So, my question is pretty simple. Is the recommendation to HODL Bitcoin, to hodl forever, or until the owner really, really needs (or really wants) currency for something important - with the intent to only sell a fraction of the BTC he has and continue hodling the remaining?
We're free to sell anytime we want to. It's just that everyone encourages to hold for as long as you can because the price of Bitcoin is continuing to grow. And so, if you have decided to sell a fraction of it, that's fine. You didn't do any offense to anybody or to the community. Others have surely sold somehow because they can't just let this opportunity pass while we're on the peak.
Just how do you define your hodling recommendation? Is it really forever or does it have any exceptions?
It can be part of your retirement fund but at least you've got to enjoy the labor of your patience in holdings.
