I plan to hold until Bitcoin is fully adopted as online currency or dead. It's kinda lottery ticket stuff that way, losing never hurts Roll Eyes

Agreed. Though unlike lottery tickets it's a classical black swan bet, as you can't know the odds, the downside is limited and and the upside is unlimited.

Exactly!

Hell, one is gambling by *not* holding bitcoins!

For the longest time.

Best answer.

I'm considering to sell a percentage of my bitcoins to diversify my assets, but will not do so until a coin is worth around $2500.

From a miner perspective, or a bullish market player perspective?

I am not sure I understand your question? This does not really have anything to do with mining, and little to do with the bullish market, it is more of a retrospective look at your previous bitcoin actions. However you got the bitcoins in the past, on average, how long did you hold onto them before you sold them/spent them/lost them?

That's an alarming amount of cheese lovers on this site.

Don't worry, I also hired software development and paid in BTC; exactly what BTC is meant for. Fast enough, no hassle, no blockades. Will do it again if needed.

I'm holding until there is stability or I can afford to buy that private island in the tropics.

How would you convince aborigines chief to give you that island? You show him your paper wallet instead of glass jewelry??

And he say "hmmm fire kindling"

I'm preparing a website that will show charts of how many bitcoins in the system are being held unspent and how old are they.

I will buy things with my bitcoins.

As for big "sells"...I will some day pay off my house with a small portion of my bitcoins. Hopefully before that happens I can find a mortgage company that will take payments in bitcoins.

If it dies, I would not mind having a piece of history. If it succeeds, it sure as hell beats a loaded bank account.

This is the way I have talked about it to people.

They spend money on lottery tickets, when a well timed $5 purchase into bitcoins could achieve a similar end.
