Why do you expect the value to go up? What potential do you see?
From what I've read, it looks like the price of Bitcoins has done nothing but rise since they were created. One would assume that with popularity increasing, the price will continue to do the same.
And as for the potential of Bitcoin, it's huge. The fact that it's a currency not being controlled by anyone is just the tip of the iceberg.
After two more years of price increases are you going to change your mind and sell bitcoins for dollars?
That's a really good question. Initially I saw bitcoin as a way to try to earn some extra cash, with the assumption that I would then use cash to buy things. Now, I want bitcoin to succeed such that I don't need cash to buy things that I need and want. In other words, I want to stay
in bitcoin.
