Sure. Figuring out some kind of a reasonable way to sell some BTC on the way up while still mostly HODLing would not be a bad idea if it could be put into practice, including that it is true that many folks end up selling too much of their BTC too soon, yet even a person with a thousand bitcoin in mid 2011, might still be able to shave off 10% of his stash per year and still be quite wealthy today, and still having 228.7679245 BTC after selling in 2025.

Good explanation sir.
But if they cash it out every year of course it is a bad choice if they don't really need the money urgently.
Maybe that's just an example but yes it can be understood if holding since 2011 of course he bought at a fairly cheap price. I did a Google search that the price of Bitcoin in December 2011 was only around $4.25.
Maybe what I can take from here is a theory of a true holder who has been able to survive long enough from all the negative news and he managed to do it by holding btc until the btc price exceeded $100k.
I remember, investors of that type are those who understand the progress of the era, meaning they know btc from the beginning and continue to buy it regularly, of course that is a guideline that we can follow to continue accumulating bitcoin.
