I have been asking myself this.

     I really don't plan to sell mine unless a mad frenzy occurs again, and only if I were to be certain the market would relax again. I could also envision myself selling my coins were I to fall into a tough financial situation. Other than that, my BTC are here to stay. Even taking into account the price volatility, I still consider bitcoin to be a better and more convenient "store of value" than just about anything else.

     What about you? We are all in in this for different reasons. What would cause you to sell your coins?

     I don't consider myself a crackpot. Austrian economics bother me; blow-hard libertarianism bothers me even more. I realize that the bitcoin "community" is ridiculed from time to time for being so viciously loyal to its namesake currency and its dream of global economic upheaval. Generally, I am cautious to associate myself with anything that emits a crackpot-esque vibe. Still, even after the ridiculous amount time I have spent on this forum, I have yet to discover any reason why bitcoin could necessarily not be the currency of our grandchildren. So thus far, I'm sold. And I'm here for the long haul.
