I promise myself that I will hold my coins till the price of BTC reach $100k before I will think of releasing the coins to the market to make some millions, but over one year and some months now the price don't want to reach $70k or $100k, and I feel like selling the coins to solve some issues in this current price $25k so that my neighbors will not laugh at me and my family because, I hat begging people to borrow money to solve problems than to use what I have at the moment to solve it. Well, if I sell the BTC now I will not regret because I bought the BTC when the price was $20k last year, and if I sell now at least I have little profits to make to solve the problem because there will surely be another bear to buy and hold again.
You are lucky to have an investment that you will use to solve your challenges. I cannot encourage you to borrow or beg when you have the means to address the situation yourself, borrowing or begging will be embarrassing. I understand your worried is to meet up with your target, your goal is to achieve $100k so that you can make a lot of profits before you start releasing your bitcoin.
Since you already know that begging or borrowing will disappoint you, so I think the $5k you made isn't a bad profit. Instead, sell it and start making plans for the future. DCA strategy will cover you to meet up again.
However, make sure you have a backup source of income so that you won't have to rely on your Bitcoin investment in the event of problems because long-term investors typically make more profits than short-term ones.
If you are investing, you have to take your eyes off of it and prevent anything that may distract you during the process, such as borrowing money to invest and always invest what you can afford to lose.
I was told that some people have been holding BTC over 7 or 8 years for the price of BTC to reach a particular price of their choice before they can sell, does it mean they don't have issues to solve by selling their BTC?
Investors who have been holding bitcoin for more than a year also have challenges to deal with, just like you do. However, from what I've observed, most investors look for ways to make money so they can use it to handle problems as they come up, without having to touch their bitcoin investment, which is how you make it to last for a long time investment.
