Bitcoin is the gateway currency. One hit and you're hooked. Soon you'll be merge mining Namecoin. You'll be trading Litecoin. Before long you'll be jonesing for IXCoin because the high just isn't enough. To the OP: Yes you should definitely go cold turkey before you OD on... SolidCoin!

No, this decision was made by me and me only.  I was only able to become so involved with bitcoin because my only real work being a part time IT manager and a freelance web developer.  Unfortunately, this is no longer going to be the case, and I felt it best to free myself up to focus on my future.

Keep your bitcoins offline. You know, cold storage, paper wallet, whatever. When you're in London, you can sell it there to someone. By that time, you'd double or triple what it was worth.

Or send it to everyone who posted here, divided as you see fit. I'm a nobody, but if you're leaving bitcoin, help a newbie out? (This is how I got twinked in an online game a long time ago, someone was leaving, and I was the lucky Level 1 character in the same area that inherited Level 50 equipment.)

Thanks.

P.S. I can sign a contract that says "Don't touch my bitcoins until 10 years from now, but we'll split it then when I get back."

Then I will destroy every computer that has the private key after printing it on paper, engrave it on stone or something, then hiding it in a hole. I live in Asia, in a third world country, with a battalion of armed guards/soldiers. I have a wife and a kid, so I'm not going anywhere. Your bitcoins are safe with me.

Bitcoin is the future. If you want to build a great future, dont quit Bitcoin it will be a misstake.
Take a break and come back with new energy in a couple of months when price has doubled.

I am going to distribute all of my bitcoin assets to people I feel helped me get to the position I am at.


Was an announcement necessary?  lol

Yes, it was.  I owe it to the parties involved in the deals I have partaken in and to the shareholders of the GLBSE asset which I co-operate with Smickles.  I can't just get up and leave without letting people know what's happening, why it is, and how I plan to deal with it.
