I know the bottom must be here because I’m thinking should sell

If you believe in crypto, why would you ever sell?

You can believe in crypto and sell some to buy a fun IRL thing

Purity tests and maximalism are dumb

Hear you, but this wasn't a maximalism or purity test - just a simple question to understand your thought process

If an asset you love is down, you should be buying more of it, not selling it

And if you wanna buy some fun IRL thing, and you have to sell crypto to do it, that may be a signal that you're over-invested

In my opinion, the optimal strategy is to have enough cash to do what you want in the real world while also continuing to buy crypto and hold for the long run

But to each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That makes more sense

My broader point is that timing the market rarely works (as I think we both agree)

So, to that end, I always try to keep enough cash on hand so that I can do that discretionary spending as I want without thinking about my long-term investments in tandem

Mostly this was a joke that I have the worst timing when it comes to wanting to sell, I tend to do so right before things pump again

In general you’re correct

We have a very tight family budget in terms of how we prioritize spending

But my crypto holdings(separate from our family crypto investments which are more substantial) generally are mine to do with as I see fit

So if I want something JUST of me it needs to come out of there
