcoin will never be stuck in this dump, it will definitely move forward more quickly.

You will definitely achieve a lot of good things as you are moving towards the long-term goal, because Bitcoin's future potential is much stronger, and it is capable of going to a much better level after the next 6 to 8 years. Volatility is short-term, so do not damage the long-term potential due to short-term volatility. Because many investors have been deprived of long-term profits by being afraid of this short-term volatility.

imagine you bought bitcoin at $100k and you sold it at the current price ($83k) then you say bitcoin is a scam - fraud and all that then you are an idiot lol.

once again I emphasize, the price of bitcoin will continue to be volatile, you will not find the price of bitcoin stable and unchanged, if you buy today then you will have long-term profits because history continues to emphasize the price of bitcoin which continues to increase, remember that history never lies, therefore be a diamond hand.

The math is on everyone who already owns Bitcoin. If the person who owns Bitcoin is at $100,000, then now is not the time to sell, but to buy back in. Later when Bitcoin price goes back to the $100,000 level that it is trading at per coin in the market, it will at least cover and even be profitable.
This also includes the concept of buying low and selling high. How is OP?

A big loss it will be for whoever decides to sell now. The market was already getting saturated and many people who had the benchmark of $100K moved their prices further and wanted to see if Bitcoin could reach $150K, but unfortunately it hasn’t gotten there before the massive drop to what the price is now. If you were patient not to sell at that price and was still patient and watching it going down in price, subsequently you should also wait for it to recover. The biggest mistake is selling now when you know you had the chance to sell higher and didn’t. They say that the bullish trend is not over, so having patient till the market recovers is the best thing to do now.

If you have a well-considered approach to investing in bitcoin, it is not so much about the willpower, but about the system you put in place for yourself to ease the stress or eliminate it altogether because you have priced in possible volatility all along the way you are holding bitcoin. These price swings, albeit being quite intense recently, are as old as bitcoin itself. That is why bitcoin is not suited for short-term investing and if you take this rule into account and don't use money you may need in a couple of weeks, why bother about bitcoin going down if you still think it has value according to your own analysis or according to an analysis of a person you studied and whose opinion you respect, understand and believe in.

It is a two ways thing.

• Sell now and not regret later when the price goes further down.
• Sell now and regret later when the price goes even higher

Now, I want you to be more afraid;

• Sell now because we have entered the bear market.

Let me give you hope;

• Don't sell, we will see even 300k in this cycle.

Do you now see that your destiny is in your hands.

I think before investing in crypto you need to know about the crypto market well because the crypto market is not stable and always goes up and down. You need to research your market well and then make the right decision. The price of bitcoin has decreased a lot compared to before in that case if you sell now you will lose a lot so don't give up wait patiently, the market will recover again. If you sell now you will make a mistake have faith and wait patiently you will get better results from this.

That will be your choice if you want to sell at a low price and that will be your loss. But if you can hold Bitcoin tight and not care with the market situation, you will see the price will increase and hit the high price.

The dip is annoying and that is for sure. But the dip come to the market and give us more opportunity to buy back at lower price. That help us to accumulate more Bitcoin and we should happy to see that.

Yes, we must stay strong because we have the same reason which want to sell our Bitcoin at the highest price. So we must still hold our Bitcoin and never give up with the situation. Just prepare yourself for the coming of the highest price.

Researching the market first before deciding to invest in crypto is certainly a very important thing to do and it will certainly help them to decide to start or have to postpone investing for various reasons depending on themselves and most importantly in investing in Bitcoin we must have funds that we can hold in the long term.
For now, it would be better to keep holding assets in the long term and if our financial condition is in good condition, it would be better for us to take advantage of this condition to buy it and not sell it in a declining condition.

Yes, I agree, indeed the feeling of panic is very natural or common to every investor but not with experienced ones, experienced ones know exactly when to sell their assets, they are better able to control their emotions and not be carried away by fear or panic to sell their assets. their investment plan has not reached the desired target and they understand their long-term investment goals very well. Yes, for those who already have experience, of course this is the best moment or golden opportunity to continue to accumulate much more.

Knowledge => determination in your actions.
An investor who knows why he is doing X will never shake his hands in doing so, or if there is a plan to follow, even if he may be wrong.

Agreed, panic has become a normal thing for new investors due to the volatility of Bitcoin, and due to this panic, investors make wrong decisions and fall further behind. In fact, they need to understand that this kind of market fluctuation is a normal thing, just like an experienced investor never panics, and tries to buy more when the price drops, similarly a new investor needs to understand that this market never dumps permanently, it increases more after the dump, that is why you should buy more during the dump instead of selling. Always think long term, if you panic due to short term volatility and make wrong decisions, you will lose long term opportunities.

BTC is still volatile.
And all the rest of the people should understand that and understand the fact that BTC is scarce and will become more scarce as time goes on.
And that's why, in the long-term - it's going to be alright.

That is the importance of understanding bitcoin investment that people who invest their money in bitcoin need to have a long-term investment mindset and not sell when they are in a loss position. Bitcoin is volatile and that is its nature, therefore people who invest their money in bitcoin must understand the risk and not panic when they are in a loss position. The price of bitcoin will go up, it just takes time, and in that case one should never sell because bitcoin will definitely go up. Just stay away from the noise of the market, and focus on long-term investment.

Why are we so bothered about the dip, it only last for a while. The price will go back to what it used to be and it will still even go higher. I believe that anyone who has invested in Bitcoin up to a year should not care about the fluctuation or price swings.

Funny enough i have never been weak because of price wings. I am in a state where i am angry that i do not have more discretionary income to invest into Bitcoin now the price has dipped. It hurts that  buying on dips has always been one of my greatest target and now i go the chance but i cant.

