We as humans are naturally impatient. We want it now we want it yesterday and we want it the way we want it...Damn it...
How sick and tired are we getting of the just "HODL" and we will go to the moon posts...
Well here is another one...Sort of
For me personally I have many HODL situations that have paid off...
... HODL- getting through that school is going to pay off...(Bingo) Patience >>>>
... HODL- that girl you like so bad- just keep talking to her she will eventually notice (BINGO married) Patience >>>
... HODL- Son- learning to code is a lot of work but man it will be the way of the world and payoff big someday (BINGO) ...

Impressive MOST IMPRESSIVE.... NOT Really tho
BTC
Historical Prices in our FACES .... Again
June 2009 1 BTC = 0.0001 USD
June 2010 1 BTC = 0.07 USD
June 2011 1 BTC = 15 USD
June 2012 1 BTC = 7 USD
June 2013 1 BTC = 100 USD
June 2014 1 BTC = 600 USD
June 2015 1 BTC = 220 USD
June 2016 1 BTC= 550
June 2017 1 BTC= 2500
SO let's not say 10 Years.... Let's say "what if I'd" ...Just 5 Years ago....
$1000 invested in 2013 =
10 BTC
....and even at today's CRASH prices is $80,000
None on the list above can do that ........
If this makes you mad/sad ( like it does me) ...I'm sorry
But I won't be looking back again....Forward, Forward and more Forward ...
Until WE get to say.. "Bought in in 2018" featured in a Forbes magazine article (lol maybe)
When I'm in the depression stage of watching the price fall ... I am gong to read this post again and again and again ...
I'm going to remember that I am healthy and my family is healthy (which is really the most important thing to me)
............and think "one day I can give this investment to them"..... :)
I am going to print this post and keep it next to my Nano Ledger and read it again in 5 years...
Will Patience pay off like it has proven to do for those that have cherished it...
I think so ..
