#2Makes you wonder what triggers people have for themselves to sell their 'stash'. 10 fold increases in a year won't last for very long.

One of the posters says the feds will shut it down. I also thought this too. This remains one of the most enduring mysteries of Bitcoin to me. Why has the government taken such a hands off approach?

There's a FOMO narrative of "$1,000,000 BTC if it goes mainstream" going around which has fuelled speculative investments from some people I know (myself included - obviously using money I am totally OK with losing given how far-fetched an outcome it is).

Meh. Bitcoin has seen 5 or 6 years with 10 fold increases.

One trigger to sell is when you have enough to retire. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are creating a lot of millionaries. Probably more than startups and in a shorter time. Can't back up this, it is based on how many rich people exist around me in this field (where I also work) vs. friends struggling to make their companies scale even if they are doing well at a tiny scale.