Of course, BTC is going to become scarcer over time. Yet I still don’t understand why many people think BTC is a scam. Bitcoin is inherently volatile. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin. In my opinion, now is the time for investors. If someone sells now because of the downtrend in the market, they will not only lose money, but also an opportunity. Bitcoin will soon reach a new ATH.

So instead of selling Bitcoin now, let’s set a goal and save for the long term.

Your destiny will actually be determined on the decisions you’ve made now and not in the hands of anyone that you can put the blame on later. In situations like this, tough decisions are what needs to be taken, risking it will be the best thing to do at this point but weighing the options should be considered first before jumping into conclusions of risking it all. The market is very volatile and unpredictable, once you can’t tell what the price of bitcoin will be in hours from now, that means you can’t also tell what it’ll be in the future. So have hope and remain optimistic of the outcome.

Not that so as long as it's still above the buying price, maybe a year or more ago.

Those who didn't sell at $100k want some more, and it is essential to see these reds. From the past, we've got a bunch of it before we see some greens.

No one's giving up, this is still going to be a long battle for those that have been holding for so long. And some I think have decided that there is no exit here.

Once you do step your foot into this market then you will definitely needing up to know on what are the things on which you are really that dealing into. You cant really just that dive in without having any awareness on how this market moves or on how it do behaves.  Are you going to sell? It will really be that up to you on how you do make out adjustments but at the time that you will really be seeing declining prices then it will really be that up to you whether you would be selling out your position or you would really be accumulating even more. There are those times or moments that you would be skeptical on whats happening specially if the drop is really that too much. There are those times or conditions on which you will really be trying out to find out on whats happening but we do know that this market is unpredictable. Any movement on which there's no way that we can know about into the cause of such drops. So it will really be that wont be making yourself easily panic.

Enough with the capital of knowledge knowing the Bitcoin market cycle, I think it will make the two -way thinking more relaxed. Even happily will welcome the price decline.
When they dare to take risks to coins that are not yet clear where the future direction, why should be restless in the future of Bitcoin that the world has recognized as his king.

If you hold your Bitcoin for long time I believe that your bitcoin you hold will make you to have more profit in life so I believe that Bitcoin holding bitcoin for a long time is a very big profit but regretting your action of not to say when the price is high is also a personal decision but nobody no that has the price is falling today and tomorrow the price may increase or double more than what you are regretting now holding of Bitcoin is never be regrettable something until the price of Bitcoin crash because bitcoin does not have any regulation it can increase at any point in time, how many people has wrote Bitcoin for long time and me to profit through holding of Bitcoin so neither bitcoin prices for them or the prices increasing it is better for we to hold it for long time

Focusing on Bitcoin which is the crypto that I believe you are referring to,  I think newbies are all aware about how the market does not remain in one cycle the price goes up and down that tells you how volatile the Bitcoin is as the price is never stable, if you have invested in Bitcoin before having this knowledge about the market there is no need to worry your money is safe it you don't hurry to sell now they the price of Bitcoin is down, leave the money you have invested and give it a little time untill the price hits 100k and above when you must have realized your profit then you can sell. Remember if you sell now and the price goes up tomorrow you will blame yourself for not being patient.

And in one point, we'll still have that plan to sell after we meet that long term.

We cannot stop the others if they are planning to sell even if it goes to $85k and $90k thinking that it won't be back up to $100k. But as you've said, we have to be away from the noise that this market creates because it only sends us the message that we're not yet prepared for another high. Those that are losing their focus with the distraction in the market needs to do better job for themselves by controlling more their emotions.

Selling depends on investors heart when they think is right for them you would see that selling it, but when there are no changes you wouldn't selling so cheap rather they could buy more to increase their portfolio against the market gains it's recover plan.
Most times what also makes people sell is as results of not having spare cash or reserved money to be spending while.

The willpower and determination that prevented you from selling your Bitcoin investment for $100,000 should still be applied, otherwise you will have to sell at a loss, which can cause you more pain. The current situation of the Bitcoin market does not allow us to understand where this situation will go next. However, since many influential people are commenting very well on Bitcoin, it is expected that Bitcoin will definitely achieve a good position. Now we must hold on to our Bitcoin investment, there is no other way. However, if we can hold on to our Bitcoin investment at this time, the results of holding on will definitely be good.

But sadly, not many people do that, most just jump into the market without doing any research first and invest on the advice of others. That's why there's always panic every time bitcoin price corrects significantly and i don't think this will go away.


I agree that we should not sell at this point but I also don't feel there is anything wrong if someone decides to sell as long as they have made a profit.

As we all know, bitcoin is very volatile and unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that bitcoin will return to $100k or reach an all-time high this year. So as long as they don't lose money and are satisfied with the profit they made, they have the right to sell now. We cannot compare bitcoin's highest ATH and say we will lose because we sold at the current price.

Like most of us believe bitcoin will reach 1 million dollars in the future, why don't we wait until then to sell bitcoin, why do we sell it when it only reaches 150k or 200k?

They deserve it if they don't research the area they try to profit from, imo.

With knowledge comes confidence  8)

Meaning, if the person is in need of money to solve important things he or she should not sell BTC because the price has dropped from $100k? What if the condition money is the only solution for the person to be alive, you mean the person should continue hodling the BTC. That is why we keep telling people to have other sources of income when hodling BTC because it will help them to overcome any condition that will make them to sell BTC in the low price, but if you don't have other sources of income, there is no option than to sell at loss.

Don't sell in this current price if you know you hodl BTC when the price was $100k and you refuse to sell before the price drop to $81k, don't sell because there will be another bull run before the end of this year.

