You must have a source of income if you must succeed in your holdings.
For the few years I have been into cryptocurrency, I have discovered that you can't hold till the right time if your don't have a source of income. Just imagine that you have a pressing basic needs like feeding or rent, then you don't have money to finance it, you will be forced to sell your Bitcoin at a loss if you don't have a source of income outside your holdings.
Most people that have sold their Bitcoin holdings at a loss or at an average price actually have the patience but don't have the knowledge of how to hold, because a good holder must be aware that he needs a source of income for him to be able to consolidate to his holdings.
It has happened to me severally, I have been able to hold now, since I started working as a merchandiser with Guinness, I think most times, experience is the best teacher.
The truth stand that once you have made up mind In any investment to sustain it without falling half way, provision for unforseen circumstances must be put in place, over dependant on your investment shout be keep outside. Others source of income should be properly in place even if just small scale business that can handle your daily feeding responsibility. Some of the study I have undergo shows that any lacking such will find it difficult of becoming a long holder.
