When I was still a newbie to crypto many people told me to keep holding and that's all I did for many years and in the end I ended up with many dead coins, whenever I keep seeing people talking about patience as if it's the only thing a newbie need I always shake my head, the fact is you need more than patience to get good results from projects, having patience sometimes will get you nothing
You choose wrong coins so is not fault y any one else with said patient is everything in cryptocurrency and become the key to be success, you should with some coin if you want to buy how many exchange listing, which one big exchange list with your coin investing, if you buy good and potential coin is worth and hold several years later make you rich.
