Just sold 5% of my Bitcoin that I've been holding for 3 years and I feel satisfied doing so.
I didn't need to sell, and it was mainly for the satisfaction of getting back some of my original investment.
Whether you are a trader or an investor, there is a time that you will take some of your profits for some reason and in your case you took profit because of satisfaction and its a good thing.
On my part, I will sell all of my holdings when either it reached the target I previously set or I'm seeing that the market is slowly going down already (this needs a bit of TA though).
However, I also feel like its broken the "HODL AT ALL COSTS" mindset which I felt was getting a bit unhealthy.
I do feel there are risks with Bitcoin, and I won't drag people down with that here, but I will be diversifying that money into gold and shares, mainly tech shares.
I know that Hodling is a good thing in order for you to maximize your profit but on the other side, there are some cons into it.
Remember those people who bought Bitcoin at the peak of 2017. It took them 3 years just to be breakeven. If they just cut their losses instead of just hodling it, they might made more money that they did right now. For me, hodling is good but as an investors always put a selling price and not hodl ALL of your holdings. Take some profit at least but don't sell it all. Save some and that is the one that you need to Hodl.
If Bitcoin dips a lot, I will also buy some more Bitcoin though.
We are waiting for that moment too, the time where Bitcoin will dip so that more people can buy it lower.
