We are at peak BTC price.

I think that is terrible advice to 'sell it all immediately because it now results in a huge profit'.  How much greater profit could he have if he keeps it another cycle or two? If he sells it all now I think he'll look back with huge regret of selling.  

When I bought both AMZN ($237) and AAPL ($238) 16 years ago in 2009 for $5/Share - do you think I should have sold after 12 years at just a small gain (relatively speaking) of 15X? Today in 2025, 16 years after I bought the stocks they are both at 47X what I paid for it!    

The price of Bitcoin will most likely increase in future years at a much greater magnitude...on the order of possibly 10X in 5-6 years and 30X in 10 years. Do you want to give that kind of gain up by selling it all now? Patience is a key factor in successful investing.    

That's what I would do if I were the OP, it's not financial advice I'm giving him.
I am not a financial expert, and everyone has their own plans and goals. So in my opinion, giving specific financial advice to others is always a bad idea.

However, I would say that if you think selling BTC right now is a bad idea, and think that bitcoin price will still go higher in the future. I bet that even if you sell your bitcoin 10 years from now at a price of millions of dollars per BTC. One day you will still regret it because the price of bitcoin may go higher after you sell.

If you don't have a clear goal and can't control your greed, you will never stop regretting and will even pay a heavy price.

You didn't make yourself totally clear. I presume you are saying that you would not sell it all now, but instead be patient because the price of Bitcoin will still go higher in the future, so be patient... If that is indeed what you mean, I agree!

Should I sell, spend it all on hookers, or some combination of the two?

But let's say you do have a lot of Bitcoin. If I were you, I'd only sell a little bit; $10k USD is enough to have some fun. I wouldn't be foolish enough to sell all my Bitcoin just to get some hookers. Because Bitcoin's price has so much potential going forward, I wouldn't want to spend it all just to have some fun. It's better to hold it for the long term and let it grow.

If he wants to end his investment in Bitcoin, selling everything and enjoying the profits is not a problem. But with the consideration not to buy Bitcoin again at the current price or in the future. Because the profits gained will not be the same as when starting from the beginning.
Selling all the Bitcoin owned at the current price, for those of us who still have hope for Bitcoin prices reaching a new ATH in the future, is certainly a bad choice. We can choose to sell a small portion for enjoyment, but leave more to continue the investment.

This isn't just a small strategy; it can also lead someone to achieve a more optimal investment stage. Those implementing a long-term investment strategy also need to consider ways to make sustainable purchases. Selling some of their holdings will provide an opportunity to increase their Bitcoin holdings. Regardless of other capital preparations that may be in place for continued accumulation, this method has been quite effective for me.

For the current momentum, I'm not waiting to buy after selling a certain percentage of my Bitcoin holdings. I'll wait for market conditions to determine the direction. Considering this is the peak of the previous ATH, even though the price has already declined, and because I'm a long-term investor, buying momentum must be viewed with much greater precision.

Buying when it dips peaks and selling when it peaks bottoms is true and good way to make money. It is not easy but it can be done and I am sure that we are going to reach that level again, we need to go up some more, like to 120k+ and then we can consider selling. But don't do it right away, first wait for it to stop going up, and if that happens then you can do a good job. Not many people could do that, and because of that they end up losing money.

I personally believe the best way would be making sure that we are dealing with something that stopped going up. Bitcoin is not stopping right now, not at this moment, it will go up, and break all time high, but for that to mean something we need to wait for it to to start going up again.

@sana54210 - Tell me more about your strategy of 'buying when it peaks and selling when it bottoms' being a good way to make money!

Bitcoin peak price is still long ways to go and we should not believe that it is going to be peaking right now. Bitcoin price still has a long way to go and I expect it to reach 150k+ without a doubt. I think that should be the most obvious way to move forward and because of that I believe that we are going to get great results as well.

It should not be that dangerous to invest right now, even at this price it's still not too late and we can make it do a lot better. We can't really consider this bad timing, because if we can see 150k+ in the next few months then buying right now was a good move and we should be happy about it. If you fear and refrain from investing at the moment thinking that the price will fall, then you will lose.

Many always rush to say BTC is at its peak but history shows tops are only clear in hindsight. Every cycle, people thought this is it then Bitcoin broke past it. Furthermore, Inflation plus fiat weakness equals fresh demands, also ETFs, companies, even nations are still buying in, with new liquidity entering, Halving effect isn’t fully baked in yet, miners’ sell pressure keeps dropping and lastly, On-chain data shows wallets plus network usage is still growing strong. Hence, Calling the top too early has wrecked more investors than holding through the noise.

You are right in arguing that inflation, fiat weakness, the demand for bitcoin from ETFs and institutions remain very high, and huge money still flows into bitcoin every day. So, it would not be entirely correct to rush to the conclusion that BTC has peaked. But you forget one thing, the market is cyclical, and if that cycle repeats itself again. That means the bull season will end in the next month or two, so maybe bitcoin price hasn't peaked yet but it is very close to the peak. Therefore, if someone has made a significant profit and wants to take profit. They can do it at current prices.

Also i think that we have not reached the peak of this bull market yet and there are some more bullish events to come that will drive the prices to even higher. Yes, the one major event is the rate cuts and that will be on the 17th September when the fed may announce the first rate cuts of this year. It is long awaiting and market seems to be getting bullish because of this anticipated rate cuts news.

Also we are getting the data that favors the rate cuts and there is all around hype that bitcoin will have a parabolic run during and after this event. All these recent data for CPI, Core CPI and Unemployment claims suggest that we will have rate cuts in the next meeting.

That can be made as data and references in our caution if you want to sell at a high price, but about whether this is the peak price or not we do not know it clearly, and can be calculated as you say the possibility of one or two months in the next time if you follow the cycle.

But the big question mark is that something like that will be repeated again? And we will be sure of it, before it happens, it is better if you want to sell it, it's better to slowly, however the person in this forum has been collected for a long time and get 100 % profit if it is calculated from last year or the end of the previous cycle at a price of 69K.

If you are not selling all your bitcoin you have been accumulating over twenvin years, you make a bad decision if you know that age is against you and your children know that you are holding bitcoin till now, there is no how they will not trace your seeds phrase before you die because they know if they touch the bitcoin when you are still alive you will know that someone no your seed phrase among your children and it can make you take a decision that will affect the children, it will be better you sell all your bitcoin to make huge income that will add another source of income to you for your children to celebrate you for what you have use bitcoin to create for the entire family, but some time we should also be thinking if death occur what will happen to our long term holding, and with this you will be able to make a good decision to trade or sell your bitcoin in every five years or six years to make income.

Well, you can always leave a will. When you leave a will, you leave everything to a lawyer, and unless that lawyer steals all your coins, then there is nothing to worry about. I personally have a very close family friend that is a lawyer, so I will leave my will to him and I have no worries about stealing or anything because I would trust him with my life let alone with my money.

So that is why I have no worries, and you write down everything, from phrases to keys to everything, and even explain to them how they can cash out from some exchange as well. That way, they will not have to worry about anything and they can cash it out if they want to, or just keep it on bitcoin if they prefer and I would really like that.
