being patient and persevering does not always pay off in the world of crypto, sometimes you have to be quick and decisive, make quick decisions especially when the value of a coin changes trend and its value begins to drop you have to sell quickly, or when it is about to be delisted from all exchanges or you have to make a swap within a certain time limit, you have to follow the market and the news 24 hours a day
Its a two way thing when it comes to being patient in crypto, the bottom line is that we should know when to be patient and when not to. For instance, if I'm holding a coin which already dumped a lot, and there is a big upcoming update for the project, I can decide to hold and sell the news. If nothing is forthcoming and the price is on steady downtrend, I might possibly sell off to avoid further loss since there are other price action set ups I can take advantage of.
