Patience is only needed when the price of the assets we invest decreases, while for other sectors I don't think patience is needed because what is really or more needed is a strategy and how to store it. Because the investment that feels more enjoyable is investing in the long term, not just in the short or short term, which is almost the same as trading in the market. But apart from all that, I also agree with the application of patience in investing because this is an important point in investing in addition to several other points that must also be present.
If investing could guarantee a return, then everyone would become an investor and make a profit, but actually it is not. There are always risks, and the reasons may be different, but if an investor knows how to analyze well and is disciplined, then he will almost certainly be able to achieve a positive result. I'm talking about investing in bitcoin, because in the case of altcoins, the risks are even greater.
Also starting with small amount is a must in investing so despite being a newbie or lossing some assets you could already gather some knowledge and techniques once you experienced loss. Of course I am not saying to rely on your losses for you to have informations regarding investment. We're on the era of the internet where almost every information you could search online. You could also attend some seminars first. In short there's a lot of process for you to master investing so in that way you could profit and be rich.
There is really a lot of information on the Internet, but it is better to try once than hear a hundred times, so investing requires practice. Starting small or large will depend on your investment strategy, if we can spread your deposit into equal parts, or maybe you don't have this amount, but you can save it monthly, then DCA will be a good strategy in this case. This simplifies investing because you don't have to worry about finding the best entry point, and over the course of investing, you will eventually hit a good purchase price.
