I have been with bitcoin for almost 11 years right now.
sell some now and cover wedding expenses
i am still torn.

responsibility of starting a new life

Which doesn't necessarily imply splurging half your stash on the ceremony just because you must.
It's somewhat hard to think with our own head or gut. Social pressure exists.

No need to answer the following questions if not to yourself.

--"Police" questions.
1. 11 years all with the same gal?

2. How old are you?

3. Does she know about the bitcoin?

--"Shrink" question
4. Pick either A, B, or neither. Not both.
A) Do you feel like you owe it to her, or possibly to someone else - e.g., your parents?
B) Do you feel in your gut it's what you want?

For me, responsibility is not just a word. It is an unbendable trust and a sense of duty for me. From childhood, my parents raised me with love,care and sacrifice. Never backing down no matter how was hard my life . The person i am today is because of their care and dedication. I believe that where their responsibility end mine truly begins. My father is now in 60year old. i will turn 31 on February 14th 2026. I have a sister whose marriage my parents have already arranged. They have fulfilled their duty now. it’s my turn to stand by them and bring peace and satisfaction to their lives. Parents are priceless treasures once lost, they can never be replaced. It's my thing.
In my personal life, I consider myself blessed. For the past 6 years, I have been with a girl who is not just my partner but someone who has shared every chapter of my journey. She knows everything about me, even about my bitcoin. She used to work but no longer does, yet. The understanding between us is strong and unshakable. I have a stable job with a decent salary. I do not plan on selling my bitcoin anytime soon. because i know how big it's future can be. I want to save it for my children future. For the wedding, my father has already saved enough, and I also have my own savings to contribute. The ceremony will happen smoothly without touching my bitcoin.

To me, this is not just about marriage. it’s about responsibility, dreams, and building a path for the future. Fulfill my duty to my parents, starting a new life with my partner. Laying a strong foundation for the next generation together, this makes it the most important decision of my life.
Thank you sir.