Will not consider selling at a loss, especially since we have seen Bitcoin above $100k which is much talked about and has become a target for some investors long before Bitcoin reached that price.
The decline that occurred is actually an opportunity for us to buy again. Even if we don't buy, we will still be strong enough to hold Bitcoin with confidence that it will surpass ATH. Older holders have experience in this.

Common people are known for buying and selling at wrong times like they ignore to buy at dips but decide to sell and vice versa is true as well. These are usual incidents of every market conditions and I agree that people who are into bitcoin investments for years to decade do always stay confident about recovering at all dips. The current dips are like life time opportunity for investors to make good returns hence personally I am into DCA and I never consider about selling at any dips.

End of year is too far away. I am expecting prices to close above 90k levels for this March month and the second quarter of this year could be different like we may see a new ATH in April month most likely.

Selling at a loss is the most foolish thing to do, is this dumping permanent? Will it never recover? Or will it just keep going down? History has proven that Bitcoin has reached new heights after falling strongly several times. And those who have been holding for the last 7-8 years, they know this very well. And that is why those who have past experience, they never get scared of such dumping, because they have seen such dumps countless times, so they are used to them. .
So those who are new investors, they should also understand the right thing, newbies may not be experienced in such dumping, so they can easily get scared of this dumping. But if they could understand the right thing and understand the real potential of Bitcoin, they would never get scared of such dumping, but rather they would try to buy more at such times.

That's the basic in crypto investment, buy low sell high and don't sell at a loss. Even though our wallet or portfolio are going down, we are actually, not losing any, and that's what we call paper loss only.

The decline in price even in a bull run is just part of the market. For others this is a great experience, at least you are being tested and if you pass and didn't sell then good. It will make you a better or smart investor. And as you have said, instead of seeing it's negative effect, why not look at the other side and become positive by continuing to buy and accumulate more. You will be happy if you did that because if we look at the bigger picture, there are still a big chance that the price is going to increase in the future and we will see that 6 digits again.

Yes. It will be different when you suddenly need money while there are no reserve funds and emergency funds are not prepared. Maybe this context will be different. Usually investors have prepared several financial posts before investing. Funds for investment will be plotted specifically with a predetermined percentage. So will other designated funds so that they will be ready to face it without having to sell Bitcoin at the wrong time.

Ideally, it is like that for the long term. We have to prepare several budget plots when we need money, we don't have to sell bitcoin. But again, it depends on your investment goals because everyone must have different investment goals and targets. Although all budgets have their own plots, when they have reached their goals, they sell and wait for another correction and then buy it again so that the profits can be used to buy it back.

I am one of those who did not sell when bitcoin reached $ 107k, especially now that the price of bitcoin has dropped to $ 83k, of course it will not be sold. I still stick with bitcoin because the goal is long term and of course bitcoin will recover. Even at times like this, continuing to do DCA is the best method. But back to the beginning, a strategy like this must have a budget plot as you have mentioned.

That is why it is very important to keep a reserve fund and an emergency fund ready. But these things are avoided by an investor in the first place, they do not consider them to be very important, but when they are faced with such a situation, they can understand their real importance.
But at that moment they have no other choice, and they have to sell their holdings and face losses.
That is why when an investment is started, attention should be paid to every aspect, because if the investment strategy is not correct, financial solvency may be disrupted, as a result, the holdings may have to be sold at any time, which will cause a big loss.
So you have to plan properly, use the right strategy, and take all kinds of preparations for emergency situations. As a result, you will be able to sustain your investment for the long term and will definitely be profitable.

Bitcoin has already reached $100k before but it's below $90k now, which means this little dip is an opportunity to buy more figures of Bitcoin and hold because it will skyrocket again in future. However those that sold their Bitcoin because they ones made a little profit from the period Bitcoin was $100k are the ones that have lost already. So if one is still holding his bitcoin, he better continue holding it than selling it. Although investors with short term perspectives might sell their coins because they are scared of loss meanwhile they have already lost by sell now.
So my point is anyone who's having a decent or little figures of Bitcoin on their portfolio should continue holding it cause the bigger pictures of Bitcoin is not yet seen.

Those who have made significant profits will sell them. But those who are just starting out and only make a little profit will prefer to hold their Bitcoin.
Moreover, the decline is also not too big, maybe not enough to cause panic for most Bitcoin holders who do have long-term plans. We have seen Bitcoin over $100k. In the future, we will see higher prices, and that is what all Bitcoin holders are expecting right now.

For any investor to sell due to lack of confidence is only a display of inexperience in cryptocurrency, because the same market that has been bearish have on several occasions turned bullish at the same time, which makes it more more of what is needed to be held for some time before we can take any decision on releasing them for being afraid of what it may turned to, we should not see a bear market as what can last long, because after it comes the bull market and all those losses are being recovered back again together with the accrued interest, with an understanding, if we get the idea that the market will always rise if we hold, no matter the challenges, then it will all turned a profitable investment to us when another season to pump it arrives and we see how it has been performing.

I'm not selling a penny, I'm a HODLER means holding my bitcoin for my life. Don't Invest which you need to withdraw in case of your need / emergency. By this I'm keeping my Bitcoin without any issue. And doing DCA constantly. I'm compounding my BTC not looking at Fiat.

Robert kiyosaki inspires me a lot. His words "Paper money is trash , Gold is Gods money". I apply it on bitcoin.

This concept is what all Bitcoin investors or all prospective Bitcoin investors must be willing to apply because with such a concept, at least they can keep their investments safe and not be disturbed when they suddenly need money in life. I have also been applying this kind of thing to myself for a long time and it still continues to this day because this method really helps me in investing in Bitcoin and never sacrificing it if there are still funds that I can use to solve every problem in this life.

