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
Since Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, it is definitely wrong to think about getting rich quick here, I definitely agree with you, consistency and patience are very important in Bitcoin investment. It is normal for the results not to come in the beginning of the investment, rather after the investment, the price of Bitcoin may decrease due to instability, but that is the real test, during such instability, those who keep their mentality steady and think about buying more Bitcoin are the truly responsible Bitcoin investors. The Bitcoin market is very volatile in the short term, so you have to stay cool-headed here, and you have to continue accumulating Bitcoin while maintaining the continuity of your investment. But those who patiently move forward in small steps can ultimately achieve success, so the right mentality is very necessary to survive in this volatile market.
