Sell when the price is high, buy when the price is low. Investors should take time to buy and sell. However, since the current market condition is obviously bearish, then the best move is to buy consistently through DCA, or buy when the price is in dips to maximize the purchasing power and accumulate significant amount of bitcoin.

In the future when the market turns bullish and bitcoin price reaches another all time high, it would be the best time to sell, not just to enjoy the profits, but also to buy back a good amount of bitcoin when the market turns bearish again.

Only someone that's short sighted would know that getting profits from bitcoin is guaranteed and would still end up selling during the bear market phase all because of anxiety or uncertainty. The main reason why investors keep holding Bitcoin Inspite of the ups and downs is because a lot of people believe in the potentials of Bitcoin.

Volatility is a constant dynamic in the crypto market, the DCA strategy is there for us to make use of to buy Bitcoin when the price is low and sell when it has increased but it's all a Matter of how disciplined and patient you can be because that's what the market rewards.

Panicking during the dip is unnecessary and as investors that continue to react to the market that way there's no point in continuing your investment in Bitcoin because your emotions are not stable.

In every investment, there's always risk involved even if we say, you think you already have guaranteed profit. Because you have angles that you can't control and have the upper hand in terms of its direction. That is why, you need to have conservative estimates so you can plan contingencies with your assets.

As there's no guarantee in this market, what you can do is think of alternative plans that give you positive profit even if we say not the profit that you are expecting in this market.

We all have in mind what BitMaxz said about cycles and halving, and I'm the first one who trusts that the cycle will repeat itself and we're in a phase of accumulation. But we have to be realistic and, as you say, assume that the past might not necessarily repeat itself and, consequently, take measured risks.

Anyone who has been wanting to invest or sell for a while should have already done so, so I agree that, unless for some unforeseeable reason they are forced to sell, whoever sells now does not seem to have planned their exit strategy too well.

It is indeed very important to understand that you should still try to build a better position, at the end of the day everybody wants a significant result and just investing will not give you such but investing consistently you make you build a good position. I personally invest every week as well with the use of DCA is strategy.

Meanwhile you don't have to think that way towards bitcoin investment, it is not guaranteed and if you set your mind to be that way (guaranteed) anything that happens will hurt you so bad because of to way you have set your mindset
But if you are open for anything for better for worst and you still invest any ways that is what is right to do

This fact is easy to say, but difficult to do consistently, for those who are able to mean good to maintain the position of the original plan to the long term.
We are always constrained from uncertain sources of funds, every month the salary received sometimes there are urgent needs that are spent or cannot be spent on bitcoin, as long as you don't despair whenever you buy it next time with a good chance it's still a good plan as long as you don't sell the btc you have at low prices.

Profit is never a guarantee while investing in bitcoin, which is why if you’re starting your investment you should prioritize more of long term investments, there are people who have been buying and accumulating bitcoin for a long term now, they’ve not had a good reasonable amount of profits, instead they are more interested in buying and accumulating bitcoin regularly, if you have gotten to a certain level of accumulation stages and you feel satisfied and you have gotten to over accumulation stages, you can decide to take some part of your profits that doesn’t mean that you’re taking all your Capital.

Not everyone is a long term holder, some are shorting Bitcoin, especially experienced traders. We can't just assume that everyone who sells are weak hands.
So, the point of selling early is the same as long term holder. The only difference is that traders are actively taking profit while avoiding losses, and holders prefer a sedentary strategy.

And it's also a threat for some traders, due to low liquidity as more people move towards safer assets.

I think there's nothing wrong with selling as long as you are profiting. This kind of strategy is challenging, that's why more people prefer DCA and long term holding, then develop misconceptions that selling is wrong.

It actually requires psychology, calculations, and patient to manage panic during market dips. So motivating yourself on the longterm benefits may actually help save you from selling even when the panic gets worse.

But then, I’ll not come to a conclusion that selling out when the market is crashing makes one lack the whole potentials of a real investor.
I believe that everyone has a limit to their risk tolerance and sometimes the plans may be genuine, I mean one may really need the liquidity for another life investment outside crypto. That one reason I’ll never judge them.
But then it is a necessity to always have a cash for normal day to day activities and also for emergencies. This is what helps many hold through during the market dip because they can always survive without falling back to their savings.

I don’t think there is anything like guaranteed profits. I’ll just take it as an assumption. So prioritizing personal risk is actually a pillar that can help one pull through. Actually The biggest flex is  having enough to an extent where you can comfortably leave your investment untouched for long.
