The two are good to traders to earn profits from their trading, but the profits will not be equal because long term hodling always bring opportunity for hodlers to earn big from the market but short term traders always earn small from the market because they hodl for short period of time before they can sell.

I can see that you are new to the system, but I will advise you to start as a short term trader so that you will see what you are going to earn from the few days, weeks or months before you will be thinking of how to switch to long term trading that is giving long term holders huge amount of money at the end.

So I have been trying to wrap my head around which is a better option, day trading crypto or buying for long term keep.
While they both have their pros and cons, they both come with a form of risk and they are meant to generate profit.
I would say long term holding or you can call it investing is much better for those who don't know how to day trade. Most people lose money with day trading because it's quite risky while loosing money with investing is close to none if you do proper research.

Day trading works best for only those people who are good at trading and they know ins and outs of the market. The profits in day trading are way higher than with investing but risk is also high with that kind of trading. Those who want to be profitable in day trading should first master trading and then begin day trading otherwise they should choose investing.

Personally which better between daily trading or long term trading depend on your financial condition, if you have stable financial long term is the best trading and get benefit earn much profitable in the future. Has exceptional if your financial not enough well and need get income every day I think daily trading is the best choose. Actually we can't predict in trading should be long term or short term trading when bitcoin and altcoin price suddenly get drop won't or not must be long term holding from your first decision become short term or daily day trading.

Don't make your self under pressure, both of trading kinds goals how to earn much profitable despite have to be long term trading and difficult to earn profit with daily day trading. For efficient earn much profitable with daily day trading must have much capital and small capital seems not easy to earn profit with daily trading.

As you’ve said both have their own pros and cons so choose what’s best for you and know that the risk level are both different. I do both most of the time since I play long with my holdings and do day trading if I saw some opportunity and if I have some extra money. Trading can be very risky, and you can just lower the risk by mastering your strategy both in day trading and playing long.

The both can't be guaranteed,  and you need good understanding for both day trading and longterm. If you must go for any of them make sure you learn to gain better understanding. If you so desperate of making money from any of them without you having knowledge,  you will find it very terrible which you will easily end up losing your money.  Assessing the two based on risk, day trading is more risky  than longterm investment, but people who want to make money so fast sees longterm as something difficult because it require patience to gain profit from longterm investment.

Both trading and longterm investment are profitable,  but it is only with understanding you be able to handle any of them. If you rush to just because of to make money from any of them without understanding,  I bet you will regret your actions, your mentality of seeing both as an easy means of making money.

Which is 'better' is totally subjective. It's like asking if it's better to be an engineer or a dentist — it totally depends on you.

Personally though, I prefer long-term simply because staring at charts all day is really not for me. I'd rather do heavy research and make big decisions then let the investment sit for a while, while I look for other sources of income so I have more money to invest.

I definitely have a definite plan for investing and I have a clear plan for how long I will hold my investment but I have no such clear plan for trading. The only expectation of trading is to make money, sometimes I understand the market and am satisfied with a small profit and sometimes I wait a little longer with the possibility that the market may go up. When there is volatility in the market I take some trading for short periods. For example, I took a trade and I made a profit of 20 to 30 dollars. I immediately sold my coins and then waited again to take another short-term trade at the right time. I have had more success trading with this strategy because short time trades are better for me if I can make more money by trading short time rather than waiting long time to make $50 to $100 profit.

Trading in general has it own risk and there's no how you can manage yourself completely in avoiding the risk involved, but one thing i just like about it is that you're likely to win more than you loose except you're inexperience, now the kind of trade you should take or go for must be under the one you have seen that best suite your own trading pattern and skills.

The major difference between them is that day trading tend to make profit from small market volatility, while holding make profit from the bigger change in crypto value.

the conclusion i see here here is not to go for anything you're not ready for.

They are both risky but trading is more risky than investment in general. However you must know if you are professional with trading, you don't have to own Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency and you simply enter and exit the market with good entry and exit, good discipline and prompt actions.

If you invest in a bad cryptocurrency, by holding it you will only lose your capital.

However, again let's emphasize risk of trading is bigger than investment and by holding a good cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, you can get profit, avoid loss.

Trading does not mean you always trade with small market volatility. It depends on your taste and experience but basically, a market is lively when it is volatile and has high trading volume. Traders would like to join a market with high volatility and high trading volume.

Day trading involves more techniques, self discipline and rational decision making.
Which do you prefer and think is better

Day trading and holding long term have some similarities, but differ quite a bit too.  Both involve risks and needing self-control and smart choices to hopefully make some profit, just in different ways.  

With day trading, you're watching prices a lot trying to catch small ups and downs to make quick profits.  It's a ton of work staring at charts, takes skill to do well, and can stress people out.  

Holding is more hands-off, waiting for bigger price jumps over months or years and  so it takes patience rather than effort.  The gains come slower but you avoid constantly monitoring markets and charts.

I'd say they appeal to different personality types.  Day trading is for go-getter number crunchers glued to their screens.  Holding works better for laidback investors playing the long game.  But both can be solid ways to generate profit.

Day trading can be refer to short term trading like trading within a day or two days. Long term in the way you used it can mean swing trading. Swing trading is when you hold your coins for some many days to many weeks. But the long term that you are talking about is holding. Do not compare holding to trading, because holding is safer, better and it requires less time and energy from you. But this is when you are buying good coins and not shit coins.
