Anthony Power and Bryce McNallie examine their selling strategies for Bitcoin mining stocks during this bull market cycle, revealing lessons learned from previous cycles and the importance of predetermined exit points.

• Bitcoin has broken its all-time high of $123,000 with miners surging 50-90% in the last month
• Bitfarms announced a 10% share buyback program (up to 49.9 million shares) to reduce their 557 million outstanding shares
• Mining stocks don't move in perfect correlation with Bitcoin's price - each miner peaks at different times
• This cycle differs from previous ones with ETF adoption, corporate treasury purchases, and pro-crypto regulations
• Setting predetermined sell targets based on price or percentage gains removes emotion from selling decisions
• The "second halving" effect of difficulty increases presents ongoing challenges for pure-play miners
• Most miners are diversifying into HPC/AI computing strategies with only Marathon and CleanSpark remaining pure-play
• Dollar-cost averaging out of positions is more effective than trying to time the absolute market top
• Journaling trades, joining a community, and having accountability partners helps maintain discipline
• "It never hurts to take a profit" - partial selling allows capturing gains while maintaining exposure
