One thing about life is that you cannot be well prepared for some certain things, If emergencies like this occurs and even your savings coupled with emergency funds cannot help solve the emergency most especially if it’s life threatening because that’s the emergency that usually runs anyone down. You’re free to look into your bitcoin holdings or take a loan. The option of which depends on your capability and stance.

You can actually liquidate or sell some of your bitcoin holdings if for example your holdings is not in a loss, for exampl your average buy price is $25k that means even at current bears market you are still overall profitable and can actually sell off some bitcoin. But in a case that you’re actually down in loss like your average buy price is $80k and you’re seriously in loss then you can actually look towards taking loan

For example you can take a loan if you have an income stream like salary from your work place and ask that certain percentage is taken off your salary as this can be better than selling your bitcoin at loss. But in a car where you don’t have an income stream like this to take loan with, I think you have no other choice than to sell off your bitcoin because life comes ahead of any investment.

I read people discuss about emergency fund, discretionary income and its important for investors in some threads. Why don't continue discussions there because those threads are very good for that purposes.

Buy the DIP, and HODL!
Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?
Does the DCA strategy inspire newbies to invest?

Is it too necessary to have a new thread, just for discussing about things were discussed in available threads, and repeatedly discussed?

You already make things easier for us since you mentioned available options. From the options available, selling BTC would be my last resort if other two options failed. Personally, I hate anything related to debt unless I have no other option. Hence, my first choice would be selling non essentials belongings. I will feel the pain of losing them but it's just one time and I will be debt free while my investment is still intact. Moreover, I can replace them in the future if situation changes for good. Bitcoin is the hardest asset to replace due to its price volatility.

If I know I would be able to repay the debt in no time (easy if you have a stable job) I would definitely just borrow some USDT against Bitcoin on a CEX.

Otherwise it's very complicated and requires knowing more details about one's living situation to make a decision.

If such a situation takes place then I'll definitely sell some of my Bitcoin holdings instead of borrowing money from anyone else. But, yes if I have other assets or other things then I'll first sell those things instead of Bitcoin as it's precious than rest of the holdings that I have. But, still if the need arises then in such situation I might sell some of my Bitcoin holdings. Surely, I'll regret for that selling but sometimes one has no other options.

With a heavy heart, I’m going to sell some of my Bitcoin to cover the shortfall in the needed funds. I’ve had the experience of being looked down on for borrowing money from a relative, so I won’t repeat that experience. The difficulty might come when the Bitcoin we sell eventually drops in price. But this decision is probably the wisest thing to do given my situation.

If it’s an emergency, let’s say a life-threatening situation, then I would definitely sell my coins. Nothing matters more than the lives of my loved ones. After all, who am I making all this money for? It’s for myself and my family, right?

So, if my emergency fund isn’t enough and I need more money, then regardless of the price, I’ll sell my coins. I might lose money, and I understand that, but I can always start over from the beginning.

Borrowing isn’t an ideal option because lenders can make your life miserable if you can’t repay them on time. Also, coins generally can’t be used as collateral because they’re highly volatile and their prices can fluctuate significantly. So, from a practical point of view, selling is the best option.

If an emergency comes up and the emergency fund can't solve the problem, it will depend on the condition of the investor's Bitcoin investment at that particular time. That is what will determine whether to sell or take a loan.If the investor Bitcoin investment price has not dropped significantly and still has good value, it would be better for the person to sell some of their Bitcoin to solve the problem rather than take a loan, which would have to be repaid with interest.

However, if the person Bitcoin portfolio has lost value, it would be better for them to take a loan to solve the problem instead of selling their Bitcoin at a lost. Therefore, this decision should be based on the condition of the person's Bitcoin investment.If Bitcoin is in good condition, I would advise the person to sell some of it. But if Bitcoin is in a bad condition, I would advise the person to take a loan to solve the problem, as long as they have another means of repaying the loan without relying on their Bitcoin investment.

For me, it depends on the situation. If my Bitcoin assets have made a profit, I'll certainly sell some of my Bitcoin for urgent needs. However, if I'm selling at a loss, I prefer selling items like a second car, motorcycle, jewelry or collectibles. This is the cleanest way to avoid debt and without touching Bitcoin. Even if I have to borrow money, it's best to borrow from family or friends because it's interest-free. The bottom line is in situations like this the answer will certainly vary as everyone has their own options.

As long as we hold onto Bitcoin without selling, that's the way to go. Bitcoin historically tends to rise in the long term and many people regret selling when they need money suddenly. My principle is that I will try not to sell Bitcoin unless the price has risen above my purchase price.

If you  have an asset and you're in need of money what will you do ?

The answer is simple borrow, take loan/loans and pay extra interest on it later, sell a portion that can cover the emergency and take the loss as the interest you would have paid if you had choose to borrow instead . 

It's  left to you to take the right decision . There's  no problem in losing some portion of Bitcoin anyway, you can always recover from it so far you're not selling all, just a portion to fix your emergency.
