i'd not necessarily cash out in the sense of selling btc for fiat, but i sure as hell would spend some, even if that required conversion to fiat. i mean, house, car, more mining hardware...

i don't post much, but this space for rent.

$1M should be enough to run away and hide (if that is what you want). I saw a nice property in Central America that would cost 1/10 of that.
The real question would be cash out into what, not when. Anybody got a tax-free, no-questions-asked exit strategy?

There really is no reason to "cash out". If you want to pay for something (goods, services, paying off debt) and you can't using BTC then selling enough BTC to pay for it indirectly is an option.
I have had my eye on a boat for a while. I doubt many boat dealers will be taking Bitcoins anytime soon. If the exchange rate went up enough I would gladly sell some of my coins to buy the boat I wanted. To cash out just to hold cash? I wouldn't do that at $1M, $100M $1B, $1T. Why? To hold paper which becomes worth less and less every year.
I would prefer to buy assets directly (BTC -> asset) but if I can't indirectly works too (BTC -> USD -> asset).
Are you still mining? Congrazt D&T, you deserved this wealth. |

When I have enough to pay off my house with 50% of my holdings, I will cash out that 50%.
Cash out at $1M is good idea, but into US Dollar is bad idea.
These. I'm not 100% certain that Bitcoin will last as long as I will, and would love to get my family out of debt before a possible bitcoin crash. But I don't want to sell them all, in the off chance Bitcoin DOES revolutionize the world economy. But I'm just as doubtful of the USD, so I'd probably diversify into stocks and commodities. |

Cash out to what? Maybe gold if you want to diversify, but if bitcoin hits the 1M mark it's because fiat currencies are becoming totally worthless.

Sure, gold, becoming debt-free, buying a nice house, purchasing up rental properties, whatever. I know I certainly won't be keeping my money in USD, but buying $1M worth of rental property with cash is a rather attractive proposition. |

If it hit $1m I would probably only turn anything into USD if I needed USD for some odd reason.

I like that the majority trust in bitcoin more than in fiat.
That's correct. If you cash out you just need to pay a lot of taxes and answer a lot of unpleasant questions.
Better if you keep it and cash out only what you need.

My 1 million dollars of tomorrow is only buying $990,000 today. No thanks! I'll stick with the coin.

Couldn't you create a hip website, then make a competition to win $$$, then make yourself win. Winnings aren't taxable. Correct me if I'm wrong. Surly this can't work? |

The millionaires will hoard coins till their last breath.
Why cash out? So we can be paying taxes? College loan debt? And have higher rent? The smartest thing to do is never cash out. Just buy and become part of the Bitcoin economy permanently. Start working for or running businesses which accept Bitcoin. |

If it hit $1M then it means bitcoin is the currency of the world, and that there would be nothing to cash it out, everything would be traded in bitcoin  I don't think he means an exchange rate of $1,000,000 USD per BTC but rather if someone personal holdings were worth $1M. Like if you had $1M worth of gold would you sell the gold? How exactly would you even determine your personal holdings? If 1 BTC isn't worth 1 million then it's hard to know how much an entire persons holdings are worth when you have alt currencies, and Bitcoin cryptostocks, and the mining. |

It was an individual question. You don't know how much YOUR Bitcoins are worth? No problem send me your wallet.dat by email and I will email you when your Bitcoins are worth $1M. Problem solved. |

I was working on a BTC<->AU (gold) Market.
You send in gold or buy shares from others to create a gold balance (shares represented in grams) on the exchange, and trade like normal 1 gram to .33 BTC or whatever.
The gold idea is great! Bitcoins in exchange for gold and vice versa. |

A million dollars isn't what it used to be.
You said that from your experience or what? Do you have 1M$ ? |

Hmm well lets think... Suppose when bitcoins hit $15 a while ago, that was your million dollars point. Would you cashed out? If you did/had, how would you / did you feel now that bitcoins are well over $200, maybe likely to hit $500 soon, and looking more and more certain to be way over $1000 by the end of the year (if not far sooner, like by the end of the summer...)  On the other hand, I do want to buy some good well built low power consumption ASICs...  -MarkM- |

I'm not sure I will ever cash out.
My notion is that I haven't really bought into BTC, so I'll ride this wave with my (few) Bitcoins as long as they're viable. If they die, I'm okay with that as I haven't invested heavily in them.
It's a hobby to me, at this point.
