Not to be a nit but this conversation really belongs in the "Investment" forum. On a personal level I don't see much point in worrying about its fluctuations or rushing to convert it. All poker cashouts are now in btc so if you play winning poker you're going to be handling it a lot and from an EV standpoint these things come out in the wash (or close to it) eventually. If you believe in the efficient market theory, you aren't losing money by holding it. If you don't, then get it onto poker sites or into your bank ASAP. But if you play a lot of poker, fretting about it is kind of pointless when there aren't other wdraw/deposit options available.
Excellent post, thank you for this.
On another note, I have an existing NY account on Carbon that I haven't touched in a while, do they still accept deposits from NY players? I'm not totally sure, but I thought I heard something before about Carbon not accepting deposits from NY players anymore.
