I personally think it takes balls of steel to sell at any time.

The chances of just never getting to buy back are too great.

Here. Not phased.  Although it's not that tough if you're super long, and ROI already over 10,000%.

Titles like the one of this thread starts showing up when the panic is widespread Cry It's the first stage of grief.

All I can say is that I have been there. Eons ago I had over a thousand coins.

And boy I miss having so many coins which I sold in fear to "take profit" during bubble pops. Not even because of their fiat value now, hadn't I sold them. What I miss is the feeling of being part of an elite. Because now I know that with the earnings of my job I will never ever be able to have over a thousand coins again.

I wish I was able to really guess the dips and profit from them so that I could multiply my coins. But I suck at trading.
I have great hopes for wider merchant adoption though. I dream of being paid for my job in btc and to be able to pay all my bills and grocery in btc, while converting into fiat only at need.


I have learnt not to trade BTC/USD - I lose more often than I win.

Try trading LTC/BTC instead.

If it drops to single digits I may think of selling, taking a tidy profit.  Cheesy

The chances of just never getting to buy back are too great.

It's called a calculated risk. Risk losing a few % by buying back higher, vs nearly doubling your coins by buying back after a crash. The upside is bigger than the downside. Though like any gamble you don't risk more than you're willing to lose.

Of course, it's too late to sell out *now*.

Held through the April bubble and holding now. Never sold a single Satoshi for fiat. Spent some coins to support the economy. Now I'm enjoying the ride and happy to see cheaper coins. Maybe now my friends will buy some after all. Many of them are intrigued but think the price is too high and that they have "missed the boat".

It's all bullshit. But bullshit makes the flowers grow and that's beautiful.

Took profit selling 3 btc at 1100$ that I made dumping MEC on greedy newbs, so now my initial investment is returned to me and my stash of btc is increased. The rest is my ticket to ride the rollercoaster and my balls are now enameled in steel.

I hope you guys can catch the bottom.
nobody ever catches the exact bottom or exact top, you just got to sell when optimism is high and buy when despair is all around, makee sense?

This. I got out about $50 short of the top (which was better than I thought it was going to be), and I'll probably buy in $100-150 above the bottom after it starts going back up.

I may not be the most efficient at playing the entire swing, but I take a nice chunk out of each one and put it in my pocket. That's enough for me.
