At some points in your crypto life, you'll find some people who has substantially large amount of Bitcoin and you may ask your self how the hell did he/she hodl it from sub-1dollar to 70 thousand dollars (and can still spend it ;))) )?
The answer is simple enough, yet too obvious to be considered a common investing strategy. You have to understand what it is and where it's going!
Elon Musk once tweeted about his investment ideaology:
"""
Buy stock in several companies that make products & services that *you* believe in.
Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does.
This will serve you well in the long-term.
"""
Well this is true for literally any investment in anything, one remaining question here is: How do you get to believe in a product that someone else's making/building?
To believe in something, knowledge is required. To truly gain knowledge and understandings, patience is a MUST and you have to do your studying. There's no other way around it.
