OP, Let me ask you a question.
If you are holding 1 bitcoin or less in your wallet, which you never planned to sell out any time soon, your family is doing well, and there has never been any need for you to need extra cash.

If you wake up one morning and your child is in a critical condition that requires immediate medical attention, you rush her to the hospital, the doctor confirms that she's going to need to undergo some surgery in the next couple of minutes, and you don't have such an amount of money demanded right on your bank account or in cash, but you have some Bitcoin stock somewhere, what will you do? Do you really need to think about what to do? The more time you are spending thinking about whether or not to sell the Bitcoin and save your daughter's life, the more you are endangering the life of that innocent girl. (just an illustration).

Situations like that don't even require a second thought; sell off and solve the problem. That's the most important part of saving: for our savings to save us in the future in times of need. If you keep on calculating whether or not you are to stake your savings over saving the girl's life, you might end up regretting your actions for the rest of your life.
Your question is just so unreasonable. The answer is yes, sell and save the kidnap victim. You can save up with time.

Well, you're right your child can not be in the hospital and you hold your investment still. Why I throw this question out here is because people have being begging this man to sells anything he has and pay the ransom for the sister but he keep delaying. I met him myself, explain to him that life is more precious than any savings why not do all you can to save your sister life, if it means selling your coins but putting strong feelings for bitcoin, that the money he has is on bitcoin and he never plan of selling it since the price is against is original purchased price. And to him even if he sells bitcoin the ransom money will not complete. This why I was thinking I can get more response that can help the situation. Thanks
