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
LOL, people telling you to hodl and you obeyed? In crypto sphere you are completely on your own, you can't hold anyone for what ever losses you incur, that's why you have to research and take decisions by yourself like a man, about the topic I think you're getting it all wrong patience is everything in crypto, it takes quite some time for coins to grow to a significant amount, for instance those who bought bitcoin in 2011 and held till now, do you think they would agree with you?, just hold coins that actually have a future not coins that are just around for short term.
