Many posts discuss the possibility of exchange earnings with selling Bitcoin (and buy later). Other posts discuss the Bitcoin exchange rate, it seems that many agree there is a strong upward tendency and the volatility is hard to predict. It seems dat selling Bitcoin results in a serious probability of an opportunity loss. Selling Bitcoin can only be motivated by an (partial) exit. Do you agree?

Well, I do not think that selling Bitcoin is a hundred percent opportunity loss. Why, in the first place, did that someone sold his/her Bitcoin? To gain the profit right? And by gaining the profit would mean that he/she is harvesting the fruits of the opportunity he/she grabbed certain time ago. So I believe that it is not an opportunity loss, but rather a point of touching the profit you earned.

Yeah, if you say selling your Bitcoin before the price of it increasing up, it just is a regret unreasonable, because the price you decision for sell your Bitcoin is your hope, your target and you feeling satisfied with this price.

maybe those who sell btc before the split were regretting now for the decision they made since btc value were increasing fast. I do regret converting my btc onto our fiat.

This is somehow true. Those who panic before august 1 and sold their bitcoin, have lost their opportunity to profit from their saving. Before that I also have lost that chance by selling half of my bitcoins. I regret it. But what can I do. But half of bitcoins left in my wallet have profit also. So still thankful.

That is the effect of having not enough patience and lack of knowledge with that segwit .For those who keep and believe is the winner and have a free coin which a equals to a free money from bcc. I will only say that in bitcoins no matter what just keep holding and you will be rewarded for it than to trigger yourself in that Dump scenes.

Holding bitcoin is fun, I can attest. But if you hold too tightly, you may actually cost yourself a bit of opportunity.

Bitcoin will go up, generally. But sometimes its goes backward, for apretty long time. If you remember the Great Slide after Gox folded, it went down, slowly, for an eternity. It didnt bounce right back either, it took a while to regain 1000, to where we are today. If you held during those times, you lost ALOT of opportunity. You could have purchased a real world asset with the money, achieved ROI for profit, and repurchased bitcoin, possibly cheaper than what you sold it for.

I say all that to say this; while bitcoin is a wonderful growth/safe haven asset, it is one of many. Look for profit from all spheres, not just crypto. You may miss an opportunity while sitting around 'hodling". Wink

And to say in your favor, I would like to add here that no amount saved is too small or no amount sold is too big.
One can even hold until they die and decide to have those coins used by their children when they grow up, but that would cost a life and to tie ourselves with a bondage of not selling bitcoins could really cost us loss of time as well as money, because if you don't use the money when it's needed the most, then it's of no use in future even if it costs xx times than it used to be.

Now you can make a lot of money selling bitcoins, but buying them now is very expensive anyway, you can pay off even more.

Selling your bitcoin doesn’t mean opportunity loss, though it’s always good to at least save some of them. And if you’re buying, always know that no amount purchased is too low, even if you purchased half of a bitcoin, it’s still a good investment cause the will surely grow.

If we go for analyzing only the long-term holder is are making use of the good returns, bitcoin is providing. So, we must try to hold bitcoin without selling them for whatever reasons. We can save and holding bitcoin which must be ensuring great opportunity in coming years.

if we buy bitcoin when the price is down like its happen a few days ago, then we can sell our bitcoin in any of price for now because today the price is increase than before and of course we can make profit. but for me, i think it will be good if we don't sell all of our bitcoin and we can save the other amount bitcoin in our wallet because in future, the price will increase more than now. but don't be too greedy and dreams to make big profit because sometime you can loss the profit that you can get.

Yes,if you are selling bitcoins,then you are losing a good opportunity to earn huge profits.Like this,many people lost their opportunity by just selling their bitcoins for just $1850 last month due to the fear of hard fork.So,better hold your bitcoins in a long term basis for huge returns.

It's true, it would be better if we can hold it so we can get bigger profits when prices start to soar. But sometimes people are panicking because of the many issues that discuss bitcoin prices going down and they decide to sell all the bitcoins.

I think it depend upon the price if you buy it in a verry low amount and sell it in high amount .i think in this case we are not loosing. But if we hold it for a long time maybe it will be more profitable.

I regret for selling 3.5 btc late last year at a price of about $ 1050, when it was a lot of issues that say bitcoin prices will drop but it turns out stable prices even rise at the beginning of the year. My advice, do not sell bitcoin now.

The only reason why I will agree that its a regret, is if you had bought earlier at an higher price or else you had made a profit but wanting a super profit most times we focus on the selling at the low price without considering the point of buying at lower price. I have made some sale at some point in which I had wished I waited till this moment but I did not regret because if put under the same condition as the time then, I would still do the same thing.

I think Bitcoin rebound after Aug. 1 is not too hard to predict. Selling Bitcoin before is completely false and leads to losses. On the forum, there were many posts on whether or not to sell. You must have sold it, and now you will regret it when someone else owns your Bitcoin.

Selling bitcoin now is selling at lose compare to what the price will be in future! The coins is still at the infancy stage and no matter what happens in years to come bitcoin will be above $10,000. Many people are sell out of panic but professional traders don't do such trade. The amateurs are spamming they had earning money by buy bitcoin at a particular time and when price decreases from their purchasing position out of panic sell the coins at lose. Many of them buy bitcoin at $2,500 and sell it at loses of $2,000 or below. You will only lose bitcoin if you sell.

I think the "serious probability of an opportunity loss by selling bitcoin" you are talking is about, if you sell your bitcoin today because the price is low is wating the opportunity to become rich. WHy ? because bitcoin price increases by that time the person who buy your bitcoin will be the one to get the big amount because they have bitcoin.
