I have never heard anyone I would swap all of their fiat into BTC even when they believe in Bitcoin so much, they would still have some cash in Bank. If you truly heard that a lot, and you hear it from your friendship circle I suggest you to just stay away and get another friends, they are either liar or crazy both are bad things.

Why are you saying that? I get why some folks wanna ditch traditional banks.  You gotta admit they seem shady sometimes.  Like, what's really going on behind the scenes, ya know? And it bugs people they ain't fully in control of their dough.  Plus you got worries about the government messing stuff up or everyone making a run on the bank and cleaning it out.  I can see why Bitcoin sounds good to people and  more transparency potentially, right? You control your own money. What's wrong with that?

I didn't meant that Bitcoin is not a good investment, it's very good, but even, people would put all of their money into one investment asset.

Many people still consider bitcoin not only as an investment asset, but as money as well.

For now, selling all FIAT assets and exchanging them for BTC is a pretty good step because next year Bitcoin will be halving, which will make the price rise, so take advantage of a moment like this to buy Bitcoin when the price is still cheap, because if you buy when the price is high, then that is a fatal mistake because you can get trapped at high prices. The bull run will come soon, so prepare yourself. If you only save the money you have in FIAT, it will not produce results, and the assets you own will not grow. Meanwhile, if you invest in Bitcoin, the possibility of assets growing is very high.

It's true that having bitcoin is better than fiat, but that doesn't mean we have to sell everything to buy bitcoin. Fiat is still needed for you to spend on daily needs and for emergency money if you need it at any time. So, be wise in investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin is indeed the asset of the future, but that doesn't mean we are too blind so we forget our needs, even if our place of residence is for sale. This is not a wise decision in investing in bitcoin.

Don't be too forced to invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is very volatile so maybe if you sell everything to invest in bitcoin it won't necessarily be in accordance with your target and if your target is not achieved your finances will be in disarray. Investing in bitcoin must have separate funds between needs funds and cold funds to invest in bitcoin, that way you will feel comfortable when investing in bitcoin without excessive worry.

So I have heard a lot of people say this.  Such that they are going to withdraw all of their money from the bank and buy BTC.  And things like will sell their car and house and possessions and all that to buy btc.  Many say they will do this and be all in with BTC so to speak.

I have never heard anyone would swap all of their fiat into BTC even when they believe in Bitcoin so much, they would still have some cash in Bank.

First off, this doesn't make any sense.  You have to have fiat so you can spend it on food and fiat in the bank to pay for bills and property taxes if you own a house etc.  So when people say they are all in on BTC, they obviously still mean enough cash in the bank for your basic bills things?  Like they still have at least 2k usd or 5k usd or 10k usd in the bank?  Or for people with lot of money, well still at least 500k usd in the bank right etc?  


Now say someone has 50k in the bank.  Say their house is worth 500k and they sell that.  Well if they do, let say they have around 525k in the bank after taxes for selling their house.  That person owns nothing else.  Well you going to have to rent an apartment since you need a place to stay.  So how can this person even be all in with BTC then?  I mean they surely will still have at least 50k in the bank still like previously right?  But now that 475k or so from the proceeds of selling the house will be sent to an exchange to buy like 10 btc?  So this person's net worth now in terms of btc to their cash would literally be like almost 90%.  Isn't this very risky for someone who converts cash to crypto in terms of risk?  




Firstly, when people say they're going all in, they meant they have no reservations when it comes to that particular investment decision.

Although the statement "going all in" might vary with people, it doesn't advise people to sell off all properties and be left with zero account balance for their daily needs and life generally.

No matter what happens, fiat is still needed and no matter how much p2p has circulated in cities, you still have that one need for fiat before an entire day burns out

If you have savings in a bank, let's say 1 million dollars, would you take them all out of the bank and sell them all in Bitcoin? Do you have nothing left for the necessities of your life? like expenses and prime commodities?

Remember, when you do that, you can't just do long-term holdings there; you must also know something about trading so that you have a source of income that is also a source because you have daily expenses as well. And Bitcoin is a volatile asset, which means its price value is also upside down in the market.

