it is normal to feel the temptation to sell specially now that we are in the bullish market and how much are we feeling here?

i almost sell everything that time and now that this is how much we are expecting in this time and maybe till next year .

Definitely, one can still be tempted to sell their bitcoin though i don't see it much as a temptation if actually you fall in the category of those who have been hodling for long and have reached your level of accumulation and have been waiting for an opportunity to sell some of your bitcoins. Selling bitcoin is not a problem but it only becomes a problem is when you are tempted to sell all just because you have seen that you made some good profits while doing a check and balance of how much you have invested, and how much you have been able to make as profits.

The essence of holding Bitcoin for long term is to accumulate more Bitcoin so that when you finally decide to sell at a favourable price you won't encounter any loss but you will take profit then target another crash in price for you to acquire more Bitcoin to hold, there's no need to see it as a temptation when there is need to sell from your portfolio to sort out a need but it becomes a disaster after selling everything only to realize a pump resulting to an increase in the price of Bitcoin you will find it difficult to forgive yourself that is why you need to discipline yourself as a strong holder never to make the mistakes of selling all your Bitcoin even when you are in profit. Have a backup plan when you decide to sell some Bitcoin and never make the mistake of touching your backup Bitcoin savings.
There were people who do really that say that holding is really just that easy or something that doesnt really need up any effort but honestly this is something a tough thing that you will be ever be doing because despite on having no action nor making up short trades or being active when it comes to Bitcoin or crypto investments on which you would be having still some problems on trying out to sustain and having that control even just you do simply accumulate and holding up your cryptocurrencies into your wallet. The biggest challenge you would really be having is to survive those temptation of selling out whenever the market crashes or you are seeing that your portfolio is really that making out such huge negative.

We are all guilty into this one or simply a very common investing mistake on which whenever emotions do really kicks in then it will really be that starting for you to have some huge issues when it  comes to this one and ending up on having those regrets in the end of the line that you shouldnt have sell out your coins and holding up instead because the market do make out some recovery. We do know that market couldnt really be just that doing some dumping prices forever on which there's really a time that it will be shooting up into the moon. Instead on panicking on bearish period, why we cant just that accumulate even more and seeing this to be a good opportunity?

It's all risky, only those who understand the financial market and the risks that comes with it would be able to benefit from it. It's normal to be tempted to sell in order to avoid losses but the dip and rise is a constant movement in the market, so what if after selling the price goes up after a couple of months, you'd start regretting your actions. My advice for anyone into long term investment is to keep hodling. Bitcoin is definitely moving towards a promising direction this year, just make sure that you don't put in your life savings in there, crypto can be very funny.
The crypto market can be volatile week after week, but you should consider proper valuations and levels before you put too much faith in it and where there are countless shitcoins in the market. Bitcoin is going through some corrections in terms of credibility, making it a risk-free investment option for investors. I find Bitcoin easier to invest in for the long term and it has been relatively consistent in terms of returns.

Investors who want to keep their capital in proper consideration and competition should continue to deposit Bitcoin in a DCA strategy and strengthen their investment base. To keep their capital intact from losses, it is recommended to buy at regular intervals so that your portfolio shows the average purchase price even during price fluctuations and you make the right decisions during bullish times.

Long term wise it's true that bitcoin provide decent return, just a matter of knowing and understanding the market and how things are moving without hesitating, those who have that strong faith and trust to this venue of investment they are willing to hold as even how tough the situation while downfall is ongoing, they are not being shaken as they know that the market will bounce back and they already have set targets in terms of releasing or selling their assets.

To be honest, the market is very confusing to me right now. It's as if I made the wrong choice a few days ago for buying and adding more to my bag with the expectation of seeing a turn around in the market, when I could have just waited a little longer and bought now that the market is even going a bit deeper, which we can't even predict how dip the market will go this month. Not in a hurry to sell, but it's profiting to know when some will take advantage of a situation.
Everyone has experienced the same thing as you. But make sure you will learn from experience slowly. Because what really confuses us is our own fear. When the price drops sharply, we start to panic. Although it is not the end, it is all the whale strategy that is playing their game, and shaking the mentality of small traders like us.

