I love waking up to a new ATH, these super pump years every four years gives me such a rush.
Too bad the coming year, with it's year long dump, will do the opposite, or will it?
I will try to sell the top-ish and park the money in stocks for the coming bear year, let's see if that can't give some kind of similar feeling, at least it will hopefully lessen the "down" feeling (if I pick the right stocks).
I'm thinking something stable and somewhat boring, like Ericson.

Don't worry, it's only for a year, then I'll be all in on bitcoin again, just parking my money to save it from the bear year.

That sounds like a terrible idea, to be honest. Firstly, with the amount of institutional capital flowing into btc recently, there's a significant possibility that its four year bear/bull market cycle could have been broken. All signs (other than looking backwards to historic patterns which in no way predict future patterns) point towards BTC making increasing gains - CBs printing fiat for fun and the associated incoming inflation; unsustainable stocks prices; major corporations holding btc on their balance sheets; governments probably doing the same; etc etc. The list goes on and these developments mean that btc is inhabiting a totally different place to where it was four years ago. It wouldn't be surprising to never see a btc bear market again - 80% dips could be a thing of the past, never to be seen again.

Also, trying to time the top is pretty much impossible and will only happen with a huge chunk of luck.

I wouldn't advise anyone to swap btc for stocks anytime, ever.

Nah, that's what people said alredy back in 2017 (including me) and we were all wrong, I have learned that "this time is different" doesn't exist.

About selling the top, You have to factor in that I bought around the 200-400 dollar range and selling at say 100k would give me a huge profit even if it then goes on to 200k.
My actual strategy is to sell chunks at preset numbers, starting with one fourth at 100k.
