This might be a bit of a bad question, but I don’t know where to ask to get the least biased responses.
So, I have about $1.000 in Bitcoin that used to be $300 (I’ve put in about $1.500 in various shitcoins before getting those BTC)
I fly drones as a hobby and I was thinking of getting a new system for that amount of money.

It’s not really a complex equation. If you need liquidity, liqudate assets. If you don’t need liquidity, don’t liquidate assets.
How badly you want your new hobby system is something only you can answer.