When the price drops, they sell massively, making the price fall. The goal is only one, which is to make you give up, sell your assets and they know that fear is the most powerful weapon when you get out, they start making big plans. So don't let that happen again, we must be able to control our emotions, understand the game. Then be patient, because you will not be confused anymore if you have no fear. Holding bitcoin does not need fear because bitcoin is indeed for long-term investment.

Didn't have the temptation, however, there were some bills that has left unnoticed this December for me. And so it has accumulated till January and I forget to foot the bill and so it has piled up. And since I was not able to budget and totally forget it due to the holidays, then I have to withdraw some of my stash to be able to pay it. The good thing is that the price rose to $97,000, so I guess there's nothing wrong with withdrawing with that price.

Although I have regret it, but it was all my fault and I don't want to borrow or to make a loan and so I just decided to do it. And with that, I will have to start again and reset everything. But I will be fine though, it's that there are some emergencies and you can't do anything about it.

i almost sell everything that time and now that this is how much we are expecting in this time and maybe till next year .

The temptation is real, and it doesn't only come when we are in the bullish market; we also have that thought when we enter a bearish season. For those who don't have the mind to pass through that stage because of the fear of not knowing what will happen next in the market, some try to grab what they have seen with their eyes and then hope for a recovery market.
 
Some use the idea of selling in the bull season and waiting for a bearish market to rebuy, which, if anyone took that decision when the price got to $108k when the price dropped down to $92k, could have been a good entry point for them, which they could have gotten more bitcoin than they sold, but such opportunities don't always come, and the outcome can't always be positive.

It's great when you have a plan at where to buy and sell - and follow the markers you've put for yourself, not emotions or the actions that your gut basically dictates.
It's easier said than done - but it's important to follow suit in the needed direction to achieve something, not when the market pushes you toward doing something via dips / etc.
We do know that not all will really be that short term or day traders on which there are those who would really be just that simply buy up and hold up for long term.
Tempted to sell? It will really be that in accordance into your preference. When it comes to selling then it will be rather selling for profits or selling because of panic on which you could really be able to distinguish in between both things on which one is on the positive side and which one is on the negative side. Speaking about selling because of panic then this will really be that only possible for those who are just new into this market, even into those older or veteran ones on which there are really indeed tendencies that they do panic out despite of being experienced. Just like on what everyone is really that saying that experience will really be that an edge because you do really know on what you should gonna do since you are wary about on how this market works. We do know that we do have that market cycles and even if you do consider out on holding for long term but if this one means about in between cycles then you should be that mindful about on selling or securing profits while on the peak price. The question is, how you would be able to consider out the peak? It will really be that depending on the actions that you are taking. Numbers might be that a bit stagnant for a while now and making up some major moment as we do go nearer into that bull run season on what everyone is really that waiting for. Tempting out to sell might be because of securing profits or you will be that selling out because of panic. It is really that a very common scenario for most people who do made out such actions due to various actions.
Sure, the temptation is really much to sell with the current trend of price  recently. But it's actually a good time to buy more. Risk it and buy instead of of falling for the temptations of selling. Price rise is sure in no distance time.

Thats why its really that important that whenever you are already contented into the profit that you had made then the best thing to do is to secure it out once you are that having that kind of chance, but if you are really that holding up for long term then this will be that a stress free thing because you do just simply holding up your position and never make yourself that being easily affected with market conditions. Profit is profit and this will really be your main target or goals because on the time that you do keep on worrying about your investment then it will be that always that recommended that you should be that having that risks management at the time or moment that you do make out some investment. On the time or moment that you will be having that excessive investment on which you had put up that entirely put your life savings with it on which this is really that a very risks thing to do. On the moment that you will be having that investment then its best that you should really know your limits on which at the time that market do make out shifts then you do really know on what you would gonna do.

This is very important, the truth is things are very good when you have objectives, but I have a strategy, when you are reaching the limit it is simple, you can withdraw at least 15% or 20% and from then on continue letting it run in profits, and thus not cut the investment profits, if that can be done when we trade, it is also valid in investment, the important thing of all is that you can be a profitable person and be aware of making reinvestments if the price drops than expected, I think it is the most intelligent way to make investments.

