This is the reason for all the point about patience that you have listed. Having to put all your hope to be rich from bitcoin investment is a wrong idea.  You have to ask yourself question before you start to put your patience to taste on the small Satoshi you have invested. First, ask yourself how much investment in bitcoin are you hodling to expect your financial status to change? To invest and expect such, you should at least have a reasonable percentage in bitcoin this is the fact to consider. Example if you have a bitcoin at the current price of $28,000 then you expect double of it when price get to $56,000 and triple of it when price get to $84,000 and likewise when you have only invested 0.005btc initially. Therefore it only depends on your investment strength and not just the expectation of increase.
