Patience can only be exercised if the person who is holding has other means to finance his daily expenses.

He won't wait longer to sell off his coins.
Bitcoin is a long-term investment and we can only make a profit if we can afford to hold it for the long term. And if you can't afford to keep it long term or you don't have another source of income, and you only rely on bitcoin to help you survive. Ideally, you should not invest in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick tool, nor is it an investment that gives you daily passive income. It is a highly profitable investment and the higher the profit, the higher the risk, let's not be so naive that we can get rich quickly through bitcoin investment.
