When should you sell your bitcoin?

[Fakhrulenclix]

If we continually invest in bitcoin for, hypothetically speaking, probably about 10 or 20 years. Is that timeframe sufficient enough to sell bitcoin?

You can decide to sell at any time because there's not definite or required period to do so. Bitcoin id a very alternating investment such that it requires patience that's why long term goals is required, nevertheless how long you must've accumulated doesn't matter that will qualify if you should sell your coins or not. So there's no point for any timeframe provided you're in profits you can sell at your own will.

We can indeed sell at any time, but it all must also align with the initial planning that we have set, and it would be much better if we sell it over a long period of time in order to gain a lot of profit, and indeed the possibility is like that. I even think that the right time to sell depends on our age; if we are still young, it is better to keep it because, in my opinion, this is a profitable investment for the future.

That's why it's necessary to make a clearer plan regarding the investments you make or you can also make several percentages regarding the investments you make. If the investment target is a preparatory step towards old age, it is best to never sell the assets you own so that it will make the process towards old age much better. Some of the percentages I mean can be divided, for example 30% of the total assets can be sold when Bitcoin experiences a significant price increase so that the profits can be used again to buy. As we know that Bitcoin's growth in the future will be much better, it is appropriate for us to have a much better plan regarding how to manage investments correctly so that the target we want can be achieved according to the plan we made.

If we continually invest in bitcoin for, hypothetically speaking, probably about 10 or 20 years. Is that timeframe sufficient enough to sell bitcoin? Its different from stocks as it does not give dividends and is not like real-estate that helps you preserve wealth as the movement of it fluctuates and is very erratic. Ive also seen some posts on other forums talking that in the far or near future, bitcoin would become a common medium of exchange and would further increase its purchasing power? I find it speculative but its also plausible.

They may be wrong to view it as a medium of exchange, they may be also right.  Stablecoin could only be used as a medium of exchange if there should be any not Bitcoin, and if Bitcoin, it should on the LN.

And while holding Bitcoin for that longer period of time, at least the holder must have been in profits to know when to sell his Bitcoin or not, a new holder who can't adhere to his plan will find it difficult to know when to sell, but someone who had strongly held for longer time is never a newbie, had experienced, learnt the lessons many times and know when to hit the sell button.

Bitcoin is a long-term investment currency where you may not get a good amount of profit if you do not invest for a long time, you may lose if you invest for a short time because it is a volatile currency. But if you invest, you must sell it. Otherwise, it cannot be enjoyed. I think since we invest in anything to generate profit from it to update our financial condition and live a comfortable life, when our target is met and we get a profit that we expected, then we should sell Bitcoin as much as you can for that time to fulfill your dream. But you should save as much as possible for the last age and future generations

We have different timeline when to sell your bitcoin. If you come here early and start buying bitcoin that time, then you can make an early exit as well, by this time you are owning a huge amount of bitcoin as long as you never sell majority of them.

However, if you enter the market and start buying bitcoin when its almost $100k per bitcoin, then there's more reason that you should stay more and hold longer. Bitcoin price is currently down and you have no choice but to stay hodling and get rid of selling so you won't end up suffering from losses.

Selling your bitcoin is not a decision for others to decide, but you should be the one to make the final decision since you know everything the current status of your bitcoin portfolio. Sell when in profits, buy and hold when the price is still at loss.

You can decide to sell your coin which ever time you feel it’s okay, it doesn’t matter if it’s a week or a couple of days. You can’t own Bitcoin and still go through difficult situations without taking profit to settle your situations. It’s okay to withdraw Bitcoin occasionally so long as you are not withdrawing all your portfolio, you don’t have to wait 10-20years if there is a need for you to make these withdrawals. When there is no other source and their is a need that can’t be ignored, then it’s okay to withdraw just what’s enough.

Depending on the timing of your invest but you can have a good profit even on short time frame if you manage to purchase just before the hype started.

Bitcoin price usually pump rapidly for a couple months while the indecision or sideways phase is the time which holding longer time is required.

Generally, Bitcoin investment works in the long run so that you will not to worry about the timing of investment.

You can sell your bitcoin gradually when the profits are impressive, but make sure to buy back again when the market turns bloody.

But if you mean selling all your bitcoin for good, do it when retirement comes. By that time, the price would be too far from the current price, and make use of those profits to invest into other stable investments where volatility and stress are not that high.

Or you can sell when your target price has achieved. That would serve the best purpose why you're into bitcoin for the past years.

To be a successful investor in Bitcoin, having a long-term timeframe is advised. It could be as long as you want, as long as you are being security cautious about your crypto wallet, and you apply a DCA. You can choose at what number of years and at what price you want to sell Bitcoin, even without anyone knowledge of questioning you about your time of selling.

Bitcoin in the future, no one knows what will become of it, but we strongly believe that its future is bright. We might be looking into the legality of it globally, and that could skyrocket its price that we can't imagine

[Vaculin]

If I tell you to sell your bitcoin when it reaches $1m, would you still do it?

The thing is, we have different price and time preferences when to sell. Some are selling just as long when they see chances to sell, while others are selling when their goal price for bitcoin is already in front of them, or when unforeseen emergencies happen.

