My question is.. what do you think? Its a decent chunk of money for me to just hope something keeps rising, do you think I should "let it ride" or cash out and just be happy with ~$500?
In my opinion, if you have 0.03 BTC in your hand then you should earn more BTC for your own forum. There are many ways to earn BTC that are involved in signature campaigns, social campaigns and bounty campaigns on this forum. And I advise if you have more BTC, you should hold up next year to be able to double the profit compared to the current. If you sell 0.03 BTC for the next year you will regret it.
