Time matters.
If you are 68 holding for ten years is not appealing,

If you are 38 hodl for 10 years is pretty much a must.
Under 38 hodl longer.

the gray areas are 38 to 68.

To be very honest, I never actually considered that there are people in BitcoinTalk who might actually be 60 years old or older. I have always made the, obviously wrong, presumption that we, or most of us, are under 40 years old. 👀

Pardon me sers, if I offended the people who are actually older than 60 and have posted their viewpoints about selling their Bitcoin. I have always preached HODL, but for our older community members, they should probably enjoy the gains of their time of HODL. You deserve it. 👍

Well, now you know! Most of the OG's are above 40 years old. Likely around the age of 50 - 65 years old.

Oh gawd.. now you are presuming in the opposite direction.

Sure maybe if someone got into bitcoin in the timeframe of 2011 to 2015-ish then might we might consider them an OG.. or can we have some 2016 to 2018 entrants as OGs, too?

Anyhow, maybe we can presume that a 2011 to 2015-ish entrant into bitcoin might have been older than 10 years old at the time and younger than 80 years old at the time.. perhaps? perhaps?.. yet where does that get you? We have 10-14 years that have passed since the earlier entrant guys got into bitcoin.. .. that does not mean shit about them being older than 40 as you presume, even if 10-14 years had passed since these guys first got into bitcoin..

They were the people who had earlier adopted Bitcoin and invested in it. I think most of them contributed some amount of Bitcoin to the community when it merely cost $1.

How can you presume those matters?

Have you seen this thread before; Legendary profiles of bitcointalk.?

Your assumptions make a lot of sense. If we really judge based on how old Bitcoin is. Roughly Bitcoin is 17 years old, added with an early adopted here in the forum which i at that time might be 30 years of age or less. That would be 50+ almost 60.
See how time flies

You really believe that thread supports your age-theory about folks you are considering as OGs? You might even be presuming pre-2012 folks as OGs? or maybe you have to define what you mean, and even point out which portions of that link thread supports your age-theory? And furthermore, maybe the data in that thread needs to be updated in order to discuss your age-theory to the extent that there might be any validity in your seeming assumptions about age.. except that time has been passing, and bitcoin is getting older so anyone in bitcoin is also getting older to the extent that they have not passed away in the meantime..

[edited out]

If they're alive till now don't you think that it would still be better for them to keep hodli instead of selling as you said. Why is it that when we see an old investor who bought bitcoin very cheap, what comes to our mind is if he sells today, he will be fine. I feel selling shouldn't be the main focus but to recommend them for hodling this long and emulate their footsteps, because it shows that you can also hodli for a very long time like these OGs did.

I want to emulate them in hodli for a very long time and building my bitcoin investment, so that I can see at what level my bitcoin portfolio wil have gotten to when I am old and how much bitcoin will be by then.

Of course, the longer a person has been in bitcoin and the more bitcoin they have accumulated, then the more options that they have, and surely it seems a bit dumb (and perhaps presumptuous) to consider that selling most or all coins would be a good way to manage coins that are currently held, yet at the same time, bitcoin has been such a great investment that selling very small amounts of BTC has the potential of generating large quantities of cash that is way beyond the costs of the coins, so the BTC price may not really be a factor whether a longer term bitcoiner might choose to sell a few coins (or satoshis) here and there just for whatever reason.. since it could well be that the value of his BTC stash grows way faster than his spending of it.. so selling of coins may or may not be any kind of a BIG concern for someone who has way more than enough... and another thing may well be that he sells other assets prior to selling BTC, yet there can be quite a variety of arrangements that longer term bitcoiner might have in regards to dealing with (managing his coins)... and surely hopefully, as you seemed to have had suggested, largely trying to safeguard the bulk of them.
