Exactly patient pay more than hype chasing, I have once followed hype or chased hype before and gest what it didn't end well for me I lost all my funds till date. So as a beginner who is just coming into this crypto space I will advise you just focus on the ongoing buying of bitcoin until you accumulate a good portion of bitcoin and then hold for long term 4 to 10 years or longer, instead wasting your time, energy and resources buy altcoins (shitcoins) that are no store of value with potential returns like bitcoin.
Good advise dude and bad experience, although the experience you had, is what happens when newbies arent ready to learn or keep to the rules but one thing we must know is that thing like this will continue to happen because some newbies aren't ready to learn, some newbies mindset are the reason why they fall victim to some trash, if not why will anyone fall victim to those overhyped projects when Bitcoin is there, although sometimes I won't blame newbies too because when you're new to a particular space sometomes things gets messy for you reason being that you don't know how to navigate your way around, your advise for newbies to buy Bitcoin with such strength they will want to invest in unrealistic project is nice but the holding should be atleast from 8years upward which is 2cycles.
