If you have had such experience, how was it like?
It can't be helped because necessity drives us to take anything that can have a sale value. It's not just Bitcoin that is a valuable item and when it's urgent to have money right away it will definitely be done. What you experienced, must have happened to anyone who has no other financial flow besides holding Bitcoin. I did the same because there really was no other way but to sell some of my Bitcoin holdings. But with the condition that if in the future I have more money then whatever Bitcoin has been taken will be patched back.
Most times it is not necessary you must wait for your financial flows though. If you checked I stated it clear that I was expecting a payment which was supposed to have been credited but was still pending I could not wait for it to be credited as the pressure was high to making sure that issues was sorted out immediately. So I did the needful by selling my bitcoin and I did replaced it when I was credited with my other payment I was expecting. Sometimes there are lots of inflow from different sources but you just can not tell the situation you might be in some cases that requires you to respond speedily when your other investment are not in for the response. Not only that, how about the processes or procedures involved to getting funds from other sources of your income, can they be able to respond in time like that of you selling your digital assets with ease, without any procedures involved to getting the money you needed urgently to sort things out.