We never like bearish market, especially those who hold Bitcoin. We always want the Bitcoin market to be green. But the reality is that after a price increase, there is a correction. It is really strange that we were able to hold Bitcoin when it was at its highest level but when the market is going down, we get excited. We must control our emotions in such a situation. Those who cannot hold themselves in this fall will never be able to see a good price in Bitcoin. To invest in Bitcoin, you need to have faith in it, not only for a long time. You need to have the ability to hold Bitcoin in any situation.

Even when I want to sell I wouldn't sell cheap and it must be based on my investment plan and not because the market prompt it. The long term plans stops us from worrying what direction the price is going, that even in reds we rather see opportunity for buy than worry. People with short term plan should be the ones getting worked up with the dip right now because they all expected another ATH just after the $109k but that's not happening in their way. If the goal is for long then hodling shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, that feeling is natural, the thought of selling at a high price will always be reminded of "why not sell it at that time", hahaha that is a habit that we always do when the price has a difference of $ 1k for example or does not set a price at its peak, that thought will always be there.

But our target is not that yet, far in the future it is brighter and how we will celebrate our victory finally, my price target is 2x that price, exactly $ 200k, and today it is better to collect again and again, I have a collection plan if bitcoin is below $ 80k, it feels good for me to continue last year's DCA which was stopped because bitcoin soared in price.

You are not alone. We find it funny, but this is the real thing that happens to everyone due to greediness. Everyone believes that more pumps come and miss the chance.

Honestly, we are not learning yet from the past bull run and the volatility itself. We always think that once pumps come, they will continue to pump like no end. Unfortunately, the market is not working that way, and still, the volatility of the market exists.

No matter how many times we have this situation, it won't change. Greed still dominates in our minds.

Of course any one who didn't sell when Bitcoin was $109k would be very annoyed and may even be regretting All this while expecialy having a lot money invented in Bitcoin. But however those people who would be annoyed about the dip in price of Bitcoin may just be the short term investor who doesn't want to HODL for UpTo 2 or 3 circle but they only have plans for each circle.
So let's consider this as an opportunity to accumulate more instead of thinking about the loses. The loses would definitely be recovered over time since it is not gambling where you play and you chances of win is %50 50.

Recently I started having second thoughts on what is the fate of bitcoin but of course I'm in this community that gives me more courage to hold more than I would have hold if I wasn't here, threads like this have kept me going.

Since I didn't sell for so long I don't think I will be selling now that it's pretty confirmed that we are just in the boring first five months before a big pump.

Reasons investors refused to sell then during $100k price range is because they still want to hold else what exactly is the reason. Not all investors has gotten to a high level when accumulating bitcoin, some just started their journey while others still want more. Selling now all depends on an investor portfolio meanwhile buy and hold should be the real goal, only traders take risky moves like selling now because they’re in pursuit of quick profit not minding the loss involve.

I'm not sure about the others but I have sold Bitcoin over $100k and at $95k and that made me some good profits but I've bought it back during the dip when it was at $80k. Those who know the market often sell and buy again and make profit by doing that. I also placed a short order at $110k but I cancelled that order! ;)

Sometimes selling is not just because you invested more than you can live without but it could also be out of how frustrated the holder have turn out to be due to how the market is moving and being uncertain of what comes next and not also being prepared for it could lead some to selling below the price they have seen before, some might consider such action to be a stop lose action instead of losing entirely they reduce the risk and prepare for buyback which don’t happen sometimes.

Are You Really going to Sell?
Bro that is not a loss this is the time to buy more, :) what do you think? fair enough haha

If you buy bitcoin at 60K or 70K, you basically still at profit right now and if you consider yourself as a HODLER than this correction is basically needed to support a long term growth.
if you buy at peak than there is an option with DCA dollar cost average, big institution also use this method

The market aren't funny anyway but selling now would be a very regretful lost and shouldn't try to sell our holding now instead we can accumulate more and expect the market to bounce back as quickly as possible, though this isn't the beginning of the bear run but rather the market is only trying to gain correction to push so harder when bouncing back and of course if this doesn't happened there wouldn't be any possibility to cross the 109k ATH.

If you have held on since when price reached the present ATH and didn't sale I don't think that it'll make any sense to sale now, except you're in a dire need of money. I believe that we're not done yet with the bull run, this could be a major dip compared to the ATH price but I know that Bitcoin has the potentials to rally and surpass the current ATH. Patience is a virtue if you're holding Bitcoin, since nobody can manipulate price beyond a very short time, there is need to hold and wait till price touches where you want it to. If you're not in a hurry to take profit now, I don't think that there's any reason to worry about this unpleasant dip in the middle of bull run. Take the opportunity to stack your bag for higher ROI when price skyrockets.

It must be included in the initial planning stage of reserve money and emergency money. The concept of investment is indeed long-term, not short-term. The target must be clear, don't just be a temporary savings that will be sold at the right time.

Selling Bitcoin at the current market price is a bad move because the current situation is an opportunity to buy. From our ongoing discussion, we are providing beginners with information on when is the right time to buy and sell.

You know when you are that prepared over your investment it would make you to allow your investment last longer and this connotes that you must have something else doing to fetch you additional income even without you have to go pull of your investments, having emergency funds or cushion funds makes us to prepare ahead of our investment for longer term without the need to rush and sell when there are any little change in percentage or prices.

That is a very smart move you made there, selling when the price reached $100k and rebuying when there is a DIP is a very good practice unlike people who sold and never buy back again or use the money for other things but however, if you also plan to hodl for a long time there won't be need to sell because since the price of bitcoin increases over time, you will eventually make a lot of profit in the future then another thing is also not selling because the price it getting high, but when you have met your target of accumulation and you are waiting for a perfect time to sell.

