Instead of waiting for the price to hit 1k, why not use a small fraction of your bitcoins to grow? Something that you wouldn't bother if you hit a loss. In that way, you have a potential to earn more bitcoins instead of leaving them stagnant and just idle. Make your money work for you.

1k will take time and may be that day never comes but as you said we cannot keep our bitcoins stagnant it should be moving and rotating then only you can grow your bitcoins. And for that trading with bitcoins would be great thing to do.
