For investing in cryptocurrencies. Patience is indeed very important. I feel that the premise here is that the project you choose must have potential. It's worth your patience. Otherwise it won't be worth your time. 
but patient choices that are not followed by proper planning will also kill our assets. especially for assets from new projects.You can see several new projects develop in just 1-2 years. after development, they disappear and the value of the assets in the market is definitely destroyed. many tokens already on the exchange are destroyed after several years of being on the exchange. patience is not always a crypto investment solution.
