When you arent that completely having no trust on this market specially with Bitcoin then you would likely ending up on selling your stash which is really a very common mistake to be done.
Those perma bulls would be really that sticking into their plans and the best time to accumulate cheaper coins when everyone is really on fear and doubt which do simply
shows out about blood on the streets.We do have that common saying that buy when others are fearful and sell when everyone is greedy.
Its a matter of mindset and a mix of your experience towards the market which would be basing on your future actions.
Yes, I did sell most of my bitcoins. Of course, the sale price could have been higher, but I am nevertheless pleased that I sold BTC at almost the maximum price and can now buy even more bitcoins than I had before. As for "buy when others are fearful and sell when everyone is", so many were already afraid and bought bitcoin when its price dropped to $30000 and are now just watching the market, as they have exhausted their stock of stablecoins.
Wish I could have done that, I am a long term holder and because of that I held my bitcoin when it was 5k but also held it when it was 65k as well, never sold, this caused me to have some profit now, but could had 3x more profit, close to 4x more profit right now.
If you had 1 bitcoin at 68k and sold it, that means you could have bought 4.25 bitcoins when the price went to 16k, wish I did that. It's still in profit so I am not upset, but when it goes to 100k lets say, one would have 100k, the other would have 425k dollars. That difference is huge, and people make money this way, do this a few times and you are a millionaire from all the ups and downs without putting more money in.
