During my early days in the crypto industry I struggle to hodl crypto asset because I am naturally impatient person, of a truth I struggle to hodl, I mostly sell my asset at a loss.
One thing I observe is that the moment I sold. it at a loss, not quite long, the crypto asset start appreciating in price .
It got to a point I almost quit, the only thing that makes me not to quit is i believe that quiter are for failures.
This is not just your case but everyone who is a newbie has a record of such incidents in their lives because when I was a newbie, I couldn't hold on to the coins I bought as advised by experienced people and later sold those coins at huge losses. If you are buying some coins for long term then definitely be patient because without patience there will be no progress.
My advice to every newbie out there, without patience you cannot be successful in crypto.
@OP, absolutely right, all those who want to get into the crypto market or already have to have patience first. Because patience is essential to survive here. But you will be most profitable if you trade. Because if you trade, you get coins very quickly and have to sell them. Still you need to be patient for good altcoins.
