Really it all depends on your perspective of the future. If you believe Steemit provides real value to users and has the potential to grow to the likes of Facebook and Twitter, then you should hold onto Steem and Steempower as equity. If you don't believe Steemit has the ability to grow since everybody is abusing the system, then you should trade your crypto for USD.

Also, it really depends if you need short term cash too. There are many other factors that need deep consideration for a seemingly simple binary event.

At the end of the day, it really all depends on what you want.
