To have patience is fine, but no patience is not enough when you can see your altcoins falling lower. People lose credibility to many altcoins and sell their altcoins at low prices..Maybe they'll regret it in the future.
People can jump into altcoins in any time because their price are going down and down. Even best altcoins loss in price, but it is temporary. Next year will be altcoins time again.
I would not be too confident again, I will just wait until altcoins will finally have its rally.
What I can agree with you is on the price of altcoins getting cheaper, I like that as that gives us more opportunity to buy cheap but instead of expecting altcoins will recover soon, I would just calmly hold and just wait until the entire market will be healthy again.
This year, the recovery of bitcoin is still not full, so I don't expect a big positive result to the market, maybe next year, maybe the following year we will see altcoins pumping again but we can assure that, let's just continue to believe and hold and accumulate if we still can.
