It is always the key even in life, but in this field  being patient can get you more rewards than being impatient. Like in bounties you can get coins with your effort and patience. But mostly patience is used in investing because you have towait and keep track of your coins value. When the value of your coins reached your preferred value can take a lot of patience. Especially when the market goes down. When that happens do not panitc and wait for it to go back up.
