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
Having the petience and timing in selling altcois is always a big profit or income but other holders can't help but panic especially if the markets dip but you do it in a way so as not to have big losses you can swap the your altcoins or sales and select the usdt token and rebuy only if the price falls to make a profit in case the price goes up.
Holding crypto coins and patiently waiting for so long even after listing is not a guaranty for earning massive profits the hodlers need some knowledge especially in charting analysis and TA to enable them to sell at the appropriate time there are indicators like RSI that will signal oversold and overbought zones which will help or enable a trader or hodler to sell when the need arises, price of cryptos always pump and dump thus creating opportunity to sell at high take a profit before a bullback or correction of the price.
