Title: Are you risk adverse?

In other words, are you sitting on your bitcoins, or are you playing with them / cashing out?

what about actually spending them to make this 'currency' move... lets actually do something useful with it.

Given that I need a source of funding to pay for some computer upgrades and a cintiq I'm being pretty risky right now and speculating but normally I'd be more than happy to let compound interest do all the work if I was earning, it's because this will get me a more regular income that I speculate :D I'm currently trading on altcoin price swings but yeah, normally I'm very risk averse.

I realise the irony of me saying that with Bitcoin's price fluctuations lately but I'm talking about just owning the stuff not trading it for paper money.

fyi: I'm going to spend some of the Bitcoins I earn in a Bitcoin component store so I'm doing my part :D
