Your entire stash ? It’s a bit like those guys who sold their entire stash at $8 per coin because it can’t go any higher.

Well, I switched most of my trade stash into LTC this morning. Wanted to test this -3.5% ltc to btc ratio and see if it'll close in. At 2% now, I'm not brave enough to cash my trade stash with all these blip ups.

I've probably mentioned this here before, but back in the day I mined a triple digit amount of BTC and sold them at a price in the double digits.
Later on, after deciding not to jump off the nearest tall structure, I decided to start grinding away and hodling.
The smart move going forward is probably to sell certain amounts at predetermined levels, similar to what jbreher does. However, I have a major aversion to the thought of selling any BTC, having been traumatized by earlier experiences.

If you have some kind of a goal (Buying a car, buying an Apartment, building a home, ...), just set a goal BTC price for yourself where you have to sell 10% / 25% / 50% of your BTC in order to reach it and keep the rest.

That's the best thing that could happen to you. In my younger days I was asked to go to a card game and I agreed. Lost 1/2 of my monthly wage that night, and after that never played the card game in money ever again. Imagine the tragedy if I won, who knows how long would be gambling. Lessons learned the hard way are learned forever.

If you have an aversion to selling at a certain price then that tells me too much crypto is being given up. If selling 20% of it achieved every possible short to mid term desire then I wouldn't blink. If I was getting rid of 90% of it for the same I certainly would.

Yeah I'll probably sit down and figure out certain percentages to sell at certain price levels to achieve certain goals. That seems to be the reasonable way to do it.
Bob's discipline in doing so has been inspiring.

Your entire stash ? yep. it's not much of a stash to be honest! but sold anyway. if it breaks 14k ill consider buying back at a loss, but i think we'll see a further low before a strong bull market happens. I'm usually wrong.

Out here in the snowy wilderness, on horseback, all by my lonesome.
Bland sort of afternoon.
No coyotes in sight.
The herd is all happy, safe, and healthy - best I can tell.
A seductively baritone breeze, with a slight lispy quality, just passed me, whispering into my ear "Thirteen Thouthand... I'm coming for you thoon, Bawb..."

Perhaps, but this course of action assumes long term stability in the currency you exchange to. Can we be so sure? I feel totally fine selling small amounts of btc if I need cash soon (it rarely happens). I was planning to sell some moderate amounts at $21-23K (due to some technical considerations), but the price did not happen as of yet. If it takes a year to get there, i am not sure that I will have the same conviction (to sell). At some point we would be able to easily exchange relatively stable cryptos for relatively stable currencies and/or goods. We are not there yet by a large margin.

... BTW, Gemini support is terrible. Absolutely awful. I apologize for being blunt, but I've been working through issues cashing out $1M USD from a sale back above $14k, and still have not received a single freaking response from customer service.
Their system for getting verified is a bit convoluted - Wire in money from your financial institution, and, in theory, that sets up a two-way channel for them to initiate wires back to you.
Well, this works great for my primary financial institution, but not for the institution that is handling my retirement portfolio.
Long-story-short, I'm needing to wire funds out of Gemini into Financial Institution A, and then walk into Institution A and say "Greetings folks. I would like to make a Wire Transfer to Institution B. Here is my account information."... wait a moment while they pull up my account, sigh to myself as their eyes bug out and raise a curious eyebrow towards me, look further into my account history, and say "Yessir Mister Lawblaw. We'll get right on that. Would you like covfefe while you wait ? We'll need the manager to sign off on this..."
Coinbase has better support, for the love of God.
Coinbase at least allows me to ACH direct into Institution B. I feel dirty supporting Coinbase tho.
All the exchanges are shit.
Bob, check out https://genesistrading.com/ in NYC The website is a bit primitive (does not work well on mobile devices) but they are a great place for selling large amounts of bitcoin, but only during business hours. Settlement occurs in a few hours, rarely overnight. They are market-makers and match buyers with sellers. $75,000 minimum. I sold for multiple millions in USD this year, worked very well.
