If you have BTC, and now you need money then there is no harm in selling it and that is what money is supposed to be used for.
BTC has potential to grow, but if you don't feed yourself today, then there is no point of hoarding the food for the next month.
Spend the BTC only in case you are in need of money. Otherwise hold the BTC because its potential to be huge in the future. Coming to the Indian context the lack of exchanges, huge taxation, its better not to sell at all. Use fiat money from your salary to pay for bills and keep bitcoin locked up for some betterment in future.
P2P is full of scammers, I dont know which one you can trust. With that, its better to wait it out.
