gonna sell some corn soon for reasons. expect the price to rise as a result.

I know when WO sell their corns then they are in bad need. I really hope everything is fine for you and you get some good value from the corns you will sell.

thank your for your thoughts. but im just buying new toys.

when i need a set amount by a particular time i try to dollar cost my way out. so in a month i would set up (say) four periods of sells on en exchange, one for each week. if at weeks end they didnt sell all or any at that weeks prices, ill sell the 25% anyway, then set up the next weeks sell. then 2 more weekly sells to finish the month and get my needed amount.

naturally i will just pull on the spot whatevers needed in an emergency.

This kind of cashing out from time to time practice seems similar to what Jimbo does - even though of course, each HODLer is going to have slightly different methodologies to just live his/her life in a way that does not preoccupy himself/herself, but still attempts to manage liquidation in a way that is prudent, reasonable and either tries to maximize incremental cash out given that such cash out is also within a timeline that has been authorized by the HODLer....

My thinking is that it surely helps quite a bit for the HODLer to have at least one exponential BTC price rise period in his/her rear view mirror - and even better if the HODLer has more than one exponential period in his/her rear view mirror, which seems to be the situation for both you and Jimbo..

Of course, there are a decent number of other HODLers who are in a similar situation to you and Jimbo.. and since bitcoin is a bit past 11.5 years of life, and maybe 10 years of having a "kind of" market price, there have been a quite a few opportunities for earlier people to get into bitcoin and HODL through (while they are getting older too)...

For me, I only have one exponential BTC price rise period in my bitcoin HODLing history, so even though, based on my own investment situation, I kind of feel as if I could engage in similar kinds of practices as you do, I imagine that I am going to feel even more comfortable after another BTC exponential period.. presuming that another BTC exponential period comes in the coming few years... if NOT, I will be just cashing out, anyhow, from time to time as needed (or if needed - I seem to have plenty of cash and cashflow, so no real rush in any kind of incremental BTC cashening out, at the moment), so long as the BTC price is over $5k (at least that is my theoretical bottom price at the moment - including considering the passage of time and how money could potentially be needed at various points down the road.. .even a few years from now, or whatever).

I like reading some of these kinds of real world explanations and the various ways that guys (or gal) might consider weighing their management/balancing of their BTC holdings as compared with other assets that they might have, including real world funzie desires... (don't spend too much on lambos, hookers and blow!!!!!... hahahahaha).. and surely sometimes, personal details might not be known (and surely we do not need to share all of those kinds of personal details, whether OPSec concerns or just some needs NOT to get into too many personal matters)