As for me selling landed properties, and personal possessions and all because of Bitcoin is not a wise decision and that can break relationship if the person is married. Just as the op said, you you must meer up you daily living demands and if you fall to meet up your responsibilities as a family man then you have a problem in the family. Bitcoin is not a get quick rich scheme whereby you can invest in it and reap it with a week or a Month but for years. And when you investing in it you have to start it when the price is low so that you can have some profits when the price is high.

And now if you invest with all the money and Bitcoin price drastically come down and with that fear of losing the funds, you sell them off at a lower rate. Then you becomes a losers of the investment.
Unless that person have his/her own property then I don't think it isn't a wise decision. If I have more than one property that is mine alone let's just say I am married and I have other properties that if I sell it I need my wife's permission and such so I would only sell the ones that is/are mine alone where I don't need someone else's permission to sell it which will be used to buy Bitcoin to invest or trading. I understand your point which is true that a relationship may be broken because of selling a property which belongs to the husband and wife but my point is that the husband have his own property that isn't shared with the wifie then that would be okay e.g. man and woman = land 1,2 and then man = land 3,4 which is what he will sell to buy Bitcoin which means there's no relationship that will be destroyed.

Doesn't it make sense to sell all your assets to buy bitcoin and even withdraw your savings from the bank just for bitcoin? Is it not going to be complicated, now that not all countries accept bitcoin, fiat is still needed because this will still be your daily use for other purposes.

So I say it is really stupid if someone does this, although I have heard a story in the article where someone sold his house just to buy bitcoin, but I did not pay attention to that story further.

Bitcoin is very fluctuating, volatile, any time the price can go down so this is clearly very risky if all the money you have is at stake in bitcoin, then I think this is very difficult to happen because someone already understands how fiat is important for usability in paying for anything, now fiat can be used for reserve funds, emergencies or savings, but you also have to be able to have bitcoin as an investment and fiat is still needed.

BTC all-in makes sense only if you don't plan to get a bank loan anytime soon, also you have enough savings to drive through the hard times (aka bear market downswings).
 
Have a house, great, you can borrow against it. Have bitcoin, tradfi is gonna look at you like to an alien, you'll gonna have way less options

So having a house on your name, borrowing $$ against it, and putting the dollars into bitcoin at the right time makes more sense to me.

I am pretty sure that when people say sell "all" they do not mean the money they are going to buy milk with next day, that's not the point. Most people have two separate accounts, one where they invest, and one where they spend. You may have 800 dollars in your spending account, while also have 8k dollars in your savings, two separate places and not at the same place, could be even different banks and in this case could be bitcoin too. When they say they want to sell it all, they mean the savings, the investment, could be interest account, could be stocks, could be gold, doesn't really matter, just have money in your account for living, and rest all goes to bitcoin, and I have been like that for 7 years now.
Of course, most people who say this have already separated their budget for investment and for the family basic needs and necessities. No one will decide to risk all his fiat in an investment where profitability is still not highly 100% guaranteed, as some may still end up losing most especially those who are new in the field. So given this fact, an investor knows already and has seen it coming that he might also lose in the end, that's why investing on the amount that is manageable to lose is very important.

The safe strategy is only invest when you have extra money. All investments are still unsafe, so invest and just don't expect that everything will go according to your plan. Expect the unexpected in any of your investment.

Most likely, when we heard going all in for bitcoin, it does not necessarily mean that all his fiat will go definitely for bitcoin. No one is at the right thinking that he will invest all his money in bitcoin without reserving some fiat to his other needs and for his emergency funds. If you are a responsible investor, you know already what to prioritize and that investing should never be on top but saving for emergency funds first and saving for the needs of the family, and then if there are spare money left, that will go to the planned investment.

Selling all fiat for bitcoin may rare to happen or may never happen at all. Bitcoin is a risky investment, so one should plan it with caution to avoid regretting in the end.

People say a lot when they say it but when they do they don't cross the line. Many say sell house to invest bitcoin, sell grandfather's property to invest bitcoin, sell car to invest bitcoin, sell laptop to invest bitcoin, take loan from bank to sell bitcoin, etc. In reality, people never do this. In fact investing in bitcoins does not require selling these things if people are a little bit aware of investing. It is impossible to move without these things which are very necessary for people in the way of life. I would never do all these things to invest in bitcoin with my own thinking and keep 50% to 40% of weekly income for bitcoin future plans. But this investment of mine must be long-term.

