Who's a Full Owner and not going to jump ship?

[Lauda]

Shoot... I remember a year ago it was like $5.00/each. 
People said it was maxed and would not go any higher.

Then it hit $20.00 a piece.
$50, $100, $200, back to $100, and now look.

Where will it be in another year? 

~ $1000
and after the block reward halving in 2016 (I think) it will be much higher.

I'm holding to when I can shop for groceries with it.

I am with rabbit on this one... I have quite a few BTC to make me... happy.
There is no way I am letting them go.

I would love to see BTC integrated into retail and grocery shops... and I truly believe it will happen.
Look at the pub that accepts FTC! 

In the US we can put BTC onto gift cards and go to Walmart and get groceries.  I have not done it yet though.  I am holding on my coin for as long as possible.  Especially with rises like today.  Who know where it will go.  Granted, it will probably drop at some point too but it is looking good right about now. 

Yeah it did drop last night from $368, just woke up and it's $345 but starting to rise again.  At least on the mtgox graph.  But I suppose it's expected as the twitchers sell at the first instance of a drop.

I'll sell when it's worth around 1 mil.

The problem is that when 1 BTC = 1 million USD then 1 million USD may buy you a car (maybe)

Or a cup of coffee like in the weimar republic when they had to take a suitcase of money to eat at a restaurant.

No and no.
You can exchange it into some other more valued currency anyways.

no one has allegiance to Bitcoin  . Only what Bitcoin can do for them. This is our nature.

If we could buy apples at $1 and sell them a week later for $5 that's were our focus would be. People only want to exploit bitcoin for what is can do for them. I do not think people have any real sentimental attachment toward Bitcoin

I'm pretty sure it's possible, somewhere.

Okay, to rephrase- I'm saving for when I can buy groceries, anywhere.

Nobody wants to buy BTC from me, so maybe they'll sell vehicles and real estate I want for it someday when BTC is >$999 and stably so.

He probably meant at a local scale.

"If it got to 100$/minicoin" is visions of sugarplums. It's a distraction.

I have a stash of BTC, not because I think the price will someday reach X, but because I think that someday I will be able to buy vegetables with it (as others have put it). More to the point, I think that someday my friends will be able to buy groceries or pay rent with it, and have that not be a crazy thing for them, and so I'll be able to buy their artwork with it in the kind of trade that we'd use PayPal for today. I'm waiting for it to be, maybe a little weird, maybe a little uncommon, but useful on the street at about the acceptance levels of a Discover card or something. That's when we'll have truly arrived, and barring an urgent need for liquidity, it's what I'm aiming for: not to sell my stash, but to spend it.

Current money or bust.
