Is it really a big mistake to sell portion of your bitcoin and then rebuy back when the price has dip?

The reason why am asking this question is because with the right approach I think this can also be done and even help you get good value of bitcoin when the price dip but there are conditions that would prompt you to actually sell some fraction of your investment.

It may not be a big mistake but of what difference are you who claims to be a bitcoin investment holder from the retail trader who only buys at dip price waiting to sell when price rise. Are you selling due to emergency (then you are meant to have an emergency funds) or you selling cause there is a price?

That the particular approach is appealing to you it can still be not the right approach towards your bitcoin investment when you have to sell a portion of your holdings at every bitcoin price rise to rebuy when it dips. Do you not think you are investing without a proper duration on your investment? You are holding for 6 or 8 years let it be so as planned.

Some people don't really understand that getting much benefit from Bitcoin investment is when you accumulate it over time and hold, that's when they'll get better profits, it's the more reason why it requires patience else the idea of waiting for the dip, buy and then sell when the price increases won't be talked against.

Yes dear, waiting for the dip to buy then take profit when the price goes up is a traders mentality there's no difference between people who do that and traders, Real investors accumulate bitcoin consistently and hodl it for a very long period cause that's what the concept of Bitcoin investment is all about and nor what traders do.

To get the best part of any investment a seasoned investor should be aware that having a king-size of the asset is what will be reflective in your profit and to have such size you have to display patience over time with an aggressive accumulation target.

I was of the thought lately that it will be important to emphasize that before people embrace bitcoin they should make research of what characters differentiating a trader and an investor and boldly make a choice if where they want to be, an investor then do what real Investors do, a trader then by all means do what traders do, stop mixing things.

People come into this space without even knowing who they want to be, trader or investor. They jump in, start mixing both, and at the end of the day they get confused, frustrated, and end up blaming Bitcoin or the market. The truth is, an investor mindset is built around patience and conviction, while a trader mindset is built around speed and risk management. If you try to be both without understanding the differences, you will just be setting yourself up for mistakes..

And about the king size accumulation part, I agree. underestimating how powerful consistent buying and holding can be is not wise. It’s not flashy, but over years it speaks louder than so call traders. A trader claims to make quick moves, but an investor who keeps stacking and holding through the noise eventually sees that big reflective profit you mentioned. it’s about being intentional and choosing your lane, not drifting between both out of confusion..
