I understand selling in a short while seem to be more of like getting quick profits but the case is different here. I want to sell a little sats here for investing in things that will help me earn more over time. More like a side hustle.
the pragmatic approach you are trying to take now seems logical to you but it's not because once you temper with your holdings, you will be tempted more often to temper with it once you have a financial difficulties, so in my own opinion, it's a wrong idea. Your should be doing that from you monthly or weekly income not from your Bitcoin holdings.
I don’t see it as losing sats. I see it as repositioning them. Sometimes you need to let go of a few now to control a lot more later. It feels more sensible to invest for long term not for short term. More reasons i am doing this is because i don't trust my job to last longer where i am working.
You should be doing this, I mean executing this your idea with your back up fund's not your holdings, it's not even adviceable to do it with your emergency funds, because you will be putting your holdings at risk of being tempered with if any serious emergency arise during that period, so I would advice that you look for a more better job, or use your backup fund to go along with your plan if you have one in the first place.
