Not all do have that kind of patience that we do commonly talk on. Most of us do really like to see profits on a short time frame. For those new investors who are already aware on the previous scenario that happened into bitcoins price or any other altcoins in the market then this would mark out into their minds on how risky this kind of investment and thats why its being advised for a thousand times that only use up on the money that we can afford to lose. About on coin investment always secure out into top ones.
Actually, cryptocurrency can provide benefits in the long term or in the short term. I say like this, because I see the movement price of cryptocurrency per year. Someone will benefit long term if he has patience, as you said before. This method does require high patience, it takes money it really can be on the move just like that. I'm sure in the next few years a person's investment will increase if HODL remains the asset he has.
