To be honest, I don't really own bitcoins because I do not HODL. I always see myself selling my coins due to one issue or another, possibly because I really cannot afford to live my dream of holing until Bitcoin makes me rich.
In practice, I barely earn more than $3000 from my job, my wife's mortgage, and other demands waiting to snap up the money. Sometimes I sell in a bull market, and other times I sell in a bear market. Would you say that holding BTC isn't for everyone? Am I not too broke to depend on Bitcoin for financial freedom? Yeah, I'm working for my financial independence, but Bitcoin has remained a peripheral component of that plan. Only if I can HODL for a few years.
Do you comfortably HODL? 300% is quite a lot. 1000% for me is a dream.
If you are selling your coins for genuine reasons then you are doing good. If you are investing in bitcoin and still paying all the bills then you are doing good.
But if you are spending lavishly or have a luxurious lifestyle and still complaining about not being able to HODL bitcoin then you are doing something wrong.
If you are earning $3000 from your job then you must learn money management to track your money spend it wisely.
