For me, patience is a big thing. It's easy to forget that crypto is still so young and I've still doubled if not tripled my investment
That's a wrong way of looking at blockchain! Blockchain is a technology and crypto is a use-case of blockchain, so one should not judge blockchain by its monetary value. The reach and impact of blockchain is far beyond the reach of cryptocurrency. Even the article says the same things as the first point under "patience",
With the current state of the market, people tend to resort to the price valuation of crypto as a gauge of how blockchain is doing. However, this past year featured more adoption across a variety of industries, including supply chain management, economics, and energy resources. Remaining optimistic about the state of blockchain will only help this revolutionary technology flourish.
Believe in the technology and not in the price! That's an investor's job to measure the monetary value who would invest in this technology to scale up his business and that's how it should be measured. Cryptos are just a mare use-case and nothing else!
I think crypto is great and we've focused on price speculation for the most part. Great read imo written by a legit project to be watching