Those who did not sell Bitcoin even after the Bitcoin price reached 100k have definitely started believing that Bitcoin will reach even higher at 100k. But those who did not sell after 100k but sold at 80k have definitely panicked. And it will definitely be difficult for such investors to hold their assets.

In the case of Bitcoin, if a long-term plan is made, it is also possible to reduce the risk. Now selling or holding depends entirely on the wish of an investor and his plan. It will definitely be difficult for those who are trying to trade Bitcoin. Personally, I will try to hold as much as I can. I will try to be firm in my plan without taking risks in the upward and downward trends of Bitcoin, which will help me accumulate Bitcoin without any pressure.

That should always be the plan, go for long term, as this is the best for us. We don't want to sell during panic, we wanted to sell when there is calm so that you can maximized profits. And I think this has been preach to us by prior Bitcoiners not to panic sell but instead just keep our composure or even buy when there is a correction. Only problem that that I see during dip is that maybe some of us doesn't have the capital to buy.

Just like when the price goes down to $78k again and if you have the money and buy then you will have instant profit already as we are in the $85k and it seems that the price will continue to go up at least till the end of the month.

Well I was bored I grabbed a few hundred dollars at 83 or 84 k


I sold a good amount in the 102-109k range

I have a lot of cash sitting  ready to buy

I make sure to buy some each week even if we are not under 80k

It is a guessing game when to fold the cash back in.

But I do mine and add coin that way so keeping cash on hand will work for paying the mining power bill.

Hoping to grow my btc bigger this year.

Since I have invested in Bitcoin, I will definitely keep it for a long time, because the price of Bitcoin touched $109k and from there it is currently up to $84k. So now those who will sell Bitcoin are basically weak hands because weak holders are the only ones who are deprived of willpower.
However, in this current season, it is the season to hold on to Bitcoin more, the current dip is the most important moment to collect Bitcoin. Since those who have held Bitcoin since the past are currently holding on tighter, and those who are wise holders are basically collecting more Bitcoin. So this season is the season to hold on to Bitcoin.

If we are people who have been playing on the bitcointalk forum for a long time, of course the decline in bitcoin is not a burden in crypto investment, Recently there has been a very significant decline so that it has returned to $ 80k. The current decline is indeed very annoying but this will not continue for long, the situation will improve after the correction ends.

In a situation like this, I still keep some assets even though the price is no longer as desired, Before investing in the crypto world, of course, we must understand further the advantages and disadvantages that we will face so that we know there are price movements in the fluctuating crypto market so let the market run as it is, we need to be patient to get a profit that the market wants to recover in the near future.

Me too when I have doubts about the market, I will just open the forum and start readings replies from some members that have being in Bitcoin from the early days of Bitcoin because they have the best experience to learn from. I look at some old thread that are now iconic and read the replies that were doubting Bitcoin and begin to ask myself if they are still alive and seeing how well Bitcoin has done. I fear to belike those people so instead of selling, I keep on hodling knowing that one day, it will be worth all the pain I endure when the market was falling. Selling when the market is falling is the worst mistake that you can make. It is better you sell when the market is bullish so you can buy again when he market goes bearish.

Absolutely this is what it is made up of, and the continuous rise and fall shouldn't cause us to panic because there's always a good outcome of everything. I was pushed to sell when it actually got high and I had to hold back having calculated the entire risks I'm taking and the losses it'll definitely generate. So for now I think holding and holding is what is the order for the day and I'm not holding vs j cause if I sell now I'll sell in loss.

Right now is indeed not a good time to sell what has been bought in the past, especially if it is Bitcoin, because the current price is still a fairly low price to sell it. So buying again over time before there is an increase in price is a pretty good option at this time because the price is still relatively low and the plan you are running is also a very good plan if it is to hold Bitcoin. But for the others I think it is okay to sell as long as the proceeds are used again to buy Bitcoin at the current price.

I see nothing wrong if some investors fail to sell their bitcoin when bitcoin was above $100k; most of them are still in their accumulation process, or they haven't accumulated the quantity of bitcoin they had in mind to accumulate at the beginning of their investment, while some investors are yet to hold their bitcoin to the year they wish to sell their bitcoin, so it was difficult for such investors to sell their bitcoin even when bitcoin was above $100k. Bitcoin is not a stable coin. It is natural that the price of bitcoin will drop at some point, so investors should not be forced into selling their bitcoin at a loss since the price of bitcoin is not in a bullish state now.

I'm not really afraid of lossing as bitcoin has been on a dip streak because I invested what I can do without for a long term and that's just the feeling that I won't be over bothered if eventually bitcoin goes way dipper than I thought it would go and as long as anyone here also invested what they can afford to do without in a long time they are good to go with the dips. Yet I know for sure that bitcoin will still rise even after all the sideways movement just a 5 months of boring flow then boom bitcoin will pump again.

I used to wonder what exactly I will selling for? fiat ? Gold ? what exactly so I just forget about anything concerning selling instead I have at least achieved to bag some stash at 95k 88k even 77k so I'm pretty sure selling is not in my dictionary anymore I replaced that with Hodlmv

And that's why they need to have a more holding perspective now, the market is not bullish right now, but won't the market be bullish? The market will definitely be bullish, but until then those who fail to hold their holdings, will sell at a loss at this time and regret it in the future (when the market is bullish again).
Bitcoin is not a stable currency, Bitcoin is down now, but it will be bullish again very soon, and will go much higher than $100K, maybe $150K or $200K or much more. That's why set long-term goals, just focus on long-term possibilities, not in short-term fluctuations, and just move forward consistently. Bitcoin will never stop at one place. At the next momentum, Bitcoin will move at rocket speed.

It is fine to quit and sell if you are in at 60k A coin or less.

