I think we must be both long term and short term. It really depends on the potential of the investment.
My criteria of a good long term investment ICO is that:
1. It must be an existing business for a few years with a good model, and have even bigger feasible plans for the reason of doing an ICO.
2. Team composition and advisors are next that I look at, idea can be great but without a strong team, it wouldn't give me sufficient confidence that their plans can be executed without delays, that is if it's ever executed.
3. Next thing would be how unique their business plans are, I realised many ICOs are basically copying ideas from existing businesses, tweek abit and calling it theirs, hence it comes back to the point of why it must be a running business for at least a couple of years.
To end off, I would like to invite long term, serious investors to have a good look at DirectHome.

Topic: Are you long term or short term? - page 33. (Read 3575 times)
in conditions that are not possible as it is now very difficult to predict the price of coins that will rise, I think we should just wait patiently until the price really back to normal at least we return the capital
It's hard to short-term these days. Prices just keeps falling. On these bear period, the only choice we have is doing long-term tradings. Then we'll get nice profits after the market is booming again.
The circumstances of the market changes, in the previous year it was very easy to make short term profits because all the market was going up in fact I could be surprised if anyone that was a short term trader lost any money since you could not ask for an easier market but now that the market is going down constantly making any profits right now is going to be really difficult even for experimented traders.
If I prefer a long term. The vibrational nature of cryptography is very difficult to predict. Usually prices up and down are absolutely unpredictable.
It all depends on my situation. If there are extra money - I invest in a long time. And so I work my bank in the short term.
Once you invest in cryptocurrencies it is better to wait for long term. Short term will never give you the better profit. So don't hurry if you have coins please wait and hold it for long term. You know the market situation surely you can guess whether its going down or up. According to that we can decide hold or not. In my opinion holding long term will be the best rather than short term.
I am trading once in a while because I have coins in exchanges. Sometimes I buy and just wait the coin to go up in value before I sell, of course I know it is in dip. Now, which is better, set it to your expected price so that when it hit you sold? O wait for the price to go up and sell even if it did not reach yet to your target price? Thanks.
if I prefer to buy when the price is down as what is happening right now, so I choose to buy and keep it for a long period, maybe if we choose short term, it may be called trading, when profit and up slightly from that before we buy we already sell it. 
As a general rule in trading you should let your winning trades run and cut your losses short. Personally I am long term on most of my coins. Just hodling and staking some of them as I currently don't have the time available to daytrade. But of course that you should always have clear profit-taking targets, as well as stop-losses. 
That actually depends on the coin/token that I am holding but I am more on long term hodler due to the fact that I am only holding small amount of invesment I will set a target price whatever the amount of time will take I will surely sell it on my target but for those that I got in airdrop and some bounty once I see that it is pumping I will release it immediately.

I do not decide this in one option, it all depends on how the market does its activities. A change of plan must exist as long as you hold your coin. As it is today the average altcoin price is very low. Of course even if you have a short-term plan, you will not sell your coin now.
Obviously Long term no point targeting short Crypto currency is meant for long-term profits better than bank interest and mutual funds
actually, if we want to use long-term profits, we still need to determine how much profit we want to take and how much price we want to sell. although there is no one will know but we could wait for the increase and we can do another thing so when the time comes, we can directly sell to take the profit. and if we compare with the bank interest, I think the result still bigger in the cryptocurrency because sometimes we don't have to wait for until one year to see the profits.

Regardless of your options you will still have to watch the chart and understand the potential of your investment. Its is always wise to set a stop lost which ever way you do it. Set a comfortable way to get out when your on top. Once you get out start again do not tey to cath up where you left of you know how volatile the market is.

If the coin you have is in a down position, then of course holding with long term will be more profitable for you. You do not have to wait for the highest target. If your coins are on the rise then you should immediately sell them, because that is an opportunity for you to make a profit.I am trading once in a while because I have coins in exchanges.

In my opinion, every time I start trading any cryptos, the first thing I do is to set the target price for each crypto. If you do not set the target price, you will be affected by FOMO psychology decision to sell crypto at that time. We should set a target price for ourselves to sell the crypto at the rate we want, and immediately after reaching the goal of exchange rates, we will sell it quickly to reinvest.
The only reason I can do short term is if I'm in dire need of fund or I just feel I've gotten enough profit but other than that I'm for long term because coins can yield more than one expects

Now, because of the strong market downturn, most traders have become long-term investors. I believe that in this market it is necessary to invest in promising projects for several years to come.
That will be the right decision to take but I think that the opposite is happening, many people that invested in cryptocurrencies in order to make money in the short term saw the huge losses that they were taking and decided to sell their coins and materialize their losses, only those that are smart which realized that selling will be a bad idea are still holding.

it depends on coins which you buy it. if that price grow up quickly why not for selling it, because the price can falling down anytime
