Lucky that i made some selling couple days ago , actually before falling to 46k , as i badly needed funds for my Mothers Eye operation , so with this I am happy seeing it fall badly since yesterday.
But like OP and You , I am a bit surprise because i am having a second thought if will sell some bitcoin or will withdraw my funds in bank, so good decision on my part for this one.
Man, if I needed money for an emergency like that, I'm not even looking at the price or timing it, I'm choosing the fastest way to liquidate (which, thankfully for me, is still Localbitcoins, it gets me cash in less than a minute using a Trader "exchange bot").
I last needed a significant sum at the end of 2020, just as the rally was really starting to play out. I did feel a twinge of regret back in November for sure as it really was a chunk of my holdings, but the money was needed urgently and I didn't hesitate. I still sold above 2017 ATH, and on the balance, it was worth a hell lot more than if I'd saved in fiat, so absolutely pleased in the end anyway.
No point stacking if you can't use it to improve the lives of those dear to you, no?
