Reasons for selling

I've been accumulating and HODL'ing for several years now. I've acquired several bitcoin and had no intention of selling. I never sold anything, not even one satoshi.

But... my wife and I have been considering selling our current (first, small'ish, renovated) house and upgrade to a newly constructed house that ticks all our boxes.

We now have the opportunity to do just that but it would require me to sell as 80% of our net worth is in BTC. Rationally I know I should just wait 2 years but... I'm living NOW. I'm 45, working my ass off and we deserve it. I would say real estate is a good longterm investment as well. Diamond hands or no?

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
