    Actually, you should buy what you really need, but if you don't need it, then don't buy it. A few days ago I bought a phone. I really needed the phone, so I sold my saved Bitcoin and bought a mobile phone, but it wasn't very expensive, only $215, I couldn't move forward without the phone. I had to stop all my work, and so I was forced to sell Bitcoin to meet my needs. That's why I want to say that when you really need something, you should buy it, but I won't say anything without reason because investing in Bitcoin without buying anything unnecessary will definitely be profitable.
    It’s true that real life needs come first and should be prioritized when the need be, but I’ll still say that you fell short in the aspect of preparation and that’s why you had to sell from your stash to purchase that phone. I believe with better planning, you wouldn’t have needed to sell your bitcoin in the first place at all unless you have reached your accumulation target already.
    Now To prevent something like this from happening again in the future ,it would be wise to separate emergency funds/essential funds from investment funds and also try to avoid over-allocating funds into bitcoin without keeping enough liquid cash. that way you can be able to handle unexpected expenses without disrupting your long term investment position.

    This is the common mistake some investors make in their accumulation process, they have been told to only use their discretionary income to accumulate Bitcoin and before this discretionary income is been gotten one ought to have settle his or her expenses and then the leftovers are for Bitcoin investment and from the leftovers we also figure out  emergency funds that will help secure our investment when there's challenge and I think if this dude would have save or have emergency funds, he would not touch his investment because phone is also a need that expense money should catter for or better still use emergency funds.
