It seems every time I find something that looks promising, I'm just a sucker waiting to give someone else a payout. I have been following advice a gentleman offered to "hodl" my bitcoin, from $984 all the way down to now $436. I've just been fooling myself, telling myself "Don't worry hon, it will go back up! It always has!" I've been spending my time reading the forums and hoping. My friends called me crazy when I told them it's a sure thing. The shame is just as bad as the lost money. So I quit. You guys win. Coins sold.

Selling now will end up with you having a sob story here about how you bought high, sold low and didn't have a chance to rebuy before another bitcoin rally:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163258.0Funny how the one most common regret in that topic is simply four words. "not holding my coins". You would think something as straightforward as holding should be easy but actually it is much harder than anything else

Fight off greed, self-righteousness, temptation, desperation, fear, anger, advice, begging, and just hold. This is the ultimate zen, as in a way of a mind free of emotions.
