If you are holding BTC, how to take profits wisely? Here are 3 methods I find effective
Everyone says, “buy BTC to hold long term.” But then one beautiful day, BTC skyrockets – you sell everything, and the price goes up more → regret. Don’t sell → price drops → confusion.
I have experienced that feeling. And here are 3 reasonable ways to take profits that I learned:
1. Sell at price milestones – split it up, no regrets
• For example: Sell 20% at $80K, 30% at $100K, 50% at $120K
• No need to guess the peak
• Always have cash to take profits when the market rises
2. Sell based on profit ratio – withdraw capital, let profits run
• When the account doubles → withdraw the original capital
• The remaining part to continue holding, light mindset
3. Sell according to cycles – look at the big picture
• BTC often peaks 12–18 months after halving
• When the whole market is FOMO strong, everyone says “buy BTC,” that might be the time… you should sell
As for me?
Now I split BTC into 2 parts:
• 50% for long-term holding
• 50% to be sold at each milestone, so I don’t have to “sit and regret missing the peak”
What about you? How do you take profits? Or are you still holding everything?
