Investors Will you sell if your Bitcoin profits are guaranteed in future?

[BitMaxz]

It sounds like trading futures to me because you talk about positions instead of using a good portfolio or a good amount of holdings.

Anyway, there is no 100% guarantee that you will make a profit in the long run; the only thing that motivates people to hold more Bitcoin is because of the cycle and historical data on Bitcoin.
If you know the bitcoin history on every cycle and understand block halving, you will think about buying more because the cycle may repeat just like what happened on every cycle.
That's the reason why investors are pushing themselves to buy more because they know after block halving or near block halving there's a big chance that the price will hype again, just like what happened in the past.

We’re 50% down from the ATH. Nobody should be selling at the moment unless they really have to for essential funds. It doesn't matter if you have 0.01 Bitcoin or 1000 Bitcoin, it is stupid to sell now.

[Maslate]

Sell when the price is high, buy when the price is low. Investors should take time to buy and sell. However, since the current market condition is obviously bearish, then the best move is to buy consistently through DCA, or buy when the price is in dips to maximize the purchasing power and accumulate significant amount of bitcoin.

In the future when the market turns bullish and bitcoin price reaches another all time high, it would be the best time to sell, not just to enjoy the profits, but also to buy back a good amount of bitcoin when the market turns bearish again.

[terrific]

Don't guilt trip those who like to sell.
It's the same in the past when people think that they're already made good profit and decided to sell.
Now, they're thinking that they should haven't sold in the past.
Everyone is in different shoe and that's why if the long wait is over and it's worth to sell, do it.
But leave some bitcoins on your hand so that in the future, you'll still have something to sell either for retirement or additional funds.

[Makus]

Only someone that's short sighted would know that getting profits from bitcoin is guaranteed and would still end up selling during the bear market phase all because of anxiety or uncertainty. The main reason why investors keep holding Bitcoin Inspite of the ups and downs is because a lot of people believe in the potentials of Bitcoin.

Volatility is a constant dynamic in the crypto market, the DCA strategy is there for us to make use of to buy Bitcoin when the price is low and sell when it has increased but it's all a Matter of how disciplined and patient you can be because that's what the market rewards.

Panicking during the dip is unnecessary and as investors that continue to react to the market that way there's no point in continuing your investment in Bitcoin because your emotions are not stable.

[Sanitough]

One thing is certain, there is no investment where future profits are guaranteed, bitcoin is not an exception. There is always risk, and sometimes what happens in the past may not be the same outcome in the future. This is also the reason why people are being tempted to sell their bitcoin, because of the future's high uncertainty.

However, every investor should take time to buy and sell, that's very important. Sell when the market is favorable and profitable to sell, and buy when the market opens a good opportunity to acquire bitcoin at an affordable price. Although some investors discouraged themselves from selling their bitcoin, that's also their decision, but I don't think that's the best move to grow your bitcoin accumulation. It still best to buy and sell at some point of time.

In every investment, there's always risk involved even if we say, you think you already have guaranteed profit. Because you have angles that you can't control and have the upper hand in terms of its direction. That is why, you need to have conservative estimates so you can plan contingencies with your assets.

As there's no guarantee in this market, what you can do is think of alternative plans that give you positive profit even if we say not the profit that you are expecting in this market.

[moneystery]

In a market situation like this, I think it is no longer useful to sell because it will only realize the losses and lead to further losses. Instead, as you said, individuals need to determine whether they can afford to invest and view the current market conditions as an opportunity to buy more.
The market will continue to move in a positive direction. Even though it may seem negative and uncertain right now, remember that history repeats itself-- and Bitcoin will continue to achieve its all-time high. Therefore, consistency is crucial and not rushing into selling decisions that will only be regretted later.

We all have in mind what BitMaxz said about cycles and halving, and I'm the first one who trusts that the cycle will repeat itself and we're in a phase of accumulation. But we have to be realistic and, as you say, assume that the past might not necessarily repeat itself and, consequently, take measured risks.

