I agree with you and of course patience is also important when holding btc and indeed currently there is a lot of evidence that long term investment in btc is certainly always profitable and there are also many people who are successful because of holding their btc for the long term. and I am also amazed by people who have invested in btc from the past to the present and for those who have not sold it until now. What is truly unique about BTC is that up to now BTC has never harmed those who are strong enough to hold BTC for the long term.
In my opinion, it's more about commitment because in the end when we talk about patience then sometimes in some moments patience has a limit but when we do this with commitment then in the end this can be something more that we can do because in the end as long as the commitment we make reaches its goal then in the end we will definitely carry out the commitment.
So by looking at this, it is not too strange to see a lot of people who still survive in bitcoin even though they have been around since the early phase because they have a strong commitment to stay on their path by continuing to try to hold the bitcoin they have as a form of long-term investment made.
Precisely in this case we must be encouraged by the enthusiasm of people who were long before us but still maintain their btc until now as an example. Although in this case investing is not a competition, it cannot be denied that at this time whoever is strong is the one who will survive.
