Poll: At what price does the rapid rise make you nervous/sell in the next month?

[BitcoinTate]

Who said anything about banks? Gold, silver, oil, food, land, businesses, or whatever. It's simple: Bitcoin has a substantial chance of going to $0. You can very easily arrange other assets so that they do not have a substantial chance of falling very much at all. Even dollars in a wobbly bank + BTC, which is just about the worst possible diversification strategy, is nevertheless much safer than only BTC.

Diversification doesn't make you money, but it does help lock in your newfound wealth. This shouldn't be controversial as it's merely basic statistics that if you have $10 million and spread the risk around it reduces the chance you will ever not be a millionaire anymore. To me the value of being a multi-millionaire is not that much less than being a multi-billionaire. YMMV.

Ok ok. I will cash some out at $1000.00 and buy myself a brand new Ford Raptor pickup, a couple more AR-15s, a shit load more ammo and that AR-50 I have been looking at for awhile. Yes I am a redneck that was raised on a farm & ranch in the middle of no where. lol

History will be written like this: First there was the Internet which gave people the freedom to share knowledge, then Google organized the internet so others could quickly find it, then Facebook connected people on an daily basis within their entire social network and finally Bitcoin freed people financially from the rule of corrupt banksters!

Google was not the first search engine.

Facebook was not the first social network.

Never said they where, only said the internet was first. They are the ones history will remember. Just as Bitcoin was not the first virtual currency. But it will be the one that goes down in the annals of history.

If Bitcoin is the Facebook of crypto currency, then who was the Myspace or the Friendster?

What is the difference between being worth $1m and deciding to invest it all in BTC, and having a $1m of BTC and no other assets.

Would you tell somebody worth $1m to invest it all in BTC?

If so "I have business proposition for you ..."  

lol! Name another investment that has performed as well as BTC in the past three months? So yes, yes I would! 

I dont understand it either. Why to change good currency for bad one? I would do it only to buy something i currently need. And i would advise to not fear about moving bitcoin back stright to 0. If you think about it anything can crash that way but does it have to?

Yeah might as well, right? Go hog wild while still knowing you'll have a secure nest egg waiting for you on the other side of the Bitcoin singularity, whatever happens.

Where is the option for buying and selling constantly?

"I like to sell high and buy back higher! " Option added lol

It doesn't make any sense to pick a single value and cash out at that value.  None.  No sense at all.

That said, when value nears or crosses $1000 USD per bitcoin, I will probably sell 3-5% of my holdings.  Again at $5k, and $25k, $100k, $500k, etc.  Eventually though it may get to the point where NOBODY cashes out, because BTC is the standard currency of the world, and you just use it directly.  

I imagine a comical situation in 5-10 years in which someone finally sells out his 50 BTC at $1 billion each and is overjoyed at being a multi-billionaire, just before he realizes that USD is now worthless and his $50 billion isn't even enough to buy a hamburger.

I like this Poll. I am nosy what the mass will answer.

[BitcoinTate]

Damn... we might just hit $300 by tomorrow. There is just no resistance. My grandma just called me and now she wants to buy some BTC! lol

[Ekaros]

So where is option for us who don't have almost any bitcoins(0.00012159 for me ).

"I'm just here to 'troll' you!"

At 1M that will get me one or two nice dinners

[Elwar]

No option for buying dollars with 1 bitcoin at $160,000 to pay off my mortgage.

The rest is my currency, why would I get rid of it?
