Some people got lucky and invested at the right time. But the problem is that they might see just 1.5x profit or 2x profit and think they are okay with it but what if the asset keeps increasing. This happened with bitcoin when it falls to $15500. Some people could have solved when it got to $25000/$30000. Not knowing it will go above $100000. You are not wrong that patience is important in investing. But also knowledge and experience are important in investment.
