I have done the same thing selling my Bitcoin in the past, but I guess it wasn't that bad since I still sold it at a profit I used that money for some things that I've wanted, but I guess it is still better if I still have a good investment or if I still holding it that might probably take a long time to profit but it still has a chance for a higher profit. I guess the thing here is we just don't know the limitations of Bitcoin here, we might know that Bitcoin is going to increase its market price in the coming years but how far can it go right? then you're just going to realize that it's better to hold in the end when the market price already skyrockets to something that you don't really expect.

It is surely true that experience is the best teacher, I really learned a lot of things in the past Bullrun, and today, I have already accumulated a fair amount of Bitcoin, I wouldn't sell and to be honest I'm already expecting the market price to drop especially when near the Bitcoin halving there are for sure going to be a lot of up and down that is going to happen.

In the end, the goal of an investment is to earn a profit, there are some investors that don't want to sell their Bitcoin at any market price to the point where there is to point in investing if you not really going to use those funds right. So It wasn't a wrong move to sell at a profit at some point you going to reach a point where you could have a chance to sell your Bitcoin and I could always recommend making a profit if you can since the market is still a cycle so you could always reinvest your money.

Individuals frequently overlook the long-term effects of investment because they are engrossed in the short-term trends and feelings involved. Investing demands perseverance and patience; it's a marathon, not a sprint. A 90% dip can be demoralizing, but persistence can pay off with enormous advantages for those who persevere. You also correctly point out that investing is about more than simply making money—it's also about the knowledge and experience you pick up along every step of the way. That's a really crucial thing to remember, in my opinion, especially for people who are new to investing.

I've also had similar experience as the OP, some years back, I decided to diversify my investment since Bitcoin trend wasn't encouraging, and I've till today regretted that decision.

I can't say it was a wrong move to sell our Bitcoin earlier because what if the price never reached the current price? Let us say it dumps to $1000, I was certain that people are in regret for not selling them as well.

We made a choice to sell or hold and it was not regretting anymore. In fact, we benefited from it as well unless we are selling at panic but I know that the majority are in the profit which means that we are still winning.

The wrong move is that we never invest Bitcoin even though we know it already. It simply means that we are rejecting opportunities.

If you plan to hodl for long term purposes stop watching your investments every single day it might stress you out. Leave it there and relax keep on acquiring more and more Bitcoins use DCA and forget it all and wait for your estimated date like every four years to reap your profits so you are not gonna make any wrong decisions along the way.

This happens to only faithless people I mean those who just have little idea of Bitcoin and sell when prices make some correct and when they see their read portfolio they rush to sell their amount of bitcoin. These kinds of things happen due to fake FOMO on social media.

Well if anyone has sufficient knowledge he will never sell his points rather he/she will accumulate more by considering it a buying opportunity. Because they know the power of Bitcoin and don't fall prey to any FOMO due to their strong Believe in Bitcoin.

I guess I have posted this several times in several threads. My only wrong move was to sell it for a cheap price. I bought Bitcoin before the last bull run and I was holding tight without realizing that the bull run was over now. I didn't understand when I should have existed in the market. I could have some little profit from there.

Later, when Bitcoin was moving sideways, I was still holding with the hope that the bear market wouldn't be there for a long time. Then the lowest price was 15K, but I had to sell my Bitcoin in the 20K range because I needed some urgent cash. That is my only wrong movement with my Bitcoin.

Hmm, What a perfect Youtube Thbmnail OP inserted to get attention for the topic, good job buddy. TBH I'm not used to such large images with no stats (memes are an exception here). At the same time, I wonder if you've chosen an alternative BTCV and I've never even heard about it honestly. At the same time there were many other alternatives if you are not a hard Bitcoiner you could have chosen nay of the alternative to out perform the returns easily.

Anyway, it was up to you, and considering the current market momentum with the 3 years seems like situations are different we are not actively checking-out that the entire market sentiments are highly bullish and that a win-win situation just needs a little patience. Bitcoin is not the best performer at all, Bitcoin is one of the most reliable best performers. If you are willing to take risks then you should definitely look onto the diversifying strategy and it would be great with some popular narratives.

It's actually great if the op sold after BTCV lost just 30% of the price because I see that it went way-way down pretty fast and now has virtually no trading volume and a price of something very close to zero. I've always been suspicious of BTC clones, so I didn't invest in those and often didn't even bother to claim when via airdrop when that option was available on some platforms. But in 2017, I decided to keep hodling when the price was $15k+, mainly because I thought it would continue to rise and because I didn't want to spend a lot on transaction fees. But then the bear market lasted for so long that I ended up selling by coins, just at a much lower price. Sometimes selling at a good price is the right thing to do if you know you'll need to sell at some point in the near future anyway.

In everything, we should learn to first make research before starting, many people have made the mistakes of leaping in before looking, to get out of it becomes a different task entirely, the moment we realized that we are doing the wrong things, that would have taken us someway too far and we cannot avoid to have the negative consequence that may follows, we should seek to learn more than doing more.

I made similar mistakes at the beginning of my crypto journey. I converted my bitcoin into a shitcoin and eventually lost everything. I was too greedy to earn from Alt. I almost lost everything there and became hopeless at that time. So I start building myself again and recover slowly. Though I can't recover through trading, I earn from my marketing services. However, I am very careful when dealing with my crypto. I don't want to repeat my mistakes by investing in altcoins.
