Being patient with Bitcoin will not be a problem if the goal is clear and it is for better profit at a time when Bitcoin price gets better. So making incremental purchases at a time when Bitcoin is at its lowest is still a very viable option for everyone to do because it is a very good job. And it's also natural that some of the predictions don't say about the exact time because they are also humans who always find it difficult to make any decisions for the future.
In the long run it's fine and I don't doubt it. It seems like most people are starting to notice and know what they should do with their bitcoin. The main condition is not to invest more money that you can't afford to lose, which means you have to invest in an amount that you can afford to lose.
I don't expect much in the short term as the price may still drop further, but I am inclined to believe that in the next 2 years the bitcoin price will pass the previous ATH at $69K. A good target is profit in the long term, but I don't mind if they are able to make a profit in the short term.
