“When should I sell my cryptos? It stresses me out to have them accumulated for so long and that this could disappear out of nowhere.”
This message was left by a follower, and honestly, I felt very identified.
Many of us entered the crypto world with enthusiasm, but also with fear: what if I lose everything overnight?
It's normal. No one wants to see their money vanish.
Here’s my response, based on personal experience:
🔸 First: set a goal from the very beginning.
Investing without a plan is like getting on a plane without knowing where it's going.
Ask yourself: Are you buying to double your investment? To pay for a trip? For the long term?
🔸 Second: write down your entry point and your exit goal.
Real example: If you bought $SOL at $110 with the idea of selling at $220 (x2), when that price is reached… sell!
If you lack discipline, greed can make you lose everything.
🔸 Third: don’t try to sell at the exact peak.
No one sells right at the top. It’s healthier to secure profits in stages.
You can use the partial selling strategy: for example, sell 30% when you double, another 30% if it rises 3x, and so on.
🔸 Fourth: use alerts or stop-loss orders if it stresses you out too much.
If you can't sleep peacefully because of your investment, something is wrong.
Binance, CoinMarketCap, or TradingView allow you to set alerts.
Don’t be overly concerned: set clear rules and stick to them.
🔸 Fifth: if you don't know when to exit, maybe you still don’t know why you entered.
And this is key. Invest when you have a reason and exit when that reason changes.
📌 Conclusion:
Selling is not a failure. It's part of a good strategy.
Sometimes you win, other times you learn… but the worst thing you can do is not have a plan.
