I know this falls into the sunk cost fallacy

How is this the sunk cost fallacy?

Because price isn't 118k. He's already suffered the loss.

Bitcoins value is 60k (we'll, maybe $0), not 118

reply

yeah but sunk cost fallacy is making a decision out of some obligation you feel because you've already spent money right? Losing money and still thinking you're making a good long-run decision isn't sunk cost fallacy.

reply

Yes it is because I don’t know the future. Me holding on is refusing to realize the loss. If I sold and didn’t get a new loan then you are correct.

I bought Bitcoin at $118k by not selling a single sat to pay off the loan balance I haven’t realized the loss yet.

reply

Yeah but nobody knows the future. That means anyone holding through a drawdown is committing the sunk cost fallacy?

reply

With the price in the toilet after one year I am still hoping the price can increase above $118K which would make this strategy work. Since it is down 50% I am sticking with it even after the losses I experience instead of just paying off the loan and not opening a new line of credit.

reply

Wouldn't sunk cost fallacy be if you stuck with it because of the losses/spent money. As of now you just think it's still a smart strategy despite losses.

Pointless sidetrack I know haha
