Yes, it's not possible anymore, but I'm sure that many of them do this kind of thing, there are several reasons, one of which is because they panic, and what we see a lot of is from those who are already from the beginning to take advantage in a short time, and they keep doing it. They still get benefits, but in this case there are things they might miss, namely when suddenly bitcoin moves up they will be a little behind.
I prefer those who sell bitcoin because their original intention was only to take advantage of a short rise, rather than those who panic because some people say that bitcoin might touch a price lower than the lowest price bitcoin reached some time ago. I have seen some of them saying that bitcoin will hit 12k or lower, like you said, so they decided to sell their bitcoin because they want to get the lowest price. Not wrong, but if we prepare from the beginning for that possibility, we don't have to sell bitcoin quickly, because of course with careful preparation we will be prepared to buy back bitcoin at the lowest price. Most people like that are not committed to what they planned at the beginning.
Yes, each person has to choose their own path, and the reasons for the sales might NOT always be the same in terms of how much they actually know about bitcoin or how much commitment that they have in regards to bitcoin as a long term investment, so sometimes they will create various entrance and exit strategies (price points), so they might not even be panicking in regards to carrying out their plan.. but they still might not be as informed about bitcoin as they believe that they are...
and I am not even suggesting that any of us really know where the BTC price is going to go, even though at the same time, it seems to me to be better to prepare for considerable upside scenarios, even if we might not believe the BTC price to go there.
very good contribution, In my opinion, identifying a good Bitcoin investor implies considering characteristics such as persistence, self-discipline and a deep knowledge of how Bitcoin works.
These qualities are essential to succeed in this world. Although investing in BTC or cryptocurrency in general is not a fast track to getting rich, it can be profitable with a long-term perspective and well-informed decisions. and above all, recognize the inherent risk and not panic and make a move that harms the investor, due to the high volatility in this type of investment. Therefore, I would recommend investing only the money that you can afford to lose. A good additional piece of advice would be to have a job with a stable income that is not affected by investments, to avoid compromised financial situations.
