har har..laught it up, but if you bothered to actually read my post you'd understand that I was saying what I would do if I had that much in hindsigh of the experience I've went through. Obviously I would not repeat that mistake.

Sell out why? .... they can just trickle them in over a long period of time ... as and when is needed.

True, but time carries risk.

@SgtSpike, that could be true..but in that case it will turn into a game of who can hold out the longest / resist the urge to sell. Honestly if I had 300K I'd sell half and keep the other in a paper wallet and just forget about it for several years. It's a pretty big gamble but it could pay off huge in the end - assuming that you don't need to sell BTC to survive or sustain your lifestyle.

This.

The big holders are probably the ones responsible for not letting the price get up too high.  Many of them are probably trickling themselves a nice $10k/month or so.

No, last time I read the guy had it offline and backed up in multiple locations...

Still though if the value of btc crashes to 0 he's still screwed...


Not more screwed than the rest of us, though.

Yep..I'm willing to bet some BTC that he already cashed out a decent chunk of that. Tis all wild speculation, but I salute him for managing to carry the torch till the end.

What end?

The end of bitcoin (assuming such an eventuality)....

You think he can cash out that gigantic stash in case of a panick!? He's going down with the ship and there isn't one damn thing he can do about it. The big holders know that at least for now they're sort of stuck. They have to be long term bitcoin bulls. They can't sell out any time soon that is for sure.

But let's not think such negative thoughts.
