Thanks for the kind remarks and to everyone else for their valued input.
Thought I'd let everyone know I cashed out ~$400 worth and left roughly $150 to let it ride.
I made this decision based upon the holidays coming up and $400 would help out quite a bit.
However, I'm excited to see the $150 appreciate some nice value
While $500 was a decent amount of BTC to hold I would have holded it for a few months to let it rise. You should have holded the money if you were able to afford the expenses from your fiat amount. Who knows, the $500 you had could have turned into $1000 in a few months. The $150 you hold now just turn into $300 if the above scenario came true. Though $150 is an average amount to hold it would have made a big difference with the $500 as the larger amount, the larger profit.
