Congratulations! The main thing to remember is that by hodling your bitcoins for almost three years, you've made a profit. Some people can only hodl for months, so if you've been hodling for three years, it means you've bought BTC, particularly when it was $5,000. Then it means that you've profited a lot of money and if 5% of your bitcoin satisfies you then I guess it's pretty huge.

I recall my first time selling bitcoin; it was extremely rewarding, and I used the money to purchase a high-end pc to continue my cryptocurrency hobby.

Don't feel bad just because you've sold and didn't HODL at all cost because you've gained from 3years of waiting.  

I'm glad for you, frankly. Hope you earn more coins in the future. I hope the number of people who are rich in cryptocurrencies will increase in the future. I hope one day I'll be rich too.

Congratulations - at least having sold 5% of your Bitcoins, after holding them for 3 years, you made a good profit and felt the fortune you earned thanks to Bitcoin, I am also against the "HODL AT ALL COSTS" rule. We are real people and should make full use of our successful investments, well, at least 5%.

Congrats! Not all holders had patience like you did. Hodling really paid off, riskier but its the most rewarding strategy. It’s never too late for new people in crypto space to hold, 3 years from now they might share same story of success just having patient.

The fact is that you actually earned money by investing! It doesn't matter how much you earned if you are satisfied with it.
Some people hope that the price will go up and hold onto things and at the end, they end up loosing their money so you should be proud of yourself!
Congratz~!!

True that, I too believe we should take some profits after a long while and especially with such investment like Bitcoin and considering from the time of investment, 3 years is a good length of years to have held on to that investment. I believe this would have been some substantial profits and it was well deserved.

It does take a long time to do this, of course not everything is as lucky as you get, by only selling 5% you have got the initial investment capital that you have kept for 3 years.

actually what you say about the risk of bitcoin is inversely proportional to your story of being satisfied that you have recovered your original assets, this clearly provides an indirect explanation that investing in bitcoin is very profitable.
although it is a big risk if you do wrong and are impatient like you.
of course the right thing if bitcoin goes down to buy it and save to wait for the increase again.

You have done the positive thing. If some of the proceeds you have got to transfer to stocks or gold, there is nothing wrong in doing that, because it is just as good.
of course all the decisions are yours who have the capital. but I made it clear that bitcoin is the best no one can deny that.

good for you. this is one of the satisfaction in itself that comes from ourselves. sometimes not listening to other people is important because a lot of suggestions are popping up now that bitcoin has started experiencing a correction over the past few weeks.
try to appreciate your wealth more from now on because I think 95% of the assets you have today are fantastic things in the future.
stay calm and take advantage of the current momentum because bitcoin might shoot at any time.

Definitely but OP could've got a little higher on the percentage of bitcoin that OP has sold but that's just my opinion. If OP still has the spare money to spend some bitcoin, I think that OP might want to buy some and increase the bitcoin that s/he is hodling because now that the prices are wavering to low points, it might be a big bounce.

Many people will say that you sold a bit too early but don't listen to them. If you are happy selling some of your bitcoin then its good for you. Also if it is first time you sold the bitcoin, you would have experience a much faster experience as compare to the fiat transactions.
