Yes, HODL'ing is nonsense. But no, I would never cash out in order to make a shallow buck. I don't care about profit period; that's my point. I care about buying things. The only valid reason to possess a currency is due to the products and services that the currency can purchase. I insist on taking responsibility for determining the value of my own currency. I refuse to let exchange rates and speculation affect my decisions.

Of course, there is nothing I want to buy with Bitcoin, so I don't actually have any cryptocurrency at the moment. It's a bit of a shame, but I'm not going to pretend to be sorry for my choices.