Yes, in fact, if you want to get something good by investing in a volatile currency like Bitcoin, the investor must have a long-term investment plan. The most important thing is to "not sell" "just hold", and to invest using DCA for this investment.
The temptation is within everyone, but those who can control their emotions and hold for the long term will have the most chance of success.
You should always keep yourself in control, never make any hasty decisions (Because it will only harm us). Every investor must make strategic decisions. And yes, if there is an opportunity during the price correction, you should invest again.
Not only opportunities, but when there is still capital that is not used in other things, of course it will not be wrong for every investor to use it again to buy Bitcoin when a correction occurs because it can also be brought into the DCA strategy as an effort to buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long term. And for decisions made emotionally due to a little temptation of profit, of course, it will not always be good and even on average it is not good. Because this can also be a regret later when the price of Bitcoin is much higher than it is now.

Actually, it is still quite profitable if you have not sold everything when you saw the price increase in early December, because everyone who is still holding and holding their best assets until now still has the opportunity to be able to sell at a much higher price in 2025. Temptation is always there and comes to everyone for anything, but we must be able to respond to all of these things as well as possible so that we do not immediately let go of everything at one time even though we may all still be able to buy again at another time when there is a price correction.

that's right, when someone has achieved their goal, then they can choose to sell some of the investment they made and use the money for whatever they want, whether it's a vacation, buying goods, or just securing profit. there are many investors who hold back from selling even when their goal has been achieved, and when the price of bitcoin drops they regret why they didn't sell when the price was right. tnvestment should make us enjoy it, not the other way around, makes us stressed and unable to enjoy it.
A very good opinion, everyone has different Money Management arrangements, besides that not everyone has free money, some use money for living needs, some even owe money to certain parties to invest in Bitcoin, so the selling price set by each person varies according to personal circumstances or the current market situation, so that if the target has been reached they choose to sell for certain reasons.

And that is a great goal, very understandable and the truth is I support it, there is nothing better than having a good time with the family and more so if you have been saving in btc for a long time and if you have benefits then you have to enjoy it, and each one of us has different objectives, goals and that is the most important thing, as long as you have objectives and they are achieved one should take it and enjoy it, that is what life is about, I consider that we come to this world to enjoy and have a good time, not to have a bad time, and if happiness is in the family then you have to do what is necessary for it.

Well, it's really better to keep holding if you want to gain more. However, having a plan and goal are crucial because the result is sometimes not what we expected it to be. Just like the consistent increase in price of our holdings, bearish season is inevitable too which we can't predict accurately when it might going to happen.

Therefore, taking profit is advisable. I hold my Bitcoin for years already and it already reached my target price to sell. Though it's good to do so, I just sell some and decided to keep the 50% of my assets. This way, regardless of the price will turn up or down, I already enjoy some of my earnings hence i'm not going to feel bad about my decision to take profit.

Yes, it is true that Bitcoin can reach from bullish to bearish at any time. But a big advantage of investing in Bitcoin is that even if an investor does not make profit in the short term, he will definitely make profit in the long term. What the investor has to do is to deposit Bitcoin regularly. If you can be strong and determined in  any market situation, then Bitcoin investment will definitely be profitable in the long term. Everyone who has been holding Bitcoin from the beginning or for a long time according to their time has benefited.

If the market is bearish, it will be bullish again, and if it is bullish, it will also be bearish. If you can control your emotions and make long-term investments regularly, then the chances of making a profit will definitely increase. We cannot make accurate predictions about Bitcoin, but according to the probability, the predictions are actually coming true.

At least you have enjoyed the satisfaction of the price target you have achieved. And the added value, you still have some of your assets to hold with your other bigger plans.
Realistically people who have targets will certainly do the same thing as you. But some invest in Bitcoin to have more. So the price increase we just saw may not tempt you to easily let it go.
Each investor's plan and level of satisfaction are different. Everyone must know the best way to manage their investments. It's still millions to achieve profit.
