Although I am a new user I haven't spent much time here on this forum. But I already had some knowledge about Bitcoin since mid 2022. At that time I was in college and knew about Bitcoin since that time I saved my college stipend money and invested it in Bitcoin and gradually saved fractions of good Bitcoins there. When I collected and invested my stipend, Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point. I might have made more profit if I had held it longer, but I bought the thing by selling bitcoins for one of my essential tasks. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing. However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon. If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.
What you did was right, and you don't need to regret it because you sold BTC for work needs too. Because laptops are also part of investment tools, with a laptop it is easier for you to invest in analyzing charts and so on.
Now you have realized and experienced success from BTC because you have succeeded in buying a laptop from BTC profits. What you need to do now is buy more BTC even though you don't have a lot of money anymore, but you can pay in installments using DCA every time you have money, that way you still have the opportunity to get bigger profits from BTC when the bull market starts, there's no saying too late to buy btc.
