(Against my better judgement) I decided to hold onto my 9.6(?) clams from my 2 claims and trade with them rather than cash out. I've almost doubled my clams, but I've still lost money, as the price has plummeted from .013 per to .005 per. Is there any reason for me to continue to hold?

We have a handful of solid services. The emphasis in the previous sentence is important.
Better a handful of solid services than hundreds worth little.
The vast majority (not all) of alternative "cryptos" have little behind the curtain.
We have been plodding along for over a year with significant improvements in the codebase.
We intend to continue doing so.
I am personally the most biased person in the room - so you will, of course, have to look elsewhere for market advice.