So the question when to sell your bitcoin requires varied opinions and ideas, and you just have to stick what fits for you and what makes you feel convenient doing it.

10 to 20 years? Why not longer? Assuming you live enough to reach such timeframe. You sell your Bitcoin whenever you see fit. Some people sell when BTC reaches a desired price, while others never end up selling (leaving the BTC as heritage for their descendants). As for Bitcoin becoming a common medium of exchange, I'd say it's plausible. But only if governments allow it.

For now, Bitcoin will be used by many as a store of value. Just like Gold. Because of its limited supply and unmatched reliability/censorship-resistance, I'm sure it will soar higher in the future. With a "bullish" Bitcoin, many people will sell for profit. The decision is yours. Just my two sats.

[Adams0001]

If you invest Bitcoin for 10 - 20 years it means the price of Bitcoin mist have added value, looking at the time or longitivity of bitcoin investment it shows it a longterm investment,  so if you invedt for a longtime and their is profit then it means you can sell Bitcoin.  Bitcoin investment is not a lifetime investment which you will buy bitcoin and never sell, the essence of buying Bitcoin is to hodl it and make profit,  and when profit is made is to sell because profit in investment are meant to be spent.

Nobody will hold bitcoin for lifetime everyone have is target and if they reach there target they will definitely sell without too much f wasting time because is volatile and the price can change anytime so the moment you're in a profit as a good investor you will just sell your profit and continue your investment, but if you wish to leave it till you reach a huge amount you can leave and top your investment so that when the price is increased you can surly reach you goals fast. Bitcoin investment is a investment that can minimise your risk thenother investment and if you're using DCA method that help alot and you will surly know what you're doing by using the method on your investment journey. These surly go well as you plan.

There are two way to follow to be a good investor.
The first is to be patient and wait, every investment always requires time.
The second is to know what to do: keep the assets for life and collateralize them to have money to spend, or keep them to pass on to the next generation.
Making investments and then liquidating them shortly afterwards and simply spending the money is not what real investors do.

I am responding in regards to the topic, there is no specific time to sell Bitcoin. Selling Bitcoin is based on individual dichotomy which means that my sell time and your sell time may not be thesame. We all have target to make profit but the time of taking profit is different from one another depending on how we are satisfied or contented by the profit. The target is long time, but there are scenario where problem arises and there is no other way to sort yourself out except to sell your Bitcoin. And this is when the differences happenes. This is when target are cut short from the original or intended plan.

[Maslate]

There is no fixed time to sell your bitcoin. As long as you never sell at a loss, that's what matters the most.

However, if you really want to maximize your profits in bitcoin, then always buy in dips or follow DCA regularly, that way you will sell massive amount of bitcoin and makes huge amount of returns.

But there is no specific time when to best sell your bitcoin. You just have to sell when your target selling price is already reachable for you.

This is certainly subjective because everyone has different situations and conditions with different needs and desires, usually asset sales are based on needs or desires so that someone sells their bitcoin, talking about time will not be certain because it returns to the problem of circumstances as I mentioned, but I always imagine where in my old age bitcoin reaches a price of more than $ 1,000,000 then I sell it and enjoy life in old age with a pension guarantee from the profits from selling bitcoin in the future, without having to work or earn money because our money is enough to meet our needs until I die.

The time which you want to sell your bitcoin is subjective to how you’ve planned to take on the investment. 10 or 20 years will make us have about 2 or more, or even 5 Bitcoin cycle which at every cycle there is a big chance to actually cash out big from the investment. Just set your timeframe, your exit plans and make sure you stick to it, you’ll most likely get to profit at every bull cycle and make your investment not take up to a decade to profit from it. Some people are okay with every cycle, while some wait for more cycles to accumulate the profits before cashing out from it.

Every one has a personal plan concerning how the want to handle their Bitcoin,

You don't just invest because every other person is, you invest with a goal in your mind, and once that goal is met, there should be nothing holding you back to sale your coin. Except you have it in mind to pass it to your children.

[SquallLeonhart]

Bitcoin selling is such a sensitive subject that, if you do sell but not buy back when it goes lower, then you are going to end up with a much worse situation, because in the long run we are going to see it go up, so if you sell now, even if it goes down after you sell, eventually it will go back up and be double or triple of what you sold. So selling is risky, and selling without buying back is even worse.

I personally always suggest that, if you do sell, then buy back when it reaches 70% less than the peak in bitcoin world, if you do that, like buy back at near 40k, then you are going to be fine. If you wait and it never reaches that point, then buy back from where you sold and that way you wouldn't at least lose anything.

Anyway investor that's held for more than 4 years and met their target can decide to sell Bitcoin can't be held forever without selling except thd investor intend to keep it as an inheritance for his kids. However those who intend to sell when they've met their target shouldn't sell at lose, I mean during the bearish periods.
 Bitcoin investment is a continue process even when an investor has met his target, he still needs to keep buying and replace what he sold that's why being a consistent investor is very important cause you'll be in a good position to take advantage of the bear seasons and still recover what you sold when the market was high.
