I have cashed out a few coins, not because I am scared or following the hype, I have over the years tried to become half reliant on bitcoin and mining, And I have bills to pay, so I have to secure a few months money whilst bitcoin does its thing.
I am still a total believer in bitcoin and I still hold a small wad in the hopes I can stop working lol
bitcoin in its very nature has huge spikes and plummets, just ride it people, its not a question of IF it will get there, its a question of WHEN.
Nothing wrong with cashing out as long as it isn't due to panic or any form of disbelief, which as you stated isn't the case.
People fail to understand that short term happenings won't have any impact on the long term price. It's an obvious fact that people can clearly see when looking at the all time charts.
That's exactly why I never get in panic or lose faith. I know Bitcoin with all its potential will recover from any sort of negativity caused by people's incompetence and greed.
