It’s not easy to keep patience for a long time. We will want to see market conditions all the time. We will always pay attention to the price of the coins we have purchased. The best way to hold it is to uninstall the APP after purchase and not pay attention to any software.
Yes long term hold is difficult if we are monitoring the market from time to time. Continuous dump for a week will surely make us worry. But if we ignore the markt and believe on the coin that we are holding, we can make the long term hold easy. My friend did it. Her small amount of bitcoin left from her earning in 2017 was still on her wallet right now. I don't until when she will hold it but knowing the difference of btc price in 2017 and 2018, she already gained a lot.
