The reason you don't "take profits" by selling Bitcoin for USD dollars, is the same reason why you don't "take profits" by selling US dollars for Lebanese pounds, Venezuelan bolivars, Iranian rials or Vietnamese dongs.
Why is this such a hard concept for people to understand?
Cardio sucks if the activity you're engaging in sucks.
For example, I love doing heavy bag workouts on my own.
10x 2-minute rounds with 1-minute breaks in between rounds.
I would dread being on the treadmill running for 20 minutes, but I love hitting the bag for 20 minutes.
I'm not planning to buy a home until Bitcoin is at least $1M.
Even then, I'll try to find a way to not sell my Bitcoin to buy the home.
Yeah, Bitcoin can and most likely will go to $5M and $10M and $20M, and so on, but you buy a home to settle down in and have a family.
You can't put a price on that.
The UK government hates you and is actively working very, VERY hard to make sure that, by 2030, you'll own nothing and be "happy"
These are the people who tell you that Bitcoin is a scam

Bitcoin is literally a living expenses inflation hedge over any 4-year holding period.
CPI is not inflation.
Since March 2020, before the massive QE, which most Bitcoiners said it would be inflationary, until June 2022, when US CP-Lie peaked, Bitcoin was up ~210%.
During the same time, people's real cost of living inflated by 30-50%.
How is being up 210% over an inflationary period not an inflation hedge?
Oh, and by the way, Bitcoin continued to go up, despite a 77% bear market drop, and is now up almost 1,500% since March 2020.
However, anyone who started saving $70 per week in Bitcoin, in March 2020, is up almost 1,000% in purchasing power.
So, how can TradFi bros and eCoNoMiStS claim that Bitcoin is not an inflation hedge?
Because they're full of shit, that's how.
Imagine running a deficit each year since 2001, being $36.35 trillion in debt, with another $225.77 trillion in unfunded liabilities, while depending on the rest of the world to provide you with a significant portion of vital products and weapons for your continued existence.
The same people who brought the U.S. to this stage are the same ones who benefited the most from destroying the US the middle class.
They're also the same people who claim that they need to tax you more, because they've proven to be so fiscally responsible with your tax dollars and debt issuance in the past.
Here's the recipe to not become poor:
1. Provide value to society
2. Spend less than you earn
3. Save in Bitcoin for minimum 4 years
You're welcome!
UNPOPULAR OPINION:
Not all rich people are greedy.
Not all broke people are lazy.
Yeah, the Bitcoin-backed lending market has changed a ton in just the last 4-5 years. I can't even imagine what will be available in the next 4-5 years, but I'm sure it will be insane

Whatever you tax you disincentivise and whatever you subsidise you incentivise. It's really that simple.
Can't believe that it's 2025 and most people are still working for fiat currencies.
You literally have the ability to work for the best performing asset over the last 14 years.
You can take your excess productivity and save it in the one asset that has the highest, risk-adjusted growth potential over the next 10-20 years, alone.
Not to mention that it's the most accessible asset to save in, because you can buy as little as $0.01 at a time.
Have I mentioned that you can also take self-custody of it, unlike with stocks, bonds, REITs, and other TradFi assets?
Why do you think so many people are sleeping on Bitcoin?
Normies and no-coiners will literally try and gamble on shitcoins, because they think they missed the boat on Bitcoin.
99.9% of them will lose their shirt, when they could just stay humble and stack sats, and get ahead financially.
Unfortunately, they want the quick and easy "fix" and the vast majority of them won't get it.
The best investor of last year was Michael Price.
Only him and Cliff Sosin outperformed someone who just bought $100 worth of Bitcoin every week the whole year.

You know who that someone can be?
Anyone in the world with $100 worth of disposable income per week.
That includes taxi drivers, bricklayers, nurses, food delivery guys, warehouse workers, cleaners, waiters, etc.
Bottom line is, the average person has the opportunity to save in an asset that performs as well, and sometimes better, than the best professional investors out there.
And they can literally do it on autopilot, because Bitcoin-only exchanges like Strike, River, and many others offer DCA options.
