To all the #bitcoin purists out there:

We save money for the future and for uncertainty. We save so that one day we don't have to work and can retire and enjoy the remainder of our lives with those whom we love.

Why would you never sell a portion of your bitcoin holdings, which you assert is the superlative savings vehicle, to afford you the ability to simply retire earlier?

The #neversell crowd, while I find myself in it sometimes, seems to have the mentality of "stack as much as you can forever man!"

I get the sentiment, but at a certain point you have to realize that when somebody gets run over by a gravel truck at work, leaving behind their family, and all they've ever done is work, work, work to stack more corn, I can guarantee that family would take their dad back with zero coins in a heartbeat if they could.

The only two things in this natural world that have been shown to be truly finite are time and the orange coin.

As bitcoiners, we need to remember that "time" part of the equations.

We need to remember that bitcoin is actually "freedom money," in the sense that if you save in it, you can buy your freedom from a fiat job with it.

You can, while your heart is still thumping in your chest, buy time with your loved ones with it.

We're nowhere near my price target for realizing the freedom I've been saving for; that would be too high of a percentage of my stack for my taste. But that time IS coming.

So my question to you is: truly would you never sell? And if not, why?
