I know that Bitcoin is good to hold for many years so that it's value will increase very well and you will make a lot of profit. What if you have long term plan on what to do with your Bitcoin like in the next 8 years and it happens that it fall into bear run at that time meaning that price has dip. What will you do, will you go ahead and sell or hold it till the next bull run?
Why I brought this topic up is because I have a friend that has been into Bitcoin investment for many years before I even knew about Bitcoin, clearly he has made a lot of profit from it. In the middle of this year he told me that he was going to buy a car in this December, from his Bitcoin profit. We were very happy about the ATH a few months back and he said that he couldn't wait for December, to buy the car. To my surprise he hasn't bought the car till now, his reason was that price is bellow $100,000. He has postponed the car matter indefinitely till there is a new ATH.
I told my friend that he is greedy that afterall he has made a lot of profit from Bitcoin that he should have bought the car despite the dip. I think that if we have made profit and our long term goal of holding Bitcoin matures we should spend the Bitcoin because it is our money. No need to consider whether it falls into bull run or bear run because we are in already in profit over the years.
one funny thing about and humans is that, the moment we achieve a particular goal, we also tend to set more goals for ourselves even without reaping the dividend of the previous one which isn't a good one. as a holder, i already have my target an the moment the price of bitcoin hits my expected target price, i have no other option but to sell especially if there is a need for it.
i am not against people's choices of either holding or selling, but what truly matters is that they are doing so for a just reason else you might just be making some sort of mistakes that you might not even believe you did and since i'm not a financial expert to give financial advise, i would advise that, we all do our research to determine what's best for us in the market.