It is still profitable.

but if your cost average for coin is 85k or more it is stupid to quit.


this is very general set of rules with exceptions to it.

in fall of 22 I sold coins at a 50k loss on purpose.

but it was still mining and in the usa a 50k loss carries over forever and since I added a ton of coin later from 22 to 25 via mining I was able to sell 30k at a profit of 15k that profit will be tax free and I still have 35k in loss for my future mining cap gain profits.

that is a lot of complex usa tax law.

and goes way beyond simple reasons for selling at a loss.

You do have a point over here and, a good strategic planning is that needed to have a long lasting investment projection and if not properly planned one could likely be in haste to either close or quit their investments for personal financial reasons since they aren't that properly planned for other source of income rather than totally depending on their investment to yield the profits. Sometimes having a backup funds, reserved funds or such as emergency funds as you said is that valuable and could protects our investment for longer term than our usual time if we don't have that urgencies to go quit our investments.

Just like I previously said. Bitcoin should at all time be considered as a long term investment, I mean that’s the only way one can truly avoid the temptation of selling or even buying at the wrong time. Some people often feel there’s a right time to buy and sell, but this is the trader’s mentality and not that of an investor, because an investor is always more concerned about the market’s movements in the long term (at least 4-5 years and above) as it’s easier to predict the performance of Bitcoin within its cycle rather than its short term volatility.

Those who are patient even after reaching the highest ATH, that is, do not sell. I think they should wait more. We actually worry when the market rises and we worry when the market falls. When the price rises, we get overexcited and think that the price will rise further, and when the price falls, we overthink that the price will fall further, and we think that the price will fall further. We think that we will lose everything. Thinking all this, we sell and face losses.

Actually, I think that the one who sells cannot be the king, only the king can hold on. However, if someone wants to buy and sell at half the current price, then they can gradually sell some parts and take profit, but it would not be right to sell everything.

Selling Bitcoin should not be seen as a crime because without buying and selling, Bitcoin is useless. The problem I have noticed is that most of you seems to only see Bitcoin from the angle of money and not on the use case. Assuming we cherish the use case of Bitcoin, then there would have encouragement for people to use Bitcoin in paying for goods and services which in reality involves selling of Bitcoin. The only part I consider bad is selling Bitcoin with the intention of quick profits or selling at a loss thinking you want to avoid further losses when you would have made more profits if you held longer.

Sure, everyone has the right to sell or to keep their Bitcoin. Each person may have a different need and different goal, not everyone can hold for a long time. So, it is fine if some people only wants to hold a short time. Regarding using Bitcoin for paying goods or services, we can't force all people. In some countries, it is still illegal to use Bitcoin as a payment tool. Here, we can't spend Bitcoin for paying goods or services, we only can hold for investment. I personally assume that contributing in Bitcoin can be in varied ways.

This lmao. Well, I reckon I can confidently say this only because I have some leeway. I reckon some people who've invested only during the peak would probably not m ind that much of a loss if it means c utting early losses. And hey, I reckon if they know what they're doing, they'd come back the moment the market makes it turn forward. Sadly I don't think that's going to happen within the next few months. Probably 3 months at least that we're going to stay at these levels before it goes up.

To each their own I say.

Nothing wrong about that but seeing this current price in the market, I guess something is wrong when the investor decided to sell now because it will not help the investor to earn big profits from the market. If you are accumulating BTC, I don't think is wrong because you are not selling now and even though the price pump above $100k you will still be buying BTC and hodl for long years before you can sell in the high price that will double your profits.

I know some investors that are not using the method of DCA to accumulate BTC will not buy BTC now, because the price is too high for them to use that small capital to buy BTC, than to wait for the bear market to occur before they can buy which is a wise decision for category of investors in this line.

There should be a determination to hold Bitcoin when some traders are determined to trade and are in the wrong. I would rather call this a major correction than a decline and it is a picture of the market situation naturally. Rather than getting upset with the Bitcoin price decline, you should show a tendency to buy more. Suppose you have an insufficient fraction of Bitcoin, the decision to sell it will be such that you will lose. If you do not fear investing and continue to buy during the bearish period, you can make huge profits with the potential increase in holdings. I am still buying regularly and will again cross $100k and another ATH.

For investors whose portfolios are still showing red, the recommendation is to continue buying more and continue to turn green and at the same time make profits. The green signals we should evaluate when holding Bitcoin are to check the probability of your past price so that it reflects the future based on assumptions and reality.

I totally get your point, and no one said selling bitcoin is a crime or wrong, what is wrong is selling bitcoin for the wrong reasons. There are several reasons an investor might choose to sell his bitcoin and some of those reasons are not just right and that’s the point I’m trying to make. Choosing to liquidate part of your Bitcoin holdings because you wanna make some quick profit, or to sort an emergency, or even because you’re afraid that a dip might continue and you might lose your money, those are among the wrong reasons some naive investors end up selling their Bitcoins for.

And concerning the use case of Bitcoin, surely I’m not against people using bitcoin to pay for goods and services, but that’s more of a Peer to Peer transaction of Bitcoin than selling, maybe somehow similar but not the same thing altogether and it shouldn’t be from your investment portfolio, I believe it’s better to have a completely separate account or wallet for that.

Whenever the market is pumping, then everyone is always saying good things about the market, which is always encouraging most people to keep on holding, but whenever their is blood in the market, people are always predicting more dump in the market, which at the end, most people will panic and sell, but it doesn’t make sense. When their is red in the market, the best thing to do is just to keep on holding, if you are having free funds at that moment, then just keep on accumulating more, during a dump is not when we are suppose to be selling.

