Guys do have to figure out these kinds of matters for themselves, and I can see why someone who had been building up his bitcoin investment for 4-10 years or longer may feel like he wants to take some profits, and he might even get excited and sell too much too soon, such as selling 25% to 50% of his stash or more, but then if he really reflects on the power of bitcoin, he likely should be able to figure out some sustainable withdrawal systems that are either price based or time based that will end up resulting in his being able to continue to withdraw bitcoin yet to also be able to allow his bitcoin to continue to grow in terms of its dollar value (so he ends up largely sustaining most of his BTC stash, but still withdrawing from it on a fairly regular basis).
Sir JJG I think you are right but the truth is everyone has there plan and reason why they are investing, there are investors who are investing and holding for long term under duress and so whenever these investors get to a point they feel it is ok and they have hold for 4-10 years they won't care anymore, they will be selling anyhow they like because they were holding it under duress but someone who didn't hold under duress will never sell 25%-50% of their investment because they understand and know the asset they are holding, then again investing under duress is not a good idea or strategy because one will consume everything in a short period of time after holding.
Part of the reason we are having the discussions in this thread is to guide people properly so they employ the best practices in their Bitcoin accumulation. We are not here to flex ego or argue personal rights and freedom, it is your money and you absolutely have right to use it as you please but for those who care to share in the experience of others to learn and do well for themselves in their Bitcoin investment. If you have followed the discussion so far, you will appreciate what level of information that have been shared here, perhaps you would have known that an investor can actually avoid being under duress when it comes to Bitcoin investment.
This is simply done by investing strictly with discretionary income and also making reservations in the form of emergency funds to cover for times that can be regarded as emergencies. This thread have also made us learn that you can start your Bitcoin investment very small like $10 per week and do this continuously via the DCA method until you have made improvements then you can up your game and grow.
Pay attention to the lessons here and you will not have any reason to invest under duress neither will you find yourself in a situation whereby you need to sell under pressure. Those are not the attributes of a good investor who followed the right principles in his investment.
