We will be in different situations where we have no choice but to sell a portion of our holdings. Don't feel guilty when doin that because that's also the reason why we're holding, and that's to be profitable and what we'll do with profits? to solve the problems that we're currently facing. Some holders are guilt tripping themselves thinking that it's a bad decision that they have sold. But the reality isn't like that, even the rich people have to sell when they're in need and so are we that are just shrimps on this market. We can sell anytime we have to and be happy with it because we can always get that back through DCA.
It's disturbing to sell knowing it's not the worth of the asset. The pain may not be now, like everyone who has ever sold, during the bull run regrets always sets in and tend to worsen the mistake. However, nothing wrong with selling for a financial responsibility, nobody would own money and wouldn't solve monetary related dispute or problems or needs. In addition it's always great to have other sources that'll argument such needs, instead of touching the Bitcoin.
Don't feel guilty when you're in a situation and your Bitcoin holdings will be the solution for you to solve it. If it isn't requiring you to sell all that you've got, much better. And if you're able to use other assets that you have rather than your Bitcoin, then it's also a better choice to opt to. Because not everyone holds a lot of Bitcoin and even the small mBTCs that we have, not everyone can afford to save it as well. So, if there is an option to do it, better to think of other ways as well but if you have no choice but to sell some of your holdings. Still, don't feel bad about it and just DCA again in recovering those sold BTCs you owned before.
