That is a solid long term perspective. Selling should definitely be tied to your personal strategy, not just price milestones...... Seven figures might sound tempting, but without a clear exit plan, it is  easy to fumble the opportunity. I like the idea of taking small profits while reinvesting to stay in the game also a  smart way to balance growth and security....
Taking small profit when you have not gotten to that over accumulation stage yet is actually not proper, that is the idea of a trader, a real supporter of Bitcoin is only interested in taking profit from his investment when he has gotten to the end of his accumulation stage, which is the over accumulation stage.
Selling part of your Bitcoin with the intention of reinvesting it later is pointless honestly, you can afford to do that when you have gotten to that over accumulation status, not when you are still far behind or no where near your over accumulation status.
I get your point, but not everyones journey or financial situation is the same. Some people take partial profits to manage risk, especially during uncertain times. ......It doesn’t always mean they are not long term believers, sometimes it’s just about staying in the game and avoiding emotional or financial pressure....

If your strategy is to invest and take profits sometimes nobody can stop you afterall it's your money and you have complete autonomy over it. But Bitcoin investment needs special dedication, it's best to accumulate it for over a long period of time atleast two bull circles or more. Talking profits when it's not fully matured can cause distractions if you're in a DCA method, it's better to keep accumulating until you reach your desired goal.

Nothing stops you from holding till your retirement from active work, that for me is the best time to start taking profit. If you're earning enough to take care of your basic expenses and your discretionary funds can cater for your planned expenses I don't see the reason to touch your Bitcoin stash. Bitcoin is my last resort to take money for enjoyment or life issues, as a Bitcoin investor you should have emergency funds and secondary needs funds inside your discretionary account. You can adjust your discretionary funds to make more provisions for enjoyment instead of touching your Bitcoin stash prematurely.
That's a solid approach for someone who is fully committed long term, and I respect that. But at the same time, not everyone has the same financial cushion or flexibility. Some people need to balance growth with safety..... Taking a bit of profit during key moments is not  necessarily weakness, it is  strategy. What matters most is staying in the game and not getting shaken out entirely. For some, small profit taking is what keeps them sane and committed for the long haul......
