I've read some talk about $2K-$3K. And what about LTC?

I wouldn't look at a price so much as an event: i.e. when an ETF launches and the public can more easily get into bitcoin... That's when things will really take off. |

Never? I'm in this for the long run, everybody who has sold out so far has regreted it just a few months later.

My criteria has, and always will be, where I feel the industry is going.
If I feel infrastructure is still being built, merchants are still adding it to their stores, conferences are being held in various countries, and new news is coming out (thanks Google news for keyword specific article feeds) ...
Then I will continue to hold.
When I feel the industry is stagnating, or beginning to decline, then I will cash out.
This bewilders all my friends and colleagues to no end.

My plan is to sell half my BTC holdings if it allows me (subtracting due capital gains taxes of course) to buy a (nice) flat/house to live in, since that's something I've planned to do already some time. I'll hold the other half as further investment. (Note that it still needs a good increase for this condition to be fulfilled, unfortunately. But it will come, I'm sure!  ) |

Never. Use them to buy the stuff you need directly. There are enough merchants by now and even more will come. So no need to exchange them yourself.

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Merchants who, for the most part, sell useless gimmicks... I can't buy groceries, or petrol, or pay rent with BTC. They're the only things I really care about, and they're all a looooong way off accepting BTC as payment. |

We are on the verge of some major online and offline retailers accepting btc. When that happens, your landlord won't be too far off. |

Well said, I'm in that boat. I'ts just not worth it to disregard LTC IMO. There will always be those who doubt but the price has shown LTC can be a good investment. |

I'll hold the other half as further investment. (Note that it still needs a good increase for this condition to be fulfilled, unfortunately. But it will come, I'm sure! ) I think a variation on this makes a lot of sense. It is pointless to set an arbitrary price target as bitcoin is a deflationary currency. I'm fairly new, but even I can remember people thinking 100 per BTC was a huge amount and a great sell target. Unless something really bad happens the basic trend of bitcoin will be up. So if you need to sell for something, e.g. buy a house, pay your rent, then by all means sell. If you want to take a little BTC off the table and cash it in, why not, but don't make it a binary all in or all out choice, sell 10% of your coins and see what happens. While these have been an amazing few weeks there is no shame in wanting to sell some of your coins but it's not an all or nothing choice. |

It was so much easier than trying to get fiat off the exchange. |

Same here...I have the CAVirtex debit card.
Sell a coin (or less than one) throw the money onto the card....spend at will like a regular debit card.
I also bought a trip for two this winter to somewhere warm for me and my wife...it cost me a weeks mining, meh.
When you get a little more comfortable you tend to spend a bit...there is no sense in not enjoying some of this new found wealth.

That's why I specified "half" above.  (This is my current plan, at least, although maybe it will change depending on how quickly we reach that point.) |
