I watched Bitcoin for a long time before taking any action (check my registration date here). I decided finally that I wanted to use BTC as a currency and store of value and bought in for 85 through 120 USD. I now find myself day trading because it's the only option I have to try and retain value of my store (with respect to myself) besides praying that the price goes up.
And that's messed up. That's not a currency, it's an attempt at using a stock as a store of value.
The above doesnt really reflect the totality of how I feel about the Bitcoin project, but its a gimpse.
You should try and make use of your btc...it will save you time, you sleep better, etc. I used btc since 2012, it served my purposes then, serves me now, and hopefully will continue to do it. For people who actually started in bitcoin by using it, and not giving a f*ck about the exchange rate, it is clear that bitcoin is strong, and will not fail. Keep day-trading if you want, but you should think about something useful for the bitcoin economy, for example make things and sell them. (I am not saying to get rid of your investment obviously, keep it but try to make another investment to actually use and help build the bitcoin economy)
