When Bitcoin becomes a value store worth a hundred billion dollars in todays value I will sell 1/2 of my holdings to purchase myself a yacht.
The remainder will be comfortably lived on.

100 000 000 000 / 21 000 000 = 4761.9047619

If this happens you will probably find a few companies selling a yacht for BTC  (unless USD hyperinflates e.g. when you have to pay $100 for a hamburger....it doesn't take a lot of companies to join to get to $4k+ per BTC then)

I'm not planning to cash out at any point - I'm trying to get what I need for BTC - and I really don't need fiat money. If I wanted to cash out e.g. @ $50 per BTC I would not only have to pay a lot of taxes when cashing out, but I'd also have to pay taxes for products purchased with my fiat money....

I originally had small staggered sell orders starting at 7 and moving up at 19% increase intervals.  That would have sold half the coins I bought at 2 by the time the price reached 100.  During the period of stability around 5, I canceled them all.

Tax reasons.  I didn't make the rules, and I don't like them, but I've gotten pretty good at playing by them.  I haven't paid income tax in years, not because of any fraud on my part, but simply because I limit my taxable income.  If I sell my coins, that streak will come to an end.  So a major cash out is no longer part of my plan.

And as others have mentioned, the necessity of converting back to any other currency to spend is declining daily.

I plan to sell in steps as the price rises, I just haven't quite figured out what those steps should be.

Maybe 20% @ $100, 20% of what's left @ $500, 20% of what's left after that @ $1,000, same again @ $5000, again at $10,000, etc.

That way, I always have something to sell when the price rises, no matter how far it rises.

I'm not planning to cash out. I hope in few years we could buy most things for bitcoin. Fiat burns holes in my pockets.

That would be my hope.  I hope society cashes out of fiat, and that's that.

Exactly.

I am only cashing out, if Bitcoins becomes FU money, like if my wealth turns into $100million then I would have no choice. Otherwise I am here for the long haul.
