This might be real.

Or this might be a speculative bubble.

I can't tell Sad

I have 3 BTC that i bought below 55.

If I sell now, and the price comes crashing down, I could end up with 5, maybe even 6 BTC!

But will it?

Odds are that, yes, the price is going to come crashing down.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

If you need fiat then sell. If not then keep. I suspect your life would not crash if you kept 3BTC in your wallet?

It is expected that only 0.003 BTC will be available per human being on this planet. As such it would be only fair if you sell some of your hoard. There are other people who need Bitcoin too. So do the right thing and sell some.

well, we could also drastically reduce the number of humans available so we have more bitcoins per person. the historic average durign the middle ages would be 42 bitcoins per human.

This is a good point. I put my BTC in a cold wallet that's never seen the internet so that it would be harder to sell. That's because I think it's going to become mainstream.

I should stay disciplined, not sell, and just buy more if the price dips.

DISCIPLINE!

I cashed out a small portion of my coin last night. That said, if I only had 3, I would probably hold on and enjoy the ride. As many have stated, bitcoin is a currency, but it is also a movement, one I plan on being a part of during good times and bad.

My suggestion is that sell a portion of your coins if you are torn about the situation. Don't sell everything but holding everything is not necessarily the best plan either.

It is going up day after day after day. This may be a speculative bubble, but is is not by any one investor. It is going to be a massive expansion. The speculation however, may not keep up with adoption and may just instead turn into actual growth. It all depends on the feedback loop.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I think when we're talking about 3 BTC, holding may be the best plan as well.

Also, has OP looked into actually SPENDING btc? Might be worth their while...

If you are really risk-aversive, sell half of you BTCs, and put the fiats you get on loan.

If I sell now…
If you want to sell, then suggest to buy some coffee, chocolate or a bitcoin magazine subscription. converting back to fiat will only kill the fun for you.

No. It means sell a kidney for BTC.

I sold 20 BTC at $79 thinking it would fluctuate a bit more before hitting $80. I came into work the next day and it was at $88.

I bought back in. I have 2 less Bitcoin than I used to.

How many Bitcoin do you want to lose?

I am fortunate that I only sold 20. I took most of my BTC off of the exchange when it was at $60.
