I have transaction to Mt. Gox, no confirmation yet  Too tempting to sell... But I did that 2 days ago and I ended up buying back at small loss, it just didn't go down  |

Why would you sell?
If you're in it since January (Not that long at all) you're up 500% already...
even if BTC goes down to $30 you're still making 200% or more on your money...
There is no reason to sell at all unless of course you need the USD for non BTC transactions.

Yeah, last time, when it nailed 60, it did just like now. It retracted a bit to 55, and sat quietly there until going up again...

If you sell, you will be sad.
If you like to be sad, then please sell.

I've sold my BTC during rallies... for LTC. But right now I feel no urge to trade BTC for fiat, same goes for vice versa. It's good just to watch. |

Yesterday I was tempted to sell at $55, because I thought that the 49->32 crash would happen again and it would go to 45. Nope... so then it hit 60 and I thought the same thing again, but it kept going. I'm really glad I held...

You know it's going to continue to go up, despite the occasional correction, so before selling, think if it's worth it to risk it. |

If you are in this for the long term, price fluctuations don't matter. These fireworks, flashy as they are, are too short-term to have anything to do with your investment.
If you are a day-trader with a strategy, that strategy is your sword and shield, and to the extent that you break from it, you are surrendering your profits.
If you are a day-trader without a strategy, nothing I can say will save you.
In an unpredictable market, emotion is your enemy.
Silence your gut and stick to the plan.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

do you know how much bitcoin went up once SR launched?, because an equivalent for LTC is online. |

I removed my hand from the trigger. I moved those BTC to another wallet that I put offline and made copies on USB and other places outside my house (double-encrypted with 15+ characters alphanumeric passwords) and removed from my computer. So they are safe from hazards and hacking too One should always have a backup at different places, and outside his home too (at least, different geographical locations). If something bad happen, you don't want your sole copy to be inside your computer or house... You know, anything can happen... PC frying, fire, electrical jolt/lightning blowing everything in the house, etc. |

Sell just enough to take one year vacation somewhere without internet. Then reassess.
