Oh my, we actually have the same experience I sold mine when it reached $1265 thinking that the Bitfinex announcement regarding deposit problem will affect the value of the currency but alas it never put a brake to the continuing upward movement of Bitcoin. I am sad because in my estimate I really lost some money in there. I listened to an advice from a friend who is actually also a newbie like me here in Bitcoin and it is really unfortunate.
Anyway, there is nothing we can do about it. Good thing that I was able to withdraw some Bitcoin from a good revshare program hence I am hiding a little of Bitcoin right now and still able to ride with the bull.
