Even then, what if 0.01 XBT is worth $100 someday? It will have seemed foolish to have turned it off so early.

You won't feel nearly as foolish as when you realize how much you would have made if you had just bought and held bitcoins directly.

Not necessarily true at all. When buying something outright there is greater psychological pressures to sell on price fluctuations. Don't get me wrong, mining has it's own siren song with hardware addiction, which I discuss on another thread, but had I bought at $230 rather than plugged in a miner I probably would have sold at $600 or so. Psychology of investing is much more complicated than profits, as Mises said, "In retrospect, all fools become wise."
