Furthermore, I feel we need more uses for BTC to be fully confident in what we are projecting. More people and institutions have to see the need to integrate cryptocurrency payments systems conveniently. This comes with more effort and this is where those of us who believe in this technology have put effort at educating people in this regard.
In all, I truly feel lucky to have joined early!
I don't know if we need "cryptocurrency" payment systems, but if you are referring to bitcoin, then perhaps? There are always ongoing developments in bitcoin, and surely there can be questions regarding how user-friendly some of the systems happen to be, while at the same time, there are some battles that seem to ongoingly be taking place, and so sometimes normies might be reluctant to attempt to integrate some of the systems that might interact with legacy systems because of a lot of variance in terms of regulatory matters.. A vast majority of countries are likely not even close to as open as El Salvador in terms of trying to keep regulatory obstacles to a minimum, and so there can be other solutions that allow for bitcoin transactions to happen without necessarily interacting with legacy systems, and maybe that might be where crypto could come into the scene.. but I hate to imply that shitcoins are even needed when bitcoin has systems that are being built and tested in lightning systems, but surely there may well be experiments that are needed when it comes to both user-friendliness and achieving higher levels of adoptions that might relate to wider sections of the population getting tempted to use various bitcoin systems.. beyond merely storing value in it.. and even storing value is not a bad thing.. but I get your point in regards to usage potentially helping bring awareness and potentially getting more normies involved in bitcoin and incentivized to learn more about it.
You may or may not be able to buy BTC back for a price that is less than the amount that you sold, including at around $100k, so any calculation that you make in regards to whether and/or how much you sell should include considerations that you may or may not be able to buy back the amount that you sold, especially for cheaper than the price that you sold them at.
I do not disagree with any of the thrust of what you are saying sokani, yet there can be ways to attempt to do all of the things that you discuss including having a regular DCA and then having various amounts of cash that is in reserves in case the BTC price happens to drop and to have buy orders at various price locations on the way down (or to watch and to conduct those buy orders manually). Accordingly currently the 200-week moving average is currently at $27,098, and so the extent to which we might get BTC prices below the 200-week moving average beyond spikes do not seem to be high probability events, yet of course, there are a variety of scenarios that could end up playing out that are not easy to calculate in advance, so in several senses, it remains a decently prudent and practical strategy to attempt to prepare for a variety of scenarios while realizing that whenever we attempt to prepare for a variety of scenarios, we are going to end up somewhat diluting our BTC investment.. and so we have to attempt to plan and to employ a strategy that is sufficiently balanced for ourselves in such ways that we ar not going to be disappointed with our attempts to do the best that we can with the resources that we happen to have.
