The real question is: "should I take profits?"

It looks like the price is bouncing back from just below $120. I think there's a reasonable chance that it will move down to below $100 in the near-term, but it's not a certainty by any means. Ultimately, I see the long term (years) value of Bitcoin being $1k+ and I don't think the risk of liquidating some of my position now to hopefully get a discount in the near future is worth the chance that I'll end up missing out on that large growth.

Could escrow services help this?

Does anyone still read these?

I'm Ben. I develop software and am setting up a 4.5 TH/s mining op with my business partner. Here's a super basic talk I gave a few weeks ago as an intro to Bitcoin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBekhTHZNsU. I'm also just getting into Ripple.
