Being thinking of selling off a landed property that's being dieing over the years and use the funds for investing but am still to see bear market before I make that move too.
That move of selling off a landed property to raise funds and invest in Bitcoin I think should've been made last month that Bitcoin recorded the lowest dip of the year when the price dropped to as low as $74k since you wanted to take such bold decision when the market is bearish. I don't think we're going to experience such dip again this year and even next year because the bullish run is almost upon and it's already been highly speculated that the price of Bitcoin will significantly increase when the surge hits the market.

It is never a good idea to sell land to buy or save Bitcoin, whether it is during a recession or at any time. Because the Bitcoin market is very volatile, there are ups and downs in the market. If a new person invests with the money he sold his land, he may get very scared if he sees a slight decline in the market and may even sell his holdings. Always try to invest with the amount of money you can afford to lose.

I don't see it as a bad idea for someone to sell their land and invest the money in Bitcoin if they have a tangible reason for doing so. For instance, if someone owns land that is not in a developed area, they can sell it and invest the money in Bitcoin, provided they are willing to hold onto the Bitcoin for a long period of time, say, at least 4 to 10 years.In fact, I know someone who sold their land before and invested in Bitcoin. That person is now making significant profits. If they were to sell their Bitcoin today, they would have made three times the money they got from selling the land. Even though the land has appreciated in value, it hasn't grown threefold within the few years since it was sold and the money was invested in Bitcoin.

What I want people to understand is this: as long as someone does not intend to add value to their property and believes that selling it and investing in something else like Bitcoinwill yield more profit with less risk, then it's not a bad decision. However, this should be based on the individual's specific reasons and circumstances. While selling land to invest in Bitcoin can be a smart move, I would not strongly encourage it unless the person has carefully thought it through.

I do not agree with your comment. Because selling land for investment is never the right method. Bitcoin has a lot of risk and you can lose all your money. You think that the value of the land is very low so you can sell it and invest, but as time goes by the value of the land will increase. The value of Bitcoin will increase but there is a lot of risk. In the first situation, he may become very scared. For example, when he invests with the money he sells land, he will see a small fall in the market and he may become very scared and sell his investment. So try to invest with your discretionary income, the amount of money you can lose.
It is not right to sell any valuable asset or property to invest in Bitcoin. You can make this decision based on the volatile market of Bitcoin. But do you have any abandoned property that has the same value ten years from now as it was ten years ago? You should definitely invest such property in Bitcoin because there is a huge difference between Bitcoin ten years ago and Bitcoin today. Suppose ten years ago your land was worth $5000 and now the land is worth $6000. Again, suppose ten years ago the price of Bitcoin was $1000 but after ten years the price has increased to $104000. Considering this aspect, if you have valuable assets other than land, invest in Bitcoin. We know that Bitcoin is volatile but do not be afraid of this volatility and invest regularly because the more the risk, the more profit you have. All those who have become rich in this world have taken risk through hard work and work.

In my opinion, I don't see this volatile Bitcoin market as a problem in any way, because it's natural that things that are valued more will be discussed and criticized more. I'm not thinking about Bitcoin today, I'm thinking about Bitcoin in ten years and investing regularly in the hope of acquiring a big whale.
