We start out in a similar boat time-wise.  A driving force for me was paranoia that the exchanges would be clamped down on which was unfortunate because it induced me to buy faster than I would have otherwise.

I kept buying all the way down and would have made one more purchase if we saw sub $2.00.  We never did and Tradehill went down and sent my money back which was a natural stepping off point.

Dabbled with Bitcoinica for fun and got really really lucky, but since I didn't have much on the line the haul was minimal and I gave it to charity.

I always assumed a 100% loss and in fact I still do.  If I were fortunate enough to cash out I figured it would be years from when I started.  So sitting on my hands has been mentally quite easy for me.  At $15 I was up 3x.  Even if we do hit any of my anticipated cash-out points I expect some significant downturns prior.

I'd actually wait to see first.The fundamentals at the other exchanges are pretty much the same with the price being over 15.Gox is just one exchange.

Back in early July 2011 I bought in with $10k at around $14.20. That was down from $17 so I thought I got a bargain.

It has been a long rough year since.

In my attempt to try to "get my money back", I got Zhoutgouned for most of it around the $4 mark.

Wish I had my original amount still in BTC. Sad

As they say, you haven't lost money until you cash out at a loss.

that was a long ride

That is true.

I had a very long position too, seeing the worth halve, then after many months, it finally hit the old value, and doubled as well. I just figured I'd wait and stay in.

Nobody can foresee the future, so maybe even those buying in at 31ish can turn a profit if they wait long enough.
