When should you sell your bitcoin?

[Dunamisx]

First consider the term you are buying your bitcoin before thinking of selling it, because this is important as well as the positioning we give towards when to buy or sell to make a profit.

Focusing more on the entry and exit time is what we should see as one of the needful decisions that must be taken and we have to recognize such as part of the major support for how we could be profitable with our choice for choosing Bitcoin and and the corresponding time of buying or selling.

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.

The right time to sell can be subjective. In my personal opinion, perhaps I'd buy a luxury item like the latest Lamborghini or Ferrari (lol), or perhaps I'd do it if I wanted to donate to an orphanage or disability foundation in the future, which wouldn't be a bad idea. Everyone has their own goals when selling their Bitcoin in the future. There's no set timeframe; it depends on personal preference.

Whether or not Bitcoin will be used as a means of transaction like FIAT is now, I believe it will become a superior store of value.

Bitcoin is constantly increasing its popularity, it is becoming more familiar to people and its acceptance is increasing, so its foundation is likely to be much stronger in the coming future. But ultimately we should hold it for the long term and 10-20 years is definitely a reasonable time for this, if we can consistently invest and hold Bitcoin for this period, then we can definitely make significant positive returns from it. But ultimately what we have to remember is that there will be uncertainty, everything depends on uncertainty, even if we continue to invest and hold effectively, in the end we will definitely not get any guaranteed chance of success.

It should indeed be that way, and in this forum, many of our friends keep suggesting investing for the long term and gaining much greater profits, of course a guarantee that is very likely to happen. So I also think the same, and there is no other reason for us who only want instant profits; that will become a regret in the future because we can see that since the beginning, Bitcoin's development has been increasingly significant, so the same thing is also possible to continue happening.

First of all, let me say that we need to sell with patience and conscience, not emotion. When you sell BTC, it is entirely up to you, but my opinion is whether you should sell or save BTC. Below is my own opinion beautifully expressed:
When your goal is achieved, such as when you reach 50% or 70%, you will sell.
When you feel risky, you can sell to reduce risk.
When the market increases more than you want.
When you need money in an emergency, such as when there is a problem in raising children in the medical field, education, etc.
Every person should plan their sales wisely and not emotionally, so that the profit is not small.

Now we can only say for sure that if you had invested in bitcoin 10 years ago, you would definitely have become a millionaire. But no one can say for sure what will happen in 10 years, but everyone hopes that the value of bitcoin will increase many times and everyone will get a good profit.

Its quite long time holding bitcoin up to 10-20 years later and we miss many great opportunity to sell bitcoin at higher price, I don't have high ambition for holding long term but if get an opportunity will sell bitcoin and buyback later with more lower price. Bitcoin pattern if hit higher price don't hold more long term and take opportunity during bitcoin touch new higher price to sell and accumulate much profit by selling to buy back later when price dropping.
If hold for long term we miss moment to sell bitcoin at higher price and get an opportunity accumulate bitcoin at lower price, did you learn how the pattern bitcoin last year after hitting new ATH price and right now drop more than 40%?

It is true that it is never possible to say with 100% certainty, especially if the investment is in Bitcoin, as there is a little risk. There is a possibility of profit by holding Bitcoin for a long time. Since the supply of Bitcoin is limited, it is natural for its value to increase over time. But during this long period of price fluctuations, those who are patient during this period get good results at the end of the day. How many years a person will actually hold Bitcoin depends on the economic situation of that person and the stage of his life when he started investing. Although it should be hold for a long time, then the holding period varies from person to person.

I will sell when I need my money. Because everyone has plans bro. If you don't have any plans and you are just investing for a straight 10 to 20 years with no plans, that's kind of not a possibility. Because bro everyone has plans, they have an agenda.

I am saying this because everyone who has an investment mindset definitely has some plan in their mind. Like I want to invest this much in Bitcoin and want to take this much profit, after that I will do this and that etc. But if you have no plans then it is not a problem, you can make one on the way.

I don’t really know if the time frame is going to sufficient in the future, but people that invested in bitcoin in the last 10 years are currently in good profits right now, and even if you can hold bitcoin for 10 to 20 years, then you should be in profits in the future. If your target is to hold bitcoin for 10-20 years, I will say thats a good idea, you can give it a trial and you should be in good profits by the time you want to sell.

Bitcoin was created to serve as digital currency, normally bitcoin is suppose to serve as alternative currency, but most governments don’t just want that to happen, but with time we going to achieve that, right now people are already making transactions with bitcoin, but not that common yet.

Bitcoin is a long-term investment, but holding it for about 20 years is indeed a long time. This means each Bitcoin you are holding will be held for about 20 years, and at that time, you can consider selling.

There are people who have invested in Bitcoin and have more than one target. For me, I prefer to accumulate Bitcoin and hold it for about 4-5 years. In this time frame, profit should have been achieved, and if one still has the opportunity, there can be another investment, with the target for this one being to hold for 20 years. This is not a bad approach either.

However, if you are focusing solely on one kind of investment and targeting 20 years, I think it is too long because you don’t really know how long you will live. Bitcoin investment is not a sentence; while you hold, you should also keep in mind to take profit when it is due.

This is true i believe each and everyone of us here has a target, i might decide to invest for 4 years and after that i start looking into selling my holdings whenever I'm in profit and no one will query me for that because it is a personal decision while some can decide to invest for 5-10 years or more before looking into selling their investments so everyone have their own target, if you have reach your investment target of course you have every right to sell whenever you see that you're in profit, but while setting our investment target it should be from 4 years and above.

No one was Sure of the the outcome of Bitcoin that's a fact but that a lot of people regret not taking the risk regardless of that.  Although regretting that you didn't invest 10 years ago isn't really going to change anything but it is really painful that they missed such an opportunity, just looking at the price of Bitcoin today and comparing it to where it was 10 years ago it is enough reason to get frustrated and be in regret. But a lot of people act like the increase of Bitcoin is over and they fail to take advantage of it because they think it's too late.