Anyone who has been wanting to invest or sell for a while should have already done so, so I agree that, unless for some unforeseeable reason they are forced to sell, whoever sells now does not seem to have planned their exit strategy too well.

When you reach your over accumulation stage after ascertaining a good position of you choose are you not going to sell? You only sell when you have reached your overaccumulation stage and you don't have to sell all but part of it if you really want to and then continue to accumulate again but if you don't want to sell after reaching your overaccumulation stage you can increase your duration of accumulation.

For those that have not reached their overaccumulation stage should keep on accumulating ongoingly persistently constantly using the dca strategy to make investing in bitcoin easier for you, selling at any point in time before getting to your overaccumulation stage is not advicible because it will only drag you backwards and prevent you from reaching your target on time, it can also tempt you sell all your investment and remain a low or no coiner which will not be good at all and it will not be easy to start all over again.

[Byebyebtc]

It is indeed very important to understand that you should still try to build a better position, at the end of the day everybody wants a significant result and just investing will not give you such but investing consistently you make you build a good position. I personally invest every week as well with the use of DCA is strategy.

Meanwhile you don't have to think that way towards bitcoin investment, it is not guaranteed and if you set your mind to be that way (guaranteed) anything that happens will hurt you so bad because of to way you have set your mindset
But if you are open for anything for better for worst and you still invest any ways that is what is right to do

[bhadz]

You know investing in Bitcoin is not just only about investing, you also have to invest consistently (weekly) to get a solid position. To some people after even ten years of good buy their profits will not be too attractive, but if you work now on how to get a good position by simply investing consistently

It is what I've been doing, but to say that it's not only investing, and you mentioned consistent investing, that's the whole point about it, isn't it?

and also hard work via job to get a bigger dictionary income for higher investment, your potential profits in future will be very significant.
So work now on getting a good position instead of thinking of selling.

I think you meant here is discretionary income. We have to understand that not everyone is in a job that pays high. That's why if someone isn't working for a job that pays high, this might misled them into thinking that they're no longer qualified to invest. Investing to bitcoin is for everyone. For as long as you're using your own money to it and whether you're in a low or high paying job and you manage to allot a budget for it, do it consistently and you're doing better than the rest.

[salad daging]

It might not be easy as you think to some investors to accumulate consistently, but to those who can stay strong in the mindset you had, let them do. But since different investors has different understanding and different source of funds, it won't be possible for some to consistently grab some quantity.

This fact is easy to say, but difficult to do consistently, for those who are able to mean good to maintain the position of the original plan to the long term.
We are always constrained from uncertain sources of funds, every month the salary received sometimes there are urgent needs that are spent or cannot be spent on bitcoin, as long as you don't despair whenever you buy it next time with a good chance it's still a good plan as long as you don't sell the btc you have at low prices.

[BRINIRHA]

Unfortunately there is no guarantee here because since the beginning bitcoin investment is risky and there is no guarantee of any kind of profit even though the expectation is always like that.

But to sell of course it is not an option especially now so it will be more worth it if we increase the charge when we do have the money to buy it because it would be quite naive or maybe I would say this is a stupid action if we Force sell our bitcoin when the price is discounted and we still lose.
For some cases selling when they still have a profit maybe this is understandable because they have already made a profit even though the percentage is small but when selling just because of the panic of further decline it is not worth it for me.

Profit is never a guarantee while investing in bitcoin, which is why if you’re starting your investment you should prioritize more of long term investments, there are people who have been buying and accumulating bitcoin for a long term now, they’ve not had a good reasonable amount of profits, instead they are more interested in buying and accumulating bitcoin regularly, if you have gotten to a certain level of accumulation stages and you feel satisfied and you have gotten to over accumulation stages, you can decide to take some part of your profits that doesn’t mean that you’re taking all your Capital.

[Findingnemo]

Nothing is guaranteed if you want the returns then you need to take the risk of losing your capital which is literally how the investment works. People who don't even realize that 4 year is still a short-term plan in the traditional investment market but with Bitcoin, they consider it like a lifetime of holding.

