I've recently just sold all my BTC, whilst the hype is still there :) A few friends said I was mad and they would be keeping theirs, but frankly I don't have time to keep an eye on the market and wait for the true peak. Which made me think of a problem; BTC's are really a speculative market at the moment, rather than a currency (i.e. most people are buying them to trade, not to purchase items). I feel like that defeats the object. But, hey, it was a tidy profit.
