Actively discouraging the selling of Bitcoin is part of the WO community culture. That is how I see it.
Nobody is really going to care about if you sell part of your Bitcoin but we encourage each other to continue hodling because we are convinced of the continued rise in Bitcoin's value over time.
That is fair enough. I think that there are a considerable number of us who get to a point of sufficient accumulation or overacccumulation, then it seems that managing that status would involve some selling at various points along the way, yet without necessarily selling large parts of our stash, since we likely did not get into bitcoin merely to get back into various fiat related asset classes, yet if a longer term hodler might shave off 10% of his stash at some point to consume hookers, lambos, blow, and perhaps a yacht and a house on the Hamptons, then I cannot really see any problems with that... and surely many of us are more accepting of selling on the price rises and not selling on the dips, even if buying on the dips may or may not be taking place. Yet, still when we reach a sufficient status of accumulation and/or overaccumulation then it may not even really matter if such a longer term hodler shaves off some corn, even on the dips, since even on 60, 70 or 80% dips the profits still might be 20x, 50x or even higher, so even if it might well not be very good cashflow management and planning to be having to sell some portion of corn on such major dips, the longer term hodler is still in a decently good position to do whatever he wants, and even if he shaves off a bit of corn on a 70 or 80% dip, it is likely not even going to end up being any kind of major quantity of his holdings.
Even I am less new than some of the guys, yet during our dip in 2018-ish, the lowest point of the dip, I was still at 3.5x to 4x profits, and at the lowest point of the 2022 dip I was still 16x to 20x in profits, so perhaps any of our next major dips in 2026, 2027 -ish.. I may well still be in 80x or greater profits during those dips.. perhaps? We cannot really know, but there seems to be a certain level of liberty with higher levels of profits, even though there still may be some preferences to be selling on the way up rather than selling on the way down, that is in the event that we are going to need to sell or anticipate that we might need to sell at some point in the cycle.. and surely, it can feel a bit difficult to plan to sell some in advance, such as shaving off a few percent just to not have to worry, yet if we might sell too much at these lower BTC prices (shall I suggest sub $100k), then we might not end up selling any or hardly any if BTC prices are in the supra $150ks or even supra $250ks.., so maybe we might still be wanting to attempt to talk through our own dilemmas and/or to help guys to figure out for themselves how they might consider their own BTC portfolio management dilemmas... while at the same time, each guy has to consider his own balances, and some guys end up making mistakes along the way.. including I have surely made mistakes here and there along the way, yet at the same time, I am similar to several others of the ones here who are mostly erroring in on the side of accumulating and holding the cornz and just shaving some coins off at various points along the way, which truly seems to be quite an empowering position to be in.. regarding options and/or increasing options that bitcoin holding has tended to bring... including that the coin holders seem to be ongoingly benefiting from the ongoing wealth transfer that continues to take place right in front of us - while good to experience being on the receiving side of such ongoing and perhaps seemingly somewhat subliminal
(while at the same time concrete) wealth transfer.
