I have been investing in a bunch of different coins for a while now, mainly BTC, ETH, LTC, and some other lesser-known coins. I have a lot of different coins in my portfolio to stabilize/reduce risk.
I love the gains that these coins provide. I never panic-sell, and always hodl and buy low. That has been my simple strategy.
However, I have a problem - how do I train myself to know when to cash out?
For instance, last night the BTC price was high (18K), and ETH/LTC price were low.
I could have cashed out then, and invested in ETH/LTC, which are seeing a nice pump now.
How do you know when to cash out??
Right now the only time I cash out is when I need to money to buy a gift or something.
Well, believe me, there's no such methods to get a certain prediction. At that time when Bitcoin was in 18K, you didn't know whether Bitcoin will fall/retrace or keep pushing up to above $20,000. Right? If your simple strategy is already making you money, keep doing it. Don't be greedy and telling yourself "If I ... I could have ... ". It's a useless thought that will only waste your energy. Your strategy is already good IMO. Buy everything that seems too low or underpriced. The ETH dump to 0.022 was quite crazy though so I managed to buy some, but still I didn't catch that LTC train.
Never go all out from Bitcoin. That's the most profitable advice
Just like you, I personally never sold Bitcoin more than I need to. Even though I'm a lot richer than I used to be, my lifestyle didn't change a lot. Try to hold as many as you can, the future of Bitcoin will be so exciting.
