Eh if you really believe in crypto it makes no sense to cash out, but every peak has shown that attitude of “this is when crypto will really go mainstream” was wrong.
Exactly. I hate this message that you should ride Bitcoin to the bottom because some day it’ll be worth a million. Cash is a position. When it’s low (and it always goes low) you can buy back in again. You effectively have more Bitcoin for the same invested cash.
The value of the work done in the Blockchain must be tied to the value of the applications it supports. This was always the premise from day one. Originally, that application was supposed to be payment processing. A perfectly legitimate application, but one which comes with an interesting problem - it requires an external source of value. The value of a payment processing application can’t be more than the value of the assets it can process. Also the Blockchain turned out to be pretty shit at it.
The speculative value of Bitcoin was always a paradox, and pretty obvious IMO. But cryptocurrency as collateral value for stake/work done in a distributed applications is legitimate, and some variant of it will eventually find some valuable application IMO. But those tokens will need to have stronger anti-speculation mechanisms built in.

Well, it would be smart to cash part of it out and diversity your portfolio in case something happens.

Even if you think it’s a terrible idea, that’s really not what Ponzi scheme means…
