I would keep it. There's just some lessons better learned with personal experience. I know it would be selfish, and I know it's probably not the right thing to do. But I'm keeping those 50BTC, maybe give some of it charity.
So... how far are we away from increasing the block size? Because it looks like a majority wants a block size increase. We're just arguing by how much we're going to increase the block size, right? The increase isn't that urgent, but I think that getting it out of the way before it becomes an issue is the best way to go. Imagine just starting to use bitcoin, and all your transactions take a day or more if you don't include a big miner's fee? It could be really bad for bitcoin adoption.
I asked a cousin of mine to help me by looking into bitcoin. I think I have a good handle on bitcoin, I understand the basics. I don't really need help understanding bitcoin, but getting her to look into it and understand it on her own is much better than trying to sit her down and explain it all to her.
