Selling Bitcoin = Opportunity loss?!

[megynacuna]

Yes, selling coins can be an omission of the opportunity to get a good profit in the future. Those people who have now become millionaires thanks to bitcoin did not panic and kept their coins.

While there are many jokes about those that hold bitcoin for the long term, the truth is there is not a more effective strategy, not only in bitcoin, but in any type of investment than to invest early in a project and then hold for a very long time, and finally after you get your target profits you sell, but one of the problems is why are you going to sell your bitcoin? To get fiat? That is why most holders probably plan to hold for the rest of their life.

Ofcourse we sell to get fiat because a lot if merchants and payment processors around the world don't accept Bitcoin first hand and so if it becomes necessary to buy something and you're out of cash I think it makes every sense to exchange some of your bitcoins for cash. Some people are already rich in both fiat and Bitcoin and so such people can decide to hold until forever but it's not the same with everyone.

From the above quote it's clear that selling bitcoin is equal to losing opportunity. A clear description is that when the price increase the rich who holds fiat and bitcoin becomes rich. The one who have been trying to hold and by situation sells and has nothing when the price increase makes him live as he lived in the past. A growth opportunity is missed.

Many posts discuss the possibility of exchange earnings with selling Bitcoin (and buy later). Other posts discuss the Bitcoin exchange rate, it seems that many agree there is a strong upward tendency and the volatility is hard to predict. It seems dat selling Bitcoin results in a serious probability of an opportunity loss. Selling Bitcoin can only be motivated by an (partial) exit. Do you agree?

Well i will based my opinion to the statements of others to their experience about bitcoins, well it is always depends on the users.  The other people sell it because they are into cash rather than crypto currency and sometimes sell it for some reasons while on the other hand, they hold their bitcoins because they believe that the value will continue rising.  So it depends to the person's strategies ..

It looks like you're are really sure that the Price of BTC will still rise as days go by. Well, This market is really unpredictable and unstable. There are no assurances that the trend of btc will still have an upward trend. The thing in Selling Bitcoin is not a partial exit, I prefer it smart investment. For example, you bought btc for $1 and suddenly after 2-3 days the it reach $10 point if you sell it. Then I would probably sell it, It's not an opportunity loss since you already gain enough money. A 10% ROI is already a signifacant win win situation for a single investor. In this industry taking to much risk can cause you Opportunity Loss. I know taking risks is part of this game but even in taking risks you must able to study and prepared for the possible outcome. As I always said, Be smart and cautious in making decisions.

Yes, the market is an indeterminate block, we can not predict anything. But it is important that our beliefs for the bitcoin intuitively remind us of what we need to do. And I choose to wait, I always hope bitcoin increase.

Yes right, do not rush to sell bitcoin at the moment, I suggest to hold at least until the end of the year and we will get a fantastic price, maybe 2 times from now or more than $5000/btc.

[JimmieA]

Is this true? I think not sure ... all is sure after August 1st when btc changes are announced, maybe btc price will increase sharply or maybe decrease. So, whether btc sales are now a loss or have avoided the risk of loss. We need to wait in the anxiety to know this..

[nemagia]

Until now, the sale of coins was indeed an omission to make money, but no one knows what will happen in a year or a few years. Everyone must decide when he should get a profit.

But think about it more merchants are accepting bitcoin, this especially true in Japan, so to be honest I think in the future, maybe in 20 years paying with bitcoin will be just like paying with a credit card, if this is true then you do not need to sell you only need to hold for as long as it takes bitcoin to become mainstream.

some people believe that bitcoin value will keep rising with no limt ,
as time goes by when a lot of people use bitcoin the demand of course increased too right?
so those people will always suggesting you to keep holding until certain price ,
the problem is when when your price target reached , what would you do later? just leaving?

You can only say opportunity loss when you sold your Bitcoin without gaining profit. There is always an opportunity when selling or buying Bitcoin, you only have to check the price by that you'll know when to buy and sell to gain profit.

Yup, you say right! I not know why reason many people don't sell when highest price and after the price fall down, they sell it although not take loss, but they say that  is make they loss more Just because of their greed, they blame market =))

I understand that, it's their fault, they are too greedy to make a lot of money, but then they do not believe in bitcoin anymore, and they are willing to sell it when it's low in value. I call them weak.

I think selling bitcoin does not mean wasting an opportunity. It may be someone selling their bitcoin because it requires urgent money
but people who sell bitcoin because they are impatient and panicked because the price drop may be said to be a waste of opportunity

I don't see a problem with selling at a high price in order to buy back at a lower price later. In fact, it's a smart thing to do if you can time it correctly. The problem is that sometimes you sell high and the price just keeps going higher. In this case you will miss out on those gains.

I think it depends on who is holding the bitcoin, they sell bitcoin for different purposes because they need money to spend their life or they want to buy something. But if you keep the bitcoin in the future you will probably maximize your profits because in the future bitcoin will grow even further.

Considering that there is a pretty high chance for the value of Bitcoin to go up, even though it may not be immediately after the fork, chances are it would be worth taking the risk, especially as users would be getting in on Bitcoin after the fork and would be less hesitant, assuming that everything goes well and not much is lost during the transfer (which is likely to happen). Again I can't guarantee everything, but this is a risk I would be willing to take, especially as the fork itself draws closer.

yes that is right that selling bitcoin does not mean that we are losing the opportunity, because bitcoin is providing opportunities to us in every stage, but i think in current position when the price is trading so stable is mean that bitcoin has a good support and very soon it will start increasing and more chances are that bitcoin price will raise too high, therefore if a person can afford they should try to hold bitcoin for some more time and do not need to sell it

Not at all. In bitcoin you have to sell it at correct time to get huge profit. In sake of money if sell at low cost is look like you miss the opportunity. Try to sell your bitcoin at correct time to get a good amount. Even if you inverse your money on bitcoin means, you need to sell it at correct time.

Exactly because we do have different purpose, and I believe of the total number of holders of bitcoin, only few
are really holding it for long term despite more people are saying they will but when time comes
they will be tempted to sell especially when they really need the money.

That would be nice, but is is right to sell then?

Yeah, it's not like you're going to sell at a lower price than yoir buy point. As long as you get good profit, then there's nothing to regret about. If you need to sell your bitcoin, no need to wait years, as long as your earnings feel comfortable already then you should be ok

Correct, true long term holders of bitcoin are very rare, there are many that like to get good profits and will be tempted to sell bitcoin for fiat and cash out, or they will be tempted to sell for altcoins that have a faster growth rate than bitcoin in most of the cases.
