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
the mistake you are doing is not choosing the right type of coin that you have been holding for a long time, if you choose the type of coin that will be invested for a long time, such as the top ten coins that have been trusted have a high trading volume, of course now you can reap the benefits of patience that you have been doing.
