All of these stories involve holding coins for long amounts of time. I ask if any of us have this patience
Yes i do agree i don't have patience to wait this long . Really appreciate people who had that patience and keep this long and became millionaire . may be this story inspiration for lots of people .
You can do it if you do not check it all the time. Buy some cheap altcoins, store it in a safe wallet and check the price only once a year. You will not be tempted to dump it and if it gets successful, you have a good profit in the end of the year.
Focusing for what youre goal is so you can have that patience no matter what or how long it is. It can be a long term goal. Congrats for having that patience you deserve that.
