Just sold 5% of my Bitcoin that I've been holding for 3 years and I feel satisfied doing so.
I didn't need to sell, and it was mainly for the satisfaction of getting back some of my original investment.
However, I also feel like its broken the "HODL AT ALL COSTS" mindset which I felt was getting a bit unhealthy.
I do feel there are risks with Bitcoin, and I won't drag people down with that here, but I will be diversifying that money into gold and shares, mainly tech shares.
If Bitcoin dips a lot, I will also buy some more Bitcoin though.
Basically, I'm glad I sold some if only to stop feeling like a slave to it (and to test the Coinbase selling functionality which only took seconds for the transaction).
I mean in an investor's mindset you cant really just hold bitcoin forever at some point we are always looking for profit, and investors are going to sell and make a profit if the profit was too high.
When the market price was too high in the market there is going to be a dump after that, especially if the pump was a big pump it is also going to be a big dump because investors know how the market work so at some point, they are going to sell and take profit at the high market price.
3years of holding is already a huge profit for now, and it doesn't really matter because you could always buy back bitcoin in the deep, we know how volatile the market is.
