Bitcoin always looks tough at the earlier stage which if you are not courageous enough to keep pushing consistently you may end up giving up upon yourself but I'm here to encourage anyone or any newbies that has newly joined the forum should never give up because not good come easily.
Life is full of challenges so for you to get to the top all newbies should pick up the challenges and never to give up but try his possible best in building up his Bitcoin portfolio.
Since Bitcoin investments is all about futures investments all newbies should never be in hurry or think that will just joined Bitcoin today and tomorrow the will start making profit out of it, that mindset should be removed from the newbies because Bitcoin is not what you should be in a hurry but take it step by step and you will surely get to the top of it and enjoy in the years to come.
Just like what you pointed out "consistency" this is very important if you are thinking of getting results in Bitcon. A lot of people start investing in Bitcoin and hope it would make them rich in a short time, this is common with most beginners. Bitcoin investment is a gradual process, it might not make you financially stable within the first few months but overtime you would hit your target if only you can be patient
