I think it's not just a matter of patience as the coins you are referring to are really well known in this space, but not everyone approaches it and believes in the future. An easy strategy will make the investment safe and give better returns. I personally think a few criteria, like how they operate in this space and how they solve problems, will help. Of course, popular names such as ETH, BNB, DOT, and so on are profitable for those who believe.
It is understandable, I mean not really understandable but it is like something we got used to at this point. Like for so long I have seen people that got too impatient and sold and then as soon as they sell the price goes up.
They do not get "why" it goes up as soon as they sell, they wait for many years and then the moment they sell it goes up. Solution? Don't sell? I mean simple as that, if you sell then eventually you will miss it go up, just don't sell, keep holding it and eventually it will either go high, or it won't and you will either make a profit or you won't but there is no missing out possibility in that case. Why can't they see it? Don't know, but too many people do that.
