Crypto in general will test the human patience, most people will enter the markets in a bull run and inevitably there will come a time that things will start going the other way and this will be a big test of our patience. Generally in this space one can't go wrong with the major coins, there are major gains to be had in one or more crypto cycles, but 4-8 years surely takes patience.
One way to make it easier is to do your own research, to invest in projects you really believe in, to then just HODL then and not be so frantic about checking prices all the time... it does take patience but it doesn't necessarily have to take so much time and energy during that time.
