I never bothered and my friend cashed out not long ago, still made a decent chunk from it. For the record they were valued at $15 each at the start of the year. So if you bought them then, you're still earning a decent interest if you sell today.

Was reading a forum post from 2011 that a guy paid for 2 pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. They would be worth $2.5 Million if he had kept them and cashed out yesterday.

jake, keep an eye out on how any dividends (if applicable) on your ETF are reinvested. are you looking to try and track or invest in anything in particular?

I'm really very new to ETFs and basically need to read up on it, so I don't really know yet.
Just know that my savings are going to waste being in a bank account at the moment :/

Ideally I'd just stick it in a fairly safe one that returns about 10-15% ?

It's cheaper to buy stocks in an index which most ETFs follow anyway. Also you probably won't get 10-15% unless you take a more risky one.
