Just that i’m not bothered with the small dollar movements and that i surely keep on my hodling and buy tracks like how been doing iT all the way.... but somethimes When i react @ small pumps and dumps its like non-events and i Just wanna say cheers When Where in the green and complain When pricess drops its a little bit .... offcourse i would like iT more that we would have reached the bottom by now but if its not than Yeah Nothing to change about iT
I Will keep my hodling for a very long time and i’m not intending of ever selling more than 50% of my coins i guess
O.k. I was starting to feel like we weren't really getting anywhere in our discussion, but I can recognize and appreciate that there are some HODLers who are really strictly into the practice of HODLing and they have plans about ONLY certain price points in which they are going to sell.
So, yeah... I can appreciate the inclination to mostly just HODL.. and perhaps just shave a bit of BTC off here and there in order to take profits and to live etc.
Another point can be that theory and practice can play out a bit differently because when the price moves and you attempt to put the theory into practice, you may end up changing your plan. In that regard, during the 2015 period in which BTC prices were floating around in the $200s for a large majority of the year, I had devised a theory in which I had projected my BTC sales up through $20k and more which included my selling 30% or 40% of my BTC stash as the BTC price went UP to those levels; however, as the BTC prices actually went up to those $20k levels, I realized that there was no fucking way that I was going to sell as much BTC as I had originally theorized, and I also realized that merely selling in the 10% to 15% territory had generated way more cash than I actually could figure out how to use.. and that surely that generated cash would be good to have on the side to be able to buy back BTC, and I also realized that even if BTC prices go up to $100k or $1million or whatever, I am still going to be able to live rich as fuck and I don't really have to cash out large portions of my BTC in order to live way beyond what I have already been accustomed to....
So, my point remains that the actual going UP of the prices to $20k gave me a kind of test run about how I am going to treat BTC price uprises, and similar to you, I don't feel any kind of driving need to cash out large quantities of BTC in order to vastly improve my lifestyle .. and really my lifestyle has already improved a lot merely from the nearly 80x price appreciation that we already had, even though the price appreciation had also fallen to just above 20x.. that would be $5,700/$250 = 22.5x.. and none of us should really be complaining about 22.5x price appreciation in around 3 years, right?
In essence, I am agreeing with you that we don't need to cash out large quantities of our BTC and still be able to live like kings or somewhere close to such status, relatively speaking.
