Honestly, I never got what people meant by 'never sell your Bitcoin' until recently. I thought it was just about the price going up and holding onto it because it’s valuable. But after talking to actual Bitcoin enthusiasts and reading some economics stuff, I see it's deeper than that.

I think the phrase 'never sell your bitcoin' is kinda vague. It sounds like we should just keep hoarding forever without thinking about how to use our wealth. It makes more sense to say wait before you sell, rather than just never sell.

Everyone's got different reasons for investing in Bitcoin. Sure, some prefer to hold long-term, but not everyone can mirror Satoshi's approach. Some might use it as a family inheritance while others see it as a way to grow wealth over time.

Honestly, the whole 'never sell' thing feels unrealistic. Most of us aren’t billionaires and have to be practical about our finances. Investing should at least come with a plan for when to take profits.

I'd say we should consider trading instead of selling. The word 'sell' makes it feel like we’re just swapping Bitcoin for ‘real’ money, which keeps us tethered to the fiat mindset. But I get the sentiment; I don't plan on trading my Bitcoin for anything either.

To truly grasp Bitcoin, you need to see it as more than just an asset. It’s a shift in financial thinking. Many just focus on fiat prices and forget that Bitcoin is about escaping that broken system.

You're missing the point. 'Never sell your Bitcoin' is a reminder that if you sell now, you might regret it later when the price skyrockets. It’s not misleading; it’s a call to be aware of potential future value.

Satoshi is really the only one who hasn’t sold any Bitcoin. But let's be real, we all will need to sell at some point whether to spend or pass it on. Unless you lose the keys, that is.

Bitcoin should enhance your life. If you never cash in or use it somehow, it’s just a number. The 'never sell' mantra is like a motivational tool, but you need to think about a withdrawal plan eventually.

It’s impossible to just hold Bitcoin forever when you have control over your keys. If I hit my target, I’ll definitely start taking profits bit by bit. It’s my investment, I should enjoy it.

If you don’t understand why 'never sell' is said, your post isn’t clear. The core idea is that Bitcoin's value is likely to increase, so selling prematurely could lead to regret.

Everyone has different strategies. I sold some Bitcoin for profit and bought back at lower prices. I still hold a lot but it’s about enjoying some gains while accumulating more.

Isn’t this thread supposed to share your insights? Why ask us instead of sharing your understanding? Would love to hear your thoughts on why Bitcoiners say 'never sell.'

If you sell to buy things, that means you’re benefiting from your Bitcoin. Never selling could lead to dying rich but leaving it all for heirs who might mishandle it. Money should help you achieve goals, not just sit there.

We all interpret this 'never sell' phrase differently. For me, it’s about holding long-term but when the time is right, I’ll sell a part. Different folks have different timelines for when they’re ready to cash out.

Your plans and situation are unique. No need to compare yourself with others. If you need to sell Bitcoin, go for it. Life's too short to just hoard cash for the afterlife.

Saying 'never sell' isn’t realistic. We’ll have to sell eventually, and I always keep a price point in mind for when I do. If it hits my goal, I’m selling.

Every investor knows they’ll eventually sell their Bitcoin. The idea is not to rush it just because everyone else is. You'll go through phases accumulation, balancing, etc.

Couldn’t wrap my head around your logic of 'never sell your Bitcoin'. It’s meant to be currency, right? If you need to buy something, why wait just to hold onto it?

The phrase 'don't sell' can mean different things. Some see it as a sign that Bitcoin will keep rising. But those who need cash will have a hard time sticking to that mindset.