Thinking up realistically then who the hell would really be that trying out to sell out when they are on loss? It might sound dumb but there are people who do made out such acts on which they do really believe that the market will really be having this kind of drop on which they've been thinking that it goes to zero, specially noobs who are really just that new and isnt really that familiar on how this market works. For those who had been here on this market for a while then they do have that slightest idea at least on how it do behaves and on how it do dumps and recovers. Selling out your position on negative manner will really be just that incur even more loses on which this isnt really that good. Instead on freaking out then it will be better that you should be accumulating even more as the prices are going cheaper.

Always bare up in mind that the market isnt really just that moving on one path forever on which if there's a dumping state then it will be also having that recovery phase on which at the time or moment that you had made out such accumulation or buybacks on that dumping state, then on the time that it do recovers then that will really be giving out that sure profits on which this really that the thing that you do need up to consider.

This kind of thing will always happen and is common in investment, even in any form of investment. But the same thing also happens to those who have been in this industry for a long time, most of them must feel and act the same, which will eventually learn and understand how the market works and increase their knowledge of the market and also Bitcoin to become better investors and also calm when the decline occurs and will be used to collect more Bitcoin and change by believing that the long term is the best choice when they understand its volatility. So I think it is realistic to happen because it is indeed one of the adoption processes that will continue to exist which will eventually make Bitcoin users continue to grow, and those who have been in it for a long time have a role in the reality that occurs by providing the best advice or solutions for them for beginners so that they are like those who have been in it for a long time and so on which will never end.

The market is crazy and a lot of investors are selling at loss thinking that the price will dip even more, actually it will go even Dipper to $70 but I'm not even worried because I know Bitcoin will record a new ATH and even if it's going to be in the second half of the year I don't mind waiting, buying as much as I can now and keep holding, it is only investors that has failed to study Bitcoin carefully that will get caught up in FUD. As a true Bitcoin investor it's only natural to feel anxious about the market but it's also important to ignore this short term noises.

We're on the same page by telling people should buy more when the market is down and Bitcoin's price has been so bad for most of us looking at it in the red paint. But if there is nothing left anymore for those that have been buying every time it dips, there's a need to be more patient until there is some money ready to be invested again in the market. It's not always that everyone has some spare money to be used for buying more Bitcoin. It won't happen but as soon as we've got enough, we'll for sure are going to buy some more of it.

I am new to this forum, I used to do short term investment or trading. From there I used to lose a lot of money and I got very disappointed. After a few days I got acquainted with this forum. And from this forum I got to know about long term investment and I am moving towards investment. I used to lose money by trading and I thought that maybe all this is a scam. But after getting acquainted with this forum, my thinking has completely changed. And I am trying to find a stable source of income so that I can invest for the long term.

It takes time to build on Bitcoin knowledge, there are those with similar motivation, many long term investors you see in the forum were once meme and altcoin initiators who have lost huge bucks inside so many Ponzi. Trading Bitcoin gives a 50/50 chance of getting anything in return, that is why now we see investors populating because they now understand the benefits of a long term investment.

You don't want to start your investment without having a good job, it's not about having the urge to get into Bitcoin investment, there has to be enough capital to invest and still have much to save up. If you do not have backup funds for your investment, may end up selling everything you had managed to accumulate while it is very early.

We're on the 50 week average line and the last time that was broken below was start of the 2023 early on in the bull run.  In 2024 we came close, after waving about for months in August and September we nearly broke below but not especially gaining that last bit of traction downwards.   To continue a move especially now downwards might be argued as especially weaker then we have been in over 2 years.  This is momentum and trade based weakness rather then long term volume reactive direction, I think its possible but unlikely.

In the same  vein,  selling bitcoins should not be considered a crime or a mistake, everyone has different investment goals, we should not impose our thoughts on others. But I don't see anything wrong with many people considering bitcoin as just an investment because that  is also one of the use cases of bitcoin. Everyone has different needs and preferences, so there is no need to feel uncomfortable when someone does not use  bitcoin for the same purposes as us.

You are not the only one, some other people  also complain about bitcoin being used for its original purpose, most of them do not use it as currency, payment .  But as you can see: how many governments, countries , stores accept bitcoin as currency , payment method? Even if many people want to use bitcoin as a currency, how will they use it if their country bans it ?

Knowing and establishing your selling point in bitcoin really helps out a lot if you want to make sure that you're not tempted to sell your bitcoin even if it's the current highest price, having trust in what bitcoin does is probably the best thing that you can do as a hodler, people have been talking about not worrying when dips happen but I can still see a lot of people in my local crypto community going hysterical whenever bitcoin dips or any crypto with a trusted long-term viability dips a bit, they think that it's the end of the world and they end up letting their emotions control themselves and so they end up selling at a loss.

Imposing a goal in your investment journey is probably for the best and probably the thing that works the best no matter, having that and discipline would probably go a long way.

If people didn't sell, the price wouldn't drop from all time high prices to 80k levels, of course it has been up and down a few times since then, but we have seen people sell. I can't really put my finger on why exactly they want to get out right now, after all it is a good period to invest at the moment, a good 30-40% return is quite possible for the short term (less than a year) and yet people still want to sell and get out, I can't really see why that would be the case but I understand that is what is happening.

Hopefully with time we could change these for the better, and we could end up buying more. For the market to grow higher again, a lot of people needs to buy a lot of bitcoin to make it grow higher in price again.

Nice to know that you're becoming more of a holder than a trader as risk limitation is now paramount, from observations trading has set most guys up with thoughts that they can beat high tech companies and cooperative miners hence they lost a lot but bitcoin and holding reduces this risk of much losses and keeps you on a longer term vision just as you have began the journey.

