I get your point about patience and not to sell our coin, but have you been faced with a very difficult situation, let’s say health situations and all you have to do is choose between your health and your coin?(I hope to see your answer pretty soon)
I believe patience is good but discipline is paramount when investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large and when we talk about discipline, it’s not just about holding but is about how disciplined you are before investing(this has to do it, investing the right money at the right time), when holding and even after selling(for the right purpose)
Discipline plays a major role.
It's not a tough situation for an investor that's hodling bitcoin cause before you even go into it, you must divide your income into different portions like emergency funds, discretionary funds and so, the discretionary fund is the funds basically for investment it maybe be 40 or 50% of your income of even higher or lesser.
Now for situations like Health issues, accidents any all kinds of uncertain events that could happen in future, that's where the emergency funds come in so take note of that dear, Bitcoin investment is not as tough as anyone thinks you just need to understand the concepts and follow it diligently then everything would fall in place and even your health issues won't be an issue is your emergency fund is intact to cover up for it.
