There are two perspectives to this situation and it depends on the individual's choice and what aligns the most with him.
1. One is as you said, he can take a gamble by holding the fun tokens and if luck strikes then he can get a better return.
2. You can sell now so that you can at least get something in return for the tokens because the price is likely to get to 1 satoshi and so something is better than nothing.
If I were in uneng position then I would go with the second option.
I would probably do the same as what you suggest. But there will be some thoughts about it that rather than selling at totally not good and considerable amount and lesser profit.
I'd rather take the loss and deal with it and forget about it. I don't know about other people but maybe that's one thing that they are thinking of instead of getting something still out of it.
But it's a good choice to sell to get still some remembrance even the lowest to just liquidate it.
I think it is abundantly clear that the token trend is towards 0, however much they may have some spikes as recently but they are clearly a dead cat bounce. So, to each his own with what he does with his money but in this case I agree with you, if I were in that situation I would choose option 2.
