Patience is a key factor that needs to be understood and we need to deposit it in our mind before we deposit any money on any exchanges or anything where we are willing to invest. Let me tell you my own scenario and you decide whether I am a patient Bitcoiner or not.
I used to get more than 0.1 BTC a month at times when the value was less than $500, but I always sold them off to support my brother in maintaining the expenses we used to incur at home. There were times we saved, there were times we spent, but Bitcoin always remained there to be the most important part of our life. After that, when the value started increasing, I started to save and only sell when emergencies arrived. Still, I have few coins left and now I know that holding gives bigger rewards than selling off in panic. I believe that sometimes, it's not us but circumstances that make us sell them.
