The saddest and funniest thing about Bitcoin is when it hits over $100 a Bitcoin, most people are going to cash out. There will be very few who are going to keep their coins in the very late future. The dream of Bitcoin megawealth will only be experienced by a patient few.

why be sad about it? wide distribution is good.

At $100 it just means a different number in the Bitcoin wallet than when a previous purchase went through. Bought and spent in the same manner.

You know, some of us actually use bitcoin for purposes other than speculation, and we trade regardless of price.

Some of us already cashed out completely... of dollars.

No kidding.

It's a little whack, but the higher it goes the -fewer- I sell since it takes fewer to cover my incredibly awesome cheapo lifestyle.

The saddest thing is treating bitcoin like monopoly money.
The funniest thing is watching people participating in every ponzi scheme.

The funniest thing about comments like that is..
that for people going to cash out it always needs others going to cash in.
If most people are selling only few will get $100 per Coin.

back on topic:
The saddest and funniest thing about Bitcoin is all the strange people on this forum.

"cashing out" implies someone else buying these bitcoins.

So, while the saddest thing is someone selling, it's a happy and awesome thing that someone else is buying, and at a high price too.

Personally, I'll decide my end point of wealth I want, then cash out a certain amount at every price doubling. (while using them everyday in normal commerce too)

The saddest thing about Bitcoin is that Satoshi Nakamoto is probably too scared to come out of hiding.

Most people aren't prudent. They have families to feed, parties to go to and things to buy.

Prudent people don't blow the grocery money on speculation. : )

But you're right...most people aren't prudent.

Everything about the use of bitcoin seems negative at the moment, crime, gambling, money laundering and ponzi schemes... This forum reflects a disproportionate percentage of high risk seeking morons with no respect for money than the world at large. Any outsiders coming to this forum to get a bit of insight into bit coiners will have any illusions that bitcoins are the currency of the brainy elite shattered.

If bitcoins hit $100, that would mean that it's in high demand and has high usage, or that the value of fiat has dropped significantly. Prudent people hang onto valuable things.

A $100 price point also means people are still selling at that demand. It's safe to say there will be many declines as people settle for a higher and higher price.
