Bitcoin as a digital asset has taught me that patience is the key.
It could be true, it could be not like that. Many people find success in the crypto world, but they didn't just rely on their patience to achieve it. There are other things like the power of their influence, their financial strategies, the investment techniques they use, and so on. The key is not just patience... if patience were the key, those who have been in crypto for a long time should be richer than CZ or Elon Musk (when he started his first tweets about Bitcoin and crypto).
There are many other factors to achieve success with bitcoin, and patience is not the only key.. it's a part of the key. I agree more with your statement that monitoring prices won't increase wealth... we have to buy it.
