Did we lose the art of patience?

Is it just me? I feel like I can't wait for years to make 6 digits from crypto. Maybe I am too much influenced by those social media influencers and moonboys and girls that advocate their prophecies after making millions of dollars in crypto. And it may look that they are those perfect analysts or visionaires, however to me they just were in at the right time, a decade ago and therefore lucky. Maybe that is my brain trying to rationalise it.

Are we, or am I losing the art of patience? Shouldn't I just be investing in these cryptocurrencies, while trusting that it will generate a solid ROI, or even an amazing ROI in 5-10 years time? The past year has been filled with ups and downs. It didn't, or doesn't, change my life yet. I believe it is technology that will be applied everywhere in the world. So I must be in the right place with investments here. How long will it take to see good returns? Does it require more time and is that normal, is it that we need more patience?

I hope I will re-read this post in 5 years time when I am financially independent.
