Selling Bitcoin = Opportunity loss?!

[zarados]

Because bitcoin belongs to a high risk investment, it means selling bitcoin is not an opportunity to lose, because there's nothing to guarantee that prices can continuously rise. As long as the selling price is still higher than the purchase price, I don't think it's a damaging decision. It's just that people who sell bitcoin have the possibility of not getting a bigger profit. Like that.

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?

It appears that it is really an opportunity loss. If a user will sell his/her Bitcoin at this moment even if it is already expensive, he will lose the opportunity to earn BIGGER profit in the future since its market price is expected to be more expensive in the future. This only shows that holding is necessary.

Currently the price went down and it will be a bad idea selling your bitcoin because you'll lose the opportunity to earn more, as we can see how high the price of bitcoin can get we must continue holding till the price goes back on top. But if we sell at a high price and decide to buy again at a low price I think it is still a win win situation.

Yes, selling bitcoin can lead to a possible loss of profits. Those who were among the first and did not sell their coins today are at least millionaires. You need to keep your coins for the future.

Not at all if you are selling at the correct upward movement time then their will always be chances of price going down and you can buy back them. But if you are not a trader then better to buy and fix the selling target and when you achieve it that time better to sell off.

For me, i dont sell my bitcoins. Yeah we do not pridect the volatility of bitcoin. But if we trust in bitcoins and the source, you dont need to pannic, you only need is to wait until the value will recover, i know in the end of the year bitcoin will rich $30k thats a big news about crypto.

I actually agree with you that selling bitcoin because the price change  for now, just because of this period, does not warrant selling your bitcoin as the price for sure will appreciate. Selling it now will actually    amount to opportunity loss. And I will not sell my bitcoin, holding on is the best option for now.

yes if you need, or there is a need urgent yes of course agan sell, loss or not depends on how the increase in bitcoin prices how.
if bitcoin price goes down and we sell it surely it will hurt us.

[nagatraju]

bitcoin has gained strength and will grow, so if you sell, you will surely lose and regret it

Yes sometimes when you require money their is no option but need to sell btc so that you can utilize that money as per your need. While just like when the market was at 18k selling was preferred as it has reached very high and that was also a good option as you could now buy back at lesser price which is at 14k$ .

Selling your bitcoins isn't really a loss, it depends on the quantity, timing and price.
If you invested on bitcoins earlier than everyone else, back when the value of btc was
lower and cheaper and you compare it with today's price wouldn't you sell a portion of
your btc? that's just profit and that's quite good actually. That's unquestionably good
investment. Since btc is considered a risky investment, it's value can erratically sway
and vary over time. It would be perceptive to hold and save some and not completely
sell it all. That's what i would do.

Ok, but sell high buy low is "trading" IMO. I thought this thread is about selling BTC and cash out to a bank account and do not reinvest

Selling could also be done to secure your initial investment. It depends on how you see it, for me I believe Bitcoin will keep rising so I do not sell my Bitcoin, I only continue to accumulate it.

[enwi]

agreed, because by selling now it will lose the opportunity to gain profits and will miss because bitcoin prices will rise again this year

At present its a good buying opportunity and keep holding for a longer term as the price is going to bounce back from 16 k and will reach 18k in coming months. We could easily be seeing again new highs in short time from bitcoin. So selling means losing on the big opportunity.

For me it was not an opportunity loss it is someones choice or depends on their needs because i dont see any holders who sell their coins without any profit.Some will do panic selling because of price votality by being afraid that once there is dip that was happening they thought that it will continue to dump and could not recover again.Some would sell or exchange it for fiat maybe because they have personal needs ,might use it for emergency purposes or they might want to invest it outside crypto.In some ways they can buy bitcoins if they want to but price will be more expensive that really depends if they want to own btc again.

Bitcoin has touched $19600, it was the lifetime high of bitcoin currency till date. Many those who have not sold their coins and booked their profits have missed a good opportunity. It was certain that after continuous rise bitcon experts were expecting a correction.  Exactly same happened and bitcoin prices slipped below $13000. Now those who think that the have lost the opportunity can sell their bitcoin at the end of this rally. Bitcoin1s next target is $40000.

Selling bitcoin is lost opportunity, I know that because I sold many bitcoins under 1000 dollars, I didn't do it because I wished that I needed money and that was decision made in that time. Now I think it would be better if I borrowed money and waited for this risw, bit who knew that bitcoin price will be on +10k after just 6 months. Now I think differently, I had chance to be really rich by now, but I'm not. Good for me in all that is that I believe I have second chance now, this is not the end, price will continue to rise and selling bitcoins is really lost opportunity, some of us knows that better then other's.
