if you have too much patience with some projects you can lose everything though. Don't let the patience blind you, sometimes it is good to sell early than to regret your decision later. The fact is that you always need to follow the market in order to make a smart decision.
This is what many investors tend to forget, everybody keep saying hodl, be patient but forgetting that all these are mere hopes and there is no guarantee that the coin will go up. They are a lot of coins that are have been below their ICO price with no sign of them ever reaching the ICO price not to talk of getting higher than that.