If you want to get rich over night then buy lotteries, everything else will take time.

[Oasisman]

What's the point of selling at this price when there's a bigger profit ahead of you in the future.

Not everyone is a long term holder, some are shorting Bitcoin, especially experienced traders. We can't just assume that everyone who sells are weak hands.
So, the point of selling early is the same as long term holder. The only difference is that traders are actively taking profit while avoiding losses, and holders prefer a sedentary strategy.

Bear market is a threat for weak hands and it's only them that panic and sell while

And it's also a threat for some traders, due to low liquidity as more people move towards safer assets.

I think there's nothing wrong with selling as long as you are profiting. This kind of strategy is challenging, that's why more people prefer DCA and long term holding, then develop misconceptions that selling is wrong.

Profit is never a guarantee while investing in bitcoin, which is why if you’re starting your investment you should prioritize more of long term investments, there are people who have been buying and accumulating bitcoin for a long term now, they’ve not had a good reasonable amount of profits, instead they are more interested in buying and accumulating bitcoin regularly, if you have gotten to a certain level of accumulation stages and you feel satisfied and you have gotten to over accumulation stages, you can decide to take some part of your profits that doesn’t mean that you’re taking all your Capital.

Like every other investments nothing is guaranteed to give you your desired profit in the future and Bitcoin investment is no exception, Bitcoin is a volatile and from it's history it is an asset that takes time before it gets to a peak price after an ATH. It is recommended that we should have a long term goal while accumulating, also DCA strategy is recommended so that you don't have to be monitoring the market which can be a distraction.

Because profit is not guaranteed that is why we should use amount that we can afford to lose to buy Bitcoin, if you always use big amounts according to your capacity to buy you will be tempted to sell prematurely when price continues to dip. What we know is that Bitcoin has the potentials to reach ATH at the same we shouldn't use all our savings to accumulate it, make provisions for your other discretionary wants.

[Rain1620]

It actually requires psychology, calculations, and patient to manage panic during market dips. So motivating yourself on the longterm benefits may actually help save you from selling even when the panic gets worse.

But then, I’ll not come to a conclusion that selling out when the market is crashing makes one lack the whole potentials of a real investor.
I believe that everyone has a limit to their risk tolerance and sometimes the plans may be genuine, I mean one may really need the liquidity for another life investment outside crypto. That one reason I’ll never judge them.
But then it is a necessity to always have a cash for normal day to day activities and also for emergencies. This is what helps many hold through during the market dip because they can always survive without falling back to their savings.

I don’t think there is anything like guaranteed profits. I’ll just take it as an assumption. So prioritizing personal risk is actually a pillar that can help one pull through. Actually The biggest flex is  having enough to an extent where you can comfortably leave your investment untouched for long.

[knowngunman]

So out of fear, doubt etc some Investors sell their coins especially now that the market is a low price,

$63k+ is a low price? Well, if you're talking from the point of ATH, it's fairly low but if we look back at the history, the current price is reasonably high. It depends on how early you are in the journey. For early adopters, they're still in profit but investors that start late when the price is slightly higher than this are the ones panicking now.

I do tell my self in times like this that my profits are guaranteed (even if they are not guaranteed, it's just a way to lead your mind) and with that in mind I have no thoughts of selling , instead I buy more to get a better position.

This is what every investor should do. Profit is not guaranteed is a slogan to warn people not to invest what they can not afford to lose but deep down we are optimistic about the profit and that's why we keep investing even when the market is down. We believe holding long term guarantees profit.

You know investing in Bitcoin is not just only about investing, you also have to invest consistently (weekly) to get a solid position.

By investing consistently, I believe you mean DCA. That's not necessary for every investor. DCA is a good strategy for investors who can not buy at once. It allows you to accumulate bitcoin as small as possible instead of waiting to have huge amount to buy at once.
