If you are really looking for a good way to earn like double your investment in short amount of time? then there are a lot of alt coins out there that can give you that opportunity, you just need to analyse the coins and get lucky to get in when it is still cheap and sold them on the right time.
As for bitcoin, much better to hold long term, at least 6 months to a year will be good, so if you have that mental toughness not to be tempted and just totally forgot about it and just go back after a year and revisited your investment, then Bitcoin will be a good coin to hold and invest for a long time.
