it's been awhile, just wanted to tell you that I still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too!

Some of you may say it's a dumb decision or risky, but I'm all for BTC and positive about it. To the Moon!

Well, I started in 2015 and after the bull run in 2017, I learnt not to be selling all my Bitcoins. This time around what I’m doing is to be selling a part of the coins I have in my wallet and making sure that there is still a part that is left in the wallet always. That way I’m sure that there is an amount that is there in my wallet and always increasing in value over the years as the market continues to gain more and more value. It’s very important to make Bitcoin part of your savings because we already know that the Fiat currency is inflationary and would be losing value; as it loses its value, Bitcoin will continue to be gaining more value.

Now and then bitcoin price hige different. Because 2013-2014 bitcoin price was $400-500$ but now around $37k+.Decentralization will be never stable It's pump and dupms.Bitcoin price already touched $65k+ in 2021.I hope bitcoin price will be more increase in this year.You can hold long time i hope you will be get good profit from it.

It’s never too late for anyone who wants to start the same thing. Although it is going to be very difficult, because our mind would always make use feel that it is too late for us to start the same thing now, but it is quite possible to be done by anyone.

I believe that when the op started this back in 2013, he also had some little doubts and some thoughts about whether it is going to be a right decision, and something in him kept telling him that’s the best decision and it did work out for him. So anyone who has such thoughts should as well go ahead with it.

Not everyone has the money to be able to make sure that they're totally safe from hodling, some people can't do that I think unless they have a job to sustain themselves and not rely on their bitcoin then probably there's a possibility that they might be able to do it. Also, wouldn't it be better to at least convert your bitcoin when it's pushing for ATH and then waiting for it to go down again so as to increase what you're currently hodling?

Whoah, that is some serious dedication that you have OP!

Given the fact that you have not cashed out your BTCs yet, I am assuming that you are somehow financially comfortable with your situation? If I were in your shoes, I would probably cashed out my BTCs when its price reached an ATH on the last quarter of 2017 ($20,000). Since you also do not see the need of converting them to cash, them HODLing them is definitely the way to go.

Generally, I see BTCs as a form of investment and money. The only time that I see the need to cash them out is that if I am in a situation where I need the money for some emergency purpose.

So i am just curious, to what price will you eventually sell your bitcoins? Selling at the previous ATH was already a huge profits for most of us, even if others are not really in need for money, but they always see to it that every time a new ATH achieved, its a good time to sell so we can prepare for the next bear season. For me, that defines a wise investor. Until i heard your story, you are that one of a kind. So keep hodling, but always remember that selling at peaks is also a wise thing to do so you can roll your profits and buy back again.

I'm really amazed if you haven't sold BTC till now. Selling now maybe you've got a lot of profit, but maybe you have a target that you must achieve. Bitcoin ATH will still continue. You are really DIAMOND HAND, able to hold bitcoin from 2013 till now. you have firm belief and are not tempted to sell bitcoins immediately.

Late to the party, as usual, if you haven't sold anything since then, I expect you must already be sitting on a pretty nest egg. Reading all your posts now, so if you do exit in one or two years, you'd have waited an entire decade. Also found it interesting you only looked into alts in 2021 -- glad you missed out on the alt exodus in 2017 huh?

I actually only ever met 2 people who exited, both in 2017, pre ATH. They never came back, to my knowledge, good for them. I don't ever see myself leaving, but if I do, I'll be sure to add another thread here for posterity.

I think when I look at bitcoin it doesn't fit to be said with pump and dump because even though this is indeed talking about fluctuations but on the other hand they can't be manipulated that easily so I don't feel like the phrase pump and dump for bitcoin.

as long as you believe in bitcoin why not, I think by looking in the mirror from last year when bitcoin reached $29k after that it rose to $65k then why this year you don't feel confident with them. 2022 is still early and it's only in its first month. So, there's still plenty of time for bitcoins

Congratulations Op, you're a good example of discipline and indeed a true bitcoiner.
But could it be that you never sold any ? Hopefully you're still buy more of Bitcoin ?
Most bitcoiner's lack patience and self discipline, the little bitcoin they have can be sold, take a good look at the folks in El Salvador, I don't know why I feel those that Invested will panic sell.

