What would you say to people who advice you to sell all your bitcoin?

I've seen many people around bitcoiner who keep say/advice them to sell their bitcoin because various reason such as "sell before the price fall", "turn it into real money", "don't be fooled with that scam", "it's illegal to have/use bitcoin" or other reasons.
So, what would you say to people who advice you to sell all your bitcoin?

I just say to those people that it is my asset ( investment ) which I am holding and waiting for the price skyrockets. I will not sell my funds I am holding till the price goes upto $1000 or more.

i will not sell all of my bitcoin for real money, maybe just profit that i will sell, because for me, bitcoin is like budget that i used to make money on internet, especially for trading. then i will tell to that person, why you are not join with me to make money? don't you like to make money with free budget? Grin

i don't know what bitcoiner is but i know this much that people are not giving advice to others, especially when money is involved, out of kindness of their hearts.

My policy is to keep my own counsel. There's so much garbage advice being offered that its impossible to know what to believe. And everyone has an opinion, even if it's wrong.

That would depend on their argument on why I should sell the bitcoins. You can't just dismiss every single thing people say without making yourself look like a stubborn idiot.

Actually they are the optimists. They want you to sell your bitcoins so that they can buy it cheaper. My suggestion is don't sell any of your bitcoin. You will sell your fortune.

Bitcoin has the potential to become huge. Wait for some more years and you will be rich. Don't get provoked by them.

normally when i hear a crowd of people shouting out its time to sell bitcoin, i just see it as an opportunity to buy slightly cheaper if they do sell.

i have seen it happen a few times in the past. especially with goldhoarders. they try to get people to sell their bitcoins for gold.. but the secret is the gold hoarders are trying to get rid of their gold for bitcoin.

in short when someone is trying to sell another person is trying to buy. so think of the opposite to when "others" are telling you to do and think hard about why they are telling you to do it.

I would advice him to not sell al your bitcoin money because it is better to invest in shares in one site which i know to get big profit with shared example invest 1$ get 200x bigger money after 1-2 year in that sute and i would explain him how.

I'd tell them to take all of their fiat currency and sell it for gold, or another fiat currency. They don't realise that coins are actual currency, and that a lot of people don't just keep them for investment, but actually use them to buy goods and services. I could just as easily provide no evidence or reasoning and say "sell all your dollars and buy pesos" and they'd laugh me out of town - they're telling us the same.

Ironically , those people are most of the time Altcoin users.

I personally wouldn't say much , I will simply disagree with them. Each one has his own opinions , you think that Bitcoin is going to die ,right? you gave me an advice , now it's up to me take the right decision and It will be my responsibility If I lose money.
Now it depends , If there are some good arguments (like real arguments) I may think about it otherwise I will just disagree as I stated above.

sometimes they're right in the short term but so is a stopped clock a couple of times a day. either way it's my decision to make and anyone who believes they have a clue what bitcoin's gonna get up to in the future needs a reality check.

this forum has a rich catalogue of people who declared everything was dead and sold up and it was often in the sub $20 days. either they were making a shitty attempt to scoop up more or they really did disappear and curse themselves every moment since.

i will takeit as a good advice because i know the present but future is unexpected so its better not to take risk when someone is saying me to sell it now maybe thats a sign

that's crazy. most of the people here are morons. many of those who aren't morons have their own agenda and if you follow it that makes you a moron too.

I would ask them if they have sells their bitcoins, if they say no then I would block/ignore them.
Sometimes is good to hear suggestion from others but after all I'm the one who make the decision what to make with my own money.

"You're right."

For me they are none sense why i will sell my bitcoins right now.? do you think the price of bitcoin will fall instead of increasing.. honestly we are still not experience of any changes after block halving and we are still waiting for the price increase.. so better to hold and wait for the best time to sell..

I will just say to them that I believe bitcoin will rise in value and it's my own investment so I can decide when I will sell them. It's just a matter of patience because if major investors are investing on it which means they believe that they can profit from it someday, then I would also believe in it.

"Dude, remember back in 2011 when you told me to sell all my bitcoins? Yeah... that's was great, wasn't it?"

All those reasons are stupid. Yes I get that the price can fall, but that's just what happens sometimes.
