I hope that if the price ever goes into the hundreds there's a robust enough bitcoin economy that I don't need to cash out.

True enough... even now, Coinabul's prices will be pretty irresistible if we go over $10 again.  I think I would rather buy some stuff than 'cash out' too.

I don't plan on cashing out. I want my bitcoins to be useful, goddammit! I'm only putting money in. I buy things with them and I invest them. Why would I cash out to an inferior currency? Only because I wanted to buy something only available with that currency... and like proudhon I sure hope that when Bitcoin reaches its full potential, I will be able to buy almost anything with bitcoins.

I would cash out if I felt that bitcoins were grossly overvalued for the non-speculative demand I felt existed at the time and that as a result the price was likely to implode.

Well, yeah, there's that.

Exactly, e.g. if it went to $15 in the next few days I would cash out, but if it went to $15 in the next year I probably wouldn't.

I would sell 90% at $10k in gold. The rest I would save for retirement.  8)

lets say the people Really do start DUMPING the EUR for BTC ( call it a "bank run gone bitcoin" )

so the EUR will be dropping while the BTC rising, causing more bank runs gone bitcoin, in few weeks the EUR is worthless (or months cuz the government will only allow them to take out 300EUR a day?)

would the collapse of the EUR effect other currencies?

Exactly. If they are ever worth a lot of money then you will be able to buy many things with them without needing fiat.
