You are having a bad day holding you coins? Remember this: in 1976 Ronald Wayne sold his 10% stock in Apple for 800$. Now its worth $60 Billion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NncbZBEZLJMThe train hasn't even left the station yet. Once we get close to the ATH and pass it again, consolidation of Bitcoin's amazing recovery will put it clear: The sky is the limit, and that 1.2K peak will look like it's nothing in the all time graph. Long term holders: Don't be that guy.

Can I be the Bruce Wayne of bitcoin? I think we`ll all be bruce wayne of bitcoin and end up with a batman cave and more if we hold it like some apple stock. In the mean time, l`d just recommend storing it and forgetting about it until one day you hear about it on cnn or something promoting with amazon saying we`ll adopt the coin lol.

the problem for most people is patience. once they see they made 10-20% profit, they would probably take profits at that moment. only very few people are able to hold their coins for longer than a year.

My biggest regret is selling my stock in Apple and buying apples. I thought it was hilarious at the time, but everyone has an iPhone now.

Good point. That guy missed on like 30.000% profit gains... totally insane. But who would have hold for 20+ years? It's so damn difficult. Im going to try to leave a decent amount of BTC in cold storage and never touch them, and only touch the BTC i leave outside there, and see what happens in the mega long term.

yeah, which is why most of us would probably sell our bitcoin before the 1k value. or even before it hit 30k value or whatever future value.

all things are changing with time, perhaps 20 years later, Apple's market value is back to only -$60, and people would say Ronald Wayne did well in 1976

Isn't the much more important question "how much did he invest to get 10% of the Apple stock?"
If he bought his 10% shares for 100$, then it's a really nice RoI. Compare it with the altcoin market in the cryptocurrency world. At that time, Apple was just a very tiny company.

Long term holders: Don't be that guy. I didn't know about this guy, thanks for that! It's always a fear i have, missing the boat, but I also can't invest too much in something as risky as Bitcoin, and if the price rises I will be very tempted to sell, especially at $1000+. I had a similar but lesser problem with Quark last year, just before it was announced that Bill Still would go on the Kaiser report I sold (actually was trading). I woke up the next day and the price had more than tripled. Cost me thousands, I could have cried, but I didn't know what I didn't know! I could have bought back in, but then I would have lost again, as the was the all time high price! Life isn't easy!

For every Ronald Wayne, there are thousands of people who held onto stocks that have gone bust. You all should take note that you are running a much higher chance of holding onto worthless coins than bitcoin going to the moon.

The comparison would be valid for those who bought BTC below 1$ and sold for ~10$. Try another comparison:

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

Everyone here has understood what OP meant, spare the occasional retard known for his fudsters post that got the history backwards. Only the 1% of people that bought cheap ass Apple stocks are still holding them becoming billionaires. Tons of other stocks have never gone down in time. All of the best Warren Buffet picks he bought decades ago and still hasn't sold (too bad he lacks the long term vision for bitcoin or anything technological). Not buying BTC now and holding for 2 decades is a guaranteed future suicide due too much regret, specially being an active member here. The comparison would be valid for those who bought BTC below 1$ and sold for ~10$. Try another comparison: Nope. Sure, you'll not become a billonaire unless you bought at the super early stages, but anyone can become a millionaire one buys now. The interim marketcap for BTC in the future is in the trillions, as it will change all electronic payments combined. This makes anyone holding 10 coins-ish inevitably a millionaire.
