Hedging your bets is usually a good idea. I really don't get why people are so afraid to put in even $100 at this point.

Because the price is still very low. When Bitcoin is recommended to the average consumer by the mainstream media as an investment then it will a very good indication that the time to sell has come. A really good indicator as to when to go short is when it is promoted on late night TV.

This by the way applies to many investments not just Bitcoin.

[sarcasm]2 dollars does not equate to millionaire even 100 years later remember you don't gain interest like an annuity.[/sarcasm]
