How much higher does the price need to go for you to cash out of your bitcoins? What are the reasons why you are not selling now? Is it that you expect the currency to appreciate further? Or are there any other reasons why you are not cashing out?
If you think we're here treating this thing as some kind of ponzi scheme so we can 'cash out', you're completely missing the point and true intent of Bitcoin. Sure, I'm sure (unfortunately) there are plenty of pump&dumpers here.. it's to be expected. However our dream and objective is to actually use this currency as a *replacement*, not as a way to get rich in FIAT-money denominated terms. I want to be able to spend Bitcoin anywhere. I'd actually be happy to see the pump&dumpers and speculators leave, so I can buy more Bitcoin at a cheaper price.
The more intelligent here are holding onto their coins and riding out the inevitable bumps because they 'get it'. The gamblers are sitting there refreshing bitcoincharts.com all day waiting nervously to see if/when 'everyone else' will start selling. I know which side I'm on. Bitcoin is a much, much bigger deal than I think a lot of the college kids, newcomers & gamblers on this forum realize. I'm what you would call one of the 'early adopters' and most people would gasp if they knew how much coin I had. I spent most of it already and even though I'd be rich if I would've kept it, I don't mind. It's about the dream, it's not about getting rich in federal reserve notes.
