As always, many good points here. Should be recommended reading for everyone who starts on Hive, regardless of their entry point...
Patience is key... as long as you have faith that what you're involved in will continue to go forward, rather than fizzle out and die. I know they can't "die" on the blockchain, but I have some 2nd layer tokens where 30,000 of them isn't even worth one cent. Be discerning!
