You would not succeed unless you get make profit on your investment. And buying something and waiting for 10s of years to book a profit is not patience but stupidity. Value of money decreases over time.
Value of money may decrease over time but definitely not the value of cryptos. Hope you understand the differences. We must learn the way on how to be patience with our crypto investments from Mr Satoshi. He's still holding his early days' bitcoins and why not we also should be following him for making maximum profits. I don't think anything will be wrong in holding for 10 years. Because, cryptos are working in that they then we also should work similar to that.
patience is the key factor to success in every where someone find him or he self based on my understanding. It is very essential to believe someone would surely make it happen based on the patience.
But, being patience is not possible for most of the people here and that is the main reason why we are having crypto markets fallen up to the bleeding level which is what we are experiencing right now. If people are patience enough then they would not have dumped to this level.