Selling you coins at the premature prices is very unfortunate and shouldn't be considered so hold and enjoy the pumps and ATH soon 

The market is neither bullish nor bearish at the moment. If those who decide to give up Bitcoin at this time will be at risk because even if the price of Bitcoin decreases slightly, its price can rise significantly at any time. Even if the price decreases slightly, it is better to hold Bitcoin. Because if we could be a holder of Bitcoin, then we would definitely be able to profit more from Bitcoin. In the meantime, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 4.5% in the last 24 hours. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is 86k and the market can go above 90k. Those who could not hold their Bitcoin in the meantime have lost their wealth. There will be excitement in the market but the investor must control his emotion or he will lose.

Sell on what time frame is relevant question, because the only sell Im seeing is the very fast trader who sells at end of day.  Obviously some trades should be ended fast, especially on leverage but most times an average participant buys BTC it should be held onto unless you become convinced of a new low appearing.

I think we do test lower prices and this last low has not been proven well enough to say that the bottom price is in.  The place to watch now is about 92k, if we get that far and can confirm beyond it then this negative action has failed to play out or resolve downwards.   Until then we are still within range of the move, the low and high are still descending at the moment, the fluctuation is what always makes movement deceptive.
   We put in a lower low, stay cautious and on guard for a faster and more harsh sell downwards, for what reason that would be justified I dont know.

Selling when the price was over 100k is not a mistake, if that was a part of your price target for selling, it's also good if you have a really good stash hidden away for you, as tempting as it was to sell, a lot of people didn't sell and even with this price DIP I still believe that their choice wasn't the wrong one.

Yes, being consistent or setting clear and measurable goals in the investment journey is very important, this will determine the results of the investment that we want and will not be tempted at all to sell it before it is in accordance with our planning. I think if they already understand what they are buying and have good benefits, they should not panic about incidents like this.

Most likely or in general, their knowledge of this investment is still minimal and they are not willing that the money they put in the investment will shrink when a decline occurs, it is better if this understanding must be educated or a good understanding that price fluctuations are common or normal in the investment world so there is no need to worry if there is a decline, this is only temporary, there will definitely be a time when the increase will arrive.

If investors plan before investing and if they want to stick to their plan then I think no one would want to sell their investment now. Although the market is in a good position now, maximum investors are expecting something better and the market can go to a better position. If we sell our investment then our expectation of Bitcoin will be gone but if we risk holding our investment then there will be some chance that we will get something good in future from the investment we have. As investment is planned for long term and with certain expectations, I think it is not right for investors to sell investment at this time. But if one is in extra trouble and is compelled to sell the investment, he may decide to do so personally.

Selling bitcoin is not something I ever do with happiness. Even if I make a lot of profit, I would rather hold and never sell, not even a dime. But life isn't always that linear and straight forward, so we end up with some mistakes and this causes us to have some big mistakes on the long term.

If I end up with some financial trouble, which I already am in one, then I end up trying to sell my bitcoin to get out, this happened a few times already. Sad thing about having constant troubles in your life for YEARS, is that, you save enough money and make some profit from bitcoin and it starts to look decent and then everything goes down to nothing. It's a sad situation and I hope to fix that one day by having enough saved that even if I sell some, there will be a lot left over.

In Bitcoin investment an investor who regularly buys at various prices in the market with the goal of increasing his holdings and increasing his target is a moderate investment. The current market situation is a moderate one for investment but investors who are saving regularly should refrain from being tempted to sell. People who plan to save do not want to face liquidity crisis in any market regardless of the price because they have to plan and reach the point according to their target. The advice given to someone to keep in the market is not forced. What matters for investors here is how far he is in getting his reasonable profit or how ready his portfolio is to sell. If he is far behind his target and for a few more years, then he should solve the problem in alternative ways rather than withdrawing the investment. For investors, it is important to have backup funds and floating cash funds during the investment period and possibly a long term.

I like that you have a strong feeling towards bitcoin where you prefer to keep the asset and this shows that in your eyes bitcoin is not just an asset that only provides profit. It's like bitcoin is a wonder of the world and having it becomes a happiness. But the fact is that the life we ​​live will not go according to plan and the worry of selling what is already ours cannot be avoided as in your case and everyone must have experienced it. And to cover up every mistake is to improve finances because of course to support the plan to collect bitcoin is with strong finances.
The latter is a positive view and shows that you have the will to improve your financial situation.

if they were in at 50k sold at 105k

and bought back at 80k they would have the same amount of coin and they would have cash to spare.


but as I said my sale was tax free as I had a carry over loss. of around 59k

Set goals or targets on which you would really be needing up to consider this one out because we do know that on the time or moment that you dont set out these things then you've seen your investment goes south then you will be panicking and might be selling out early, on which in compared into those people who had been already that setting out some back up plans or steps to make once the market do make out some significant move. Selling out targets whether for long term aspect or should really be that one on with those significant market movements on which this is indeed happening. No one really knows on where these price do moves and this is why it will really be that best on setting up some goals so that whenever something happens then you do already know on what you should gonna do at least.

In my case i do make out some sell targets on which i have bought on lower and sell it on peak on 100k on which its a good decision since the price had made out some corrections. This is somehow the steps that you should really be that making so that you wont be ending up on regret. The key on here is that you should really be setting out goals and targets on which whenever it do happens then you do know on what you should gonna do and if you do made out that right decision then it do give out or shows that you are really that becoming a better trader or investor on this space.

Let's not make selling thinking of it as a mistake. If the others that have held for so long and did sold for profits, it's not a mistake on their end.

And if you're not going to sell and will always hold, that's also fine. I'm not selling with the most that I have but it doesn't mean that I'll never sell.

I'll have to learn from the past cycles that it's normal to take some as reward for holding because we can always buy back if it's below our sold price.
