If you be given a gift of 1BTC by someone and for you this amount is already something you did not expect. Will you sell your bitcoin right away and convert it into cash or just keep it for a better price to come or invest it or what?
I would hold it. The way I see it is that regardless of how much bitcoin you have, you don't actually own money that you can use until:
1) you convert the bitcoin to USD or whatever usable currency there is in your country
or
2) Bitcoin becomes so widely accepted that it can be used anywhere.
So, when you're given a gift, you don't have anything to lose -- you're not in the negative by buying that bitcoin or by losing it. You're technically only in the positive. For that reason, and because I feel that bitcoin has time to blossom even more, I would hold. I would also make sure to be cautious about drops though.
I agree. I assume I have been given a bitcoin by someone who knows how to use it, therefore, I think the purpose of giving it to me, more than the money, is the idea that I can use it to invest or trade for. Therefore, knowing where bitcoin is at right now, I would hold it as well like most of the replies state in the thread. By doing so, I am giving myself a chance to expand the amount I am given, if not, I would trade a part of it for some promising altcoins as an investment.
