This is sensible advice except for the sit on it part. I would rather convert it like yesterday into anything that is useful for storing value like gold, silver, jewelery, collector's items etc. Worth more than hashes on a digital wallet on some bit rotting flash drive. Of course, to do that you must first take it out of the exchange.