I don't think it's stupid that you actually invest in bitcoin not because you want to get high profits from 2003 we year the bitcoin price in that year was very worthless compared to now, and I believe you have a target when you release your bitcoin at a certain price so that until now you haven't let go

In my opinion people who are able to hold Bitcoin in the long term should be appreciated, because it is not easy to do so. Moreover, the volatile Bitcoin
price sometimes makes us panic. It takes a good understanding of the crypto world to be able to make decisions to invest in Bitcoin in the long term,
and very lucky if true OP hasn't sold Bitcoin since 2013. What is certain is that even if it is sold now, the profit is very large, but I am sure that everyone
has a different selling target. So the OP has his own target, which is for sure Bitcoin is very profitable for a long term investment. So for people who are
just starting to invest in Bitcoin, there is still a great opportunity to be able to generate large profits from Bitcoin. Because with limited supply and
increasing demand, it is certain that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. So don't hesitate to collect as much Bitcoin as you can.

Neither he doesnt have target price but rather minding on target year on where he should released those coins or would be converted to fiat since each one of us
does have that kind of target or goal in mind but there are some which would really be situational or does depend on self preference and he do have the full control
or decision on when he would really be making those steps.Its good that since 2013 you havent sold out but considering on how many ATH's had passed
then its not a bad idea on selling out into those points.

There are things that others could do while others can't,
It doesn't work like that there are some who have the privilege to do what they want while others have to work hard for it.
You might have the funds to keep on ignoring BTC even though your funds have sky rocket already others couldn't ignore it due to their needs and financial status.
I know that you're intention is good but I just need to say that not everyone could do it just because someone could .

Depends on how many BTC you have. I personally use BTC for my lifestyle. Traveling around the world and spend some BTC around the world.
But it’s always a good decision to hold BTC.
But what’s the price you will sell some of your BTC? Never ever?

Not want to judge if it is dumb decision but what will i give is my salute. I know it is hard to resist to sell bitcoin, even when price pumped only $600 i already happy and then sell my coins because never expect it will pumped like nowadays. For me $200 to $600 is a big forward and then i sell my coin at cheaper price before big dump.

That might be a dumb decision but I guess, he loves doing it, and he never cares about profit when selling during the ATH. It was his passion to do the holding and only a few people do. I can't do it, for sure, maybe just months of holding but saying years, that was exemptional.
Well, just to have a two thumbs up for OP of doing it. I don't want to question OP what he do in life for that long coz for me, seeing the market and checking the price every day could add temptations.

Let's just say, OP is very tenacious in reaching his goal, and its very rare for most of us not to sell for that long. For me, there's no wrong in selling as long as there is profits every time we sell, but selling in a cheaper price could only mean losses in the end. If i were in your shoes OP, i will sell some of my coins when there is bull run and leave the rest for future profits. So that i can also buy again bitcoin when bearish season comes to add more on my hodlings.

If anyone has said you were stupid about this in your past, then I say you are a millionaire today because of stupidity.
maybe for some people who do invest their money in BTC is simply because the money is not in a used condition at all and the person who makes that decision is because they believe in themselves with all the consequences.
be ignorant to become a millionaire.

Profitable stupidity is the right term in my opinion Grin

,those who initially thought the OP was stupid but now have to regret not following what the OP did, like people who underestimated the OP, it seems we also have to regret it for not having the courage and stupidity to hold bitcoin all this time Cry

.
In my opinion, must us here have known bitcoin since the beginning of knowing this forum, but maybe only a few people have done like the OP has done so far, we have continued to discuss the bright future of bitcoin long ago, but otherwise we don't have the guts to hold bitcoins long enough, and if if everyone who has been on the forum for a long time did what the OP did i.e. held bitcoins from 2013 or even longer, I believe we all on this forum would have become millionaires right now Cheesy