Bro, why are you making things difficult with your idea by putting these unreasonable scenarios, do you really think a person will sell his/her house to buy Bitcoins, be realistic you all accumulate according to our capacity. Going out of the way in any market to gain financial freedom can be a non-recoverable disaster.

TBH, I have some Bitcoin figures, I want to have 1M Bitcoins but I cant have them, obviously, so I know to which limit I can accumulate and prepare myself. While investing there should be an investment approach even in Bitcoin it should not be gambling.

Well, I would not recommend that you buy cryptocurrency with all your blood, it would be wise to invest part of the money but not everything from the account, this will no longer be an investment but some kind of casino, and you need to invest very thoroughly, carry out analysis and so on.

There is no right and wrong in this one. It all depends on how the investor manages it. If I am going to buy Bitcoin  then that would be some share of my salary or any extra income that I might be earning. It is never full share of my salary or the other income. That way I am keeping it simple as well as easy to manage. This doesnt compromise my Bitcoin and Fiat but it balances out both.

If you think putting everything into Bitcoin can make it simple then personally I feel it risky one. Bitcoin is highly volatile. It may preserve the number of Bitcoin but it wont preserve its fiat value all the time. Now its upto the perspective of investors whether they are counting their money in fiat or crypto while doing the purchases.

Withdrawing all the money from the bank and invest them into bitcoin does not mean they don’t have anything left in their account. They will definitely keep some of them for personal use. Bitcoin investment does not necessitate you to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation that you will be living a regretting life. Those that sell their belongings and investments in other places are just doing that because they feel bitcoin will give them more profit overtime than what they’ve invested their money into.

I am not in support of people selling their home to buy bitcoin, but other things that are not necessarily needed now can be sold to invest in bitcoin. Having a roof under your head is the best thing for anyone, unless you live in a very big house that you can sell and get a smaller one of comfort, but not settling for a rented apartment.  Everyone thinks differently and have different views on how they want their investment to be, whatever works for amyone is what they will go for but that shouldn’t make your life miserable after the investment.

Of course it is just figurative speech, there is only few country that you could live with only crypto or Bitcoin.
You would still need to have money for your necessities, and the risk that they are taking are all for the long term profit, their net worth could go down a few when they convert their assets into crypto, but they are doing it for a long term investment.

People who can think of something like that have realized that instead of keeping all their money in a bank that earns interest annually up to 2%, it would be better to invest somewhere like in Bitcoin. Some Bitcoin supporters, those who fully believe in Bitcoin can risk everything including their car and house that's why people can say something like this.

First off, this doesn't make any sense.  You have to have fiat so you can spend it on food and fiat in the bank to pay for bills and property taxes if you own a house etc.  So when people say they are all in on BTC, they obviously still mean enough cash in the bank for your basic bills things?  Like they still have at least 2k usd or 5k usd or 10k usd in the bank?  Or for people with lot of money, well still at least 500k usd in the bank right etc?  
People know that. Investing everything they have in Bitcoin doesn't mean they don't leave enough money to spend in a month. Have you thought of it that way wherein no one in this world can live without eating?

Now say someone has 50k in the bank.  Say their house is worth 500k and they sell that.  Well if they do, let say they have around 525k in the bank after taxes for selling their house.  That person owns nothing else.  Well you going to have to rent an apartment since you need a place to stay.  So how can this person even be all in with BTC then?  I mean they surely will still have at least 50k in the bank still like previously right?  But now that 475k or so from the proceeds of selling the house will be sent to an exchange to buy like 10 btc?  So this person's net worth now in terms of btc to their cash would literally be like almost 90%.  Isn't this very risky for someone who converts cash to crypto in terms of risk?  

It is risky, however, if you truly believe in the technology, you can risk everything for the sake of your future. Bitcoin is a long-term investment that is the goal of those people who are willing to risk everything they have.

"Sell all" does not actually mean that you also have to compromise the funds intended for your basic needs. The money intended for investment is separate from the money that will be used for paying bills, insurance, medication and the basic necessities of the family. Otherwise, your life will be a mess if it turns out that your chosen investment never works and your capital has been wasted.

We should always stick to the basic rule to only invest what we can afford to lose. We don't actually hold the future of our investments so always invest at its own risk.
