Actually I have these choices :
1. Sell and Get a 2080Ti
2. Dont sell
3. Wait until 3080Ti better and cheaper , estimated June 2020 -
Thinking to get a cheap ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660 around 200 Euro just to be able to play some games until 3080Ti
I know if I dont sell it now I may not be able to sell it later on.

I note that the 2080ti isn't that much better than the 1080ti, sure it can handle ray-tracing but is anyone going to enable that in the handful of supported titles, seeing as it does a great job of reducing frame-rate.
So, you could stick with the 1080ti for as long as you can, and then upgrade 3+ years from now, when you really will notice a difference. You might even jump to AMD at that point (assuming the drivers are better).
Edit: one note. You do need to have the CPU to back it up, otherwise you're still likely to run into CPU bound scenarios.

Your Threadripper will definitely not be enough and you would only throw your money away.
But if you want to experiment with ray tracing then sure, go for it.
