So we can assume you never will be selling your Aeon?
Why would he sell at a loss? It is fairly likely he was the one who placed market buy orders up to 9000 satoshi the other week and he said he wants to own 400,000 coins. The way he talks about 10-15 year timeframe it appears he is in for the long run.
Since when has the word 'never' been used to describe the short-term? Surely
never pertains to the infinite.
Clearly it was a question designed to probe whether AP is using Aeon as a method of acquiring BTC (given the quoted list), or whether he believes Aeon will become the defacto global currency, to which conversion to BTC (or even fiat) is unnecessary.
We used to talk about whether people were using Bitcoin as a means to acquire more fiat, or if they really believed in it. Now we are discussing Aeon in terms of "really believing in it" or using it merely to acquire more Bitcoins.
I once talked on Reddit about the philosophy of people who go "all the way" on risky gambles. I think this and Monero may be one such gamble with the potential to go "all the way".
I can promise you that I didn't get into Aeon to dump it at 50 cents or $1.00. Nor did I get into it to dump it at $5, or $10, or even $100. Aeon is literally and figuratively better as a currency than Bitcoin. To try to dump it for Bitcoin is to attempt to follow the herd into a more barren pasture than the one you already occupy.
On the other hand, my driver's side windows don't roll up on my 90's model car. When it rains, it rains on me.
Across my very thin walls, my neighbor's three children scream at all hours of the day while their parents scream back at them.
As well, my day job prevents me from pursuing cryptocurrency as much as I'd like.
So 300,000? Consider it gone. Locked up. Long term (and I mean 2020+) savings for me.
And for sure not a single Aeon is traded by me before Aeon is worth more than $1.
At that point, perhaps I will trade a few so that I don't have to drive in the rain anymore.
And maybe a few more if/when the price ever goes to $10 (Litecoin level)
And maybe a few more if/when the price ever goes to $100.
But at that point, between this and my Monero holdings, I will likely have already quit my job and gone full time Cryptonote promotion.
So for 70% of my Aeon? Absolutely, I promise not to sell it for silly Bitcoins or Dollars.
It's the world's first Digital Luxury Object. Why would I part with it for something so common and ordinary?
300k nice, i have more. im holding on to it as long as possible. its hard watching it sit there, i open my wallet everyday to see if the coins aint gone nowhere
i saw aeon becoming good when smooth told us his plans. its long term but lets see what happens. im in amazing profit so more the better. it will help when the ww3 kicks off
