sold some of my btc yesterday to make payroll, and i'm actually fine with it

decided to sell a big part of my initial bitcoin investment yesterday when it hit 117k. needed to make sure my employees get their paychecks on time.

look, if you don't need the money, definitely don't sell. i didn't want to sell either, but sometimes real life gets in the way of holding forever. and honestly, i feel ok about this decision. not going to spend time regretting it.

i'll buy back more when i can afford to. but here's what i keep thinking about, what's the point of accumulating btc until you die and never actually enjoy the profits? until you use your bitcoin, it's just numbers on a screen.

my employees needed their pay. that's real. that matters right now. bitcoin will still be there when i have extra money to put back in.

i think we get so caught up in always wanting more that we forget why we're doing this in the first place. there's more to life than just accumulating and never spending. sometimes you have to use your investments for what actually matters.

anyone else had to sell for real world needs? how did you handle it mentally? part of me knows this was the right call, but another part of me keeps thinking about what that bitcoin might be worth in a few years.

just trying to remind myself that taking care of people who depend on you is more important than portfolio numbers. but man, selling at any price feels weird after holding for so long.
