It is all about when the investor needs the money to buy house or land or car or Gold and Silver etc.... or when the profit is 400% or 700% that is advisable to sell and book the profits because 400% profit is very good.
I sold all my crypto a few weeks back and put the lot into gold.Seems I made the right call.Hodl forever is bullshit, sometimes you need to take a step back and know when to take profit and stabilise your gains.
Yeah! We can't say that we will hold our coins forever because there are always unnecessary events that will happen to our lives. A long term holder must have financial stability otherwise you will spend your money in emergency scenario. The problem with small investors like me is that, we cannot easily reach our main goal when we are investing a coin that we want but then, I tried our best to hold it.
