In an interview, the founder of a leading company shared his unique perspective on Bitcoin. When asked about when he would cash out given his holdings of $10 billion worth of Bitcoin with substantial unrealized gains (approximately 70% profit), he provided an interesting answer: never.

The founder's logic is that holding Bitcoin itself is the best profit-taking exit strategy. Why is that? Because he believes Bitcoin is different from traditional publicly traded stocks; it is an independent major asset class. In other words, in his view, Bitcoin is not a tool for quick money but part of a long-term asset allocation.

This "buy at all-time highs" attitude has indeed sparked quite a bit of discussion. Whether you agree with this holding philosophy or think it sounds like marketing hype, it's worth pondering: what fundamentally distinguishes Bitcoin as an asset class from traditional financial assets?

Never sell? This flower is blooming a bit too high, I'm scared.

Never sell, that sounds great, but when the real bear market comes, everyone has to run.

Never sell? Alright, let's wait until his coin price halves and see what he says then. --- This logic sounds like making excuses for trapping oneself, just a different way of saying it. --- $10 billion profit and still not selling, either true faith or pure marketing, can't tell. --- So basically, it's assets that are not impressive, simply packaged as "major asset classes," right? --- If it were a 70% return, I would have taken profits in batches long ago. Is this testing my resolve? --- I just want to know how much this guy bought in at, maybe for him, never selling is the biggest profit. --- I don't know if there's a big difference between Bitcoin and stocks, but his words definitely gained a lot of attention. --- So holding itself is a form of exit? I really haven't heard of this new concept.

Never sell? Man, you must be thinking about holding long-term, or you haven't considered the cyclical nature of the crypto market at all. --- Sounds good, but 70% profit still isn't enough? What benchmark are you comparing this to? --- Listening to this kind of talk is really tiring now. Is it faith or just early groundwork for cutting losses? Who can really tell the difference? --- Holding itself is a form of exit strategy... That logic is so convoluted. It sounds like you're just encouraging those who are trapped. --- Bitcoin worth $10 billion will never be sold. If it were me, I would have cashed out in stages long ago. Who can resist such temptation? --- Asset allocation makes sense, but when the bear market hits, can you really stay so calm? I have my doubts. --- Alright, continue holding. Anyway, it's not my money whether I lose or not.

Never sell? Man, that sounds a bit hollow. Talking about 10 billion always feels like there's a lack of sincerity. But to be fair, it does make sense. BTC has long ceased to be just a speculative target. Whether this guy truly believes it or is just pure propaganda, it's hard to tell. The premise of holding forever is that it will always go up, right? The market has to buy into it. It's a romantic notion for the wealthy; us ordinary folks still need to cash out, haha. Sounds good, but who knows what they'll do at critical moments? We'll see their attitude during a bear market. It's really just backing up his own holdings. Don't be brainwashed. I believe in his theory, but I don't believe he'll never sell—unless he's really foolish. For asset allocation, holding is fine, but the phrase "never sell" is too much of a stretch.

Never sell, it's easy to say. When the price really drops, it'll be a whole different story. --- $10 billion can be held, this guy either truly believes or is a master of rhetoric. --- Sounds nice, but isn't it just because the price is going up happily? Try holding if it drops 50%, see if you still persist. --- Asset allocation, sounds very professional, but essentially it's just betting that Bitcoin will always go up. --- This is the freedom of the wealthy. For us retail investors, we'd have already sold everything and run away. --- Interesting, but it seems this logic only holds when prices are continuously rising. --- Never cashing out vs. always being trapped—that's a story of two different worlds. --- Basically, it's just the arrogance of the rich. No rush. --- I've been meaning to ask, is this kind of rhetoric genuine belief or part of public opinion management? --- Not selling equals always making money? This logic sounds so familiar to me.
