How and When to Sell Cryptocurrency — A Simple Guide

It’s hard to miss out on a cryptocurrency bull market, but what’s worse is watching your cryptocurrency assets soar and plummet before you can take any profits.

A recent Cointelegraph video explains how to build a cryptocurrency exit strategy in a few simple steps.

Making a profit means turning your digital profits into real money. There are two main ways to cash out your cryptocurrency. Convert your assets to stablecoins and transfer them to a cryptocurrency wallet, or sell your cryptocurrencies for fiat and transfer the money to your bank account.

Deciding when to sell, what cryptocurrency to sell, and how much to sell for depends on your financial situation, life stage, risk tolerance, and investment goals.

Don’t try to time the market perfectly. Instead, set clear price targets for selling your cryptocurrency and decide what percentage you want to sell at each target. For example, if you have $25,000 invested in a particular coin, you can sell 20% when your portfolio reaches $50,000 and 30% when it reaches $75,000.

A popular strategy is the “house money” approach. This means that if your investment increases significantly, you can cash out your initial investment and keep the profits. This minimizes emotional stress because you already have the initial capital.

Trading fees and taxes can affect your bottom line, so consider these costs. Ultimately, holding cryptocurrency is beneficial, but the goal is to use the profits to improve your life. Developing a disciplined exit strategy is critical to achieving this balance.
