This might be real.

Or this might be a speculative bubble.

I can't tell

I have 3 BTC that i bought below 55.

If I sell now, and the price comes crashing down, I could end up with 5, maybe even 6 BTC!

But will it?

beginning of a new paradigm

new paradigm

Absolute minimum floor right now is $50. Even self-confessed bears will be buying at $50 or above.

Losing 30% of its value in few hours and than recover means the value is valid, don't you guys think so?

How?  Getting a job? 

...Not a bubble.

Cash out to pay off debt means I'm at $0. Statements like "paying off debt is never a stupid thing to do" is the type of common sense thing that most of the country (USA) believes. Most of the country also reaches retirement age with savings of under $100k, and are dependent on Social Security or work way into the old age. And the type of stuff I had to make people unlearn when I worked as a personal financial analyst.
Rule #1 - have an emergency savings account (which would be gone if I use it to pay off debt)
Rule #2 - paying into a 4% debt I'd EXACTLY like paying into a 4% investment (seriously, calculate it out). So put your money into whatever has the highest interest, be it debt or investment (based on your risk tolerance).
People think debt is the worst thing ever, and should be gotten rid of first, and it's a really stupid misconception that needs to die, because when you reach 65, with no debts, and nothing but $100,000 to your name, you are most definitely NOT a winner.

Highest loan is 6.75% (student loans)

If i decide to pay off the debt, my one outcome is that I now have no debts, and no money. I have to live paycheck to paycheck, starting my savings account from scratch, even if I get to keep a bit more off every paycheck.

If i decide to keep the coins, I actually have three possible outcomes:
1) Bitcoin price keeps rising considerably - I make minimum payments on the debts, and come out way way way ahead.
2) Bitcoin stays at the rate of my debts, or stabilizes - I continue making minimum payments, and once I pay off my debts, my Bitcoin wealth, though not large, still remains.
3) Bitcoin price plummets - I may be able to sell off whatever coins I can before the value is gone to help pay down the debts, then continue making minimum payments on the debt while having to start building up my savings from scratch.

Now let's see which is the least risky option:
Let's say for some reason I lose a job or hit an economic hardship (get hit by some big expense).
If I have paid off my debt, there is only one outcome: I'm screwed.
If I have held onto my coins, there are three outcomes:
1) I have plenty of money, can still easily pay my debt payments with my BTC, and don't even have to worry
2) I have some money, and maybe should be worried, since my bitcoins may not last too long, but there is enough to cover my debt payments and sustain me.
3) I'm screwed.

So, if I sell, (the supposedly safe thing to do), if I get in trouble, there is one outcome: screwed.
If I don't sell (the supposedly risky, gambling option), there are three outcomes, and in only one of them I'm screwed.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I make the big bucks

I really don't speak english... is this for real?

I think at this point (current price) I can pretty much pay off all my student loans and my husband's car as well, but somehow I feel like that would be a stupid thing to do

Alright dude...for the last time. Coinabul. Check 'em out. You should be able to easily figure it out. Or you aren't as clever as some of your comments suggest.
