Contrary to popular belief, long term investment in crypto can be risky too, as the market is highly unpredictable, and the future of any coin is uncertain. Holding onto a coin for too long without monitoring market trends can result in missed opportunities and even losses. Even though it minimizes the risks of short term volatility, it may still end up with a loss if the coin fails to gain value in the future. I think a hybrid investment strategy that combines both long term and short term investment can be more effective than sticking to one strategy.

Don't joke with my Daughter
From my understanding around the forum based on few posts and comments I have red so far is that for one to venture into investment it should be that the money for investment shouldn't be what would make you being in a haste to sell assets otherwise may likely involved of selling with panic, then secondly bitcoin is what majorly survived for long term investment anything short term should be altcoin because I don't think they can survive for long run. Hence, short terms investment should be for altcoin and long term investment should be for bitcoin except in some cases whereby after they invested and Market suddenly turned for good at then investors can decides to sell off their bitcoin in a short term.

For those willing to hold their investments for extended periods of time, long term investment may be a great option, as it comes with fewer risks and higher potential gains. While for those looking for quick profits, short term investment may be more suitable, as it allows traders to capitalize on the volatile nature of crypto markets.
Short-term investments are those that mostly rely from the trend and down-trend of a project. This is wheres we commonly see investors make use of the coin's volatility. This type of investment requires more time and effort compared to the other type (long-term).
Long-term investments on the other hand, are those investments where you (the investor/trader) believes that the project is a good one that's why you are willing to stake for a Long.

The quick returns on investment associated with short term investment cannot be compared to the overall returns in long term investment. I always prefer long term any day any time. For me instead of short term investment trading the coin per will be much better and more profitable. In that regard taking my profit daily which can sum up more than i would have ever gotten on short term hold. Sometimes even mid-term trading might not even yield anything good, crypto investment is best on the long term goal.
The choice between long-term and medium-term investment is not always up to you, it will also depend on the market. How long the market will give you to accumulate positions, in what period you start investing, all this is important, because the wrong timing for buying can even make your investment unprofitable.

If we take the current situation on the market, for example, you decide to start investing in bitcoin now, then what do you do, you buy bitcoin for all available funds for investment at the current price of $ 26,800, or start buying now with certain amounts and will buy up to what the prices?

This is all very important because it will determine the amount of time you need to wait for your investment to break even and for it to make a profit.

When you want to invest, the investment experience varies according to the return, the money you have, and the extent of your need for that money. There is no objection to the individual having a long-term investment, and when he finds an investment opportunity, he transfers part of his share to a short-term investment, and so on.
So investing in itself is a personal experience, and its return can vary according to your experience, past experiences, and psychological factors. In short, we cannot judge by simply writing or reading without going into personal experience.

One of the most important advantages of a long term investment in crypto is that it minimizes the risks associated with volatility. Rather than getting caught up in the ups and downs of the market, long term investors use the ‘set it and forget it’ strategy, allowing their investments to grow over time,
I totally agree with you that you don't have much problem with long term investment.The market often continues to fluctuate but these long-term investors don't worry because they know they are holding their coins for the long term.

Ethereum is a good example of a long term investment. The coin has ranked among the top cryptocurrency investments and has shown alot of potential for growth in the future.
I think Bitcoin along with Ethereum will be the best investment for long term investment.You can never ignore BTC as a long-term investment.Bitcoin is the top cryptocurrency on the market and is considered very reliable for the long term.



Bitcoin is an excellent example of a short term investment. Day traders have made quick profits by buying and selling bitcoin within a single day.


Bitcoin is the top cryptocurrency, but  its price is very high and people with less capital cannot do short term trading in Bitcoin.Fluctuations in Bitcoin will not bring significant returns to the small investor.Therefore, short-term investment in small and low-value cryptocurrencies can prove to be very profitable even for small investors.

No I don't. As you already know, most of these sites are not always accurate
The determination of AI-generated posts is becoming very controversial because of the inconsistency of many of these detectors. Members usually suspect long posts to be AI-generated which is not always the case. It will be better to have a standard AI detector for the forum and a clear policy on AI-generated posts.

Yea, to detect AI written text is becoming controversial. Not that it is becoming controversial, rather it is controversial because there has never been a clear reference where it wasn't controversial from the beginning.
One of my country men complained about this in our local board, how the post he put much efforts to make was tagged as being AI generated.

What happens is some of these tools they use doesn't have a clear standard to classify an AI generated posts. Sometimes, they use the formatting pattern to judge, which is not supposed to be so.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

Bitcoin is an excellent example of a short term investment. Day traders have made quick profits by buying and selling bitcoin within a single day.

I have exact opposite opinion about this because bitcoin volatility exists everyday but is it really possible to hit the trades everyday when price goes up and down which is almost impossible and I am mentioning it from my all the years of being a day trader that is why day trading is highly risky as well as you can get high rewards too.

But if I have to pick either short or long term with bitcoin then definitely long term will be my choice because I know the price of Bitcoin will be a lot high in the next 4 or 5 years from now so what's stopping you to invest and just relax until the next ATH approaches.

One of the advantages of short term investment in crypto is that it offers quick returns on investment. Traders can buy low and sell high in a matter of days, hours, or minutes, allowing them to take advantage of market volatility and earn their profits. But these quick returns come with alot of risks. Sudden price fluctuations can result in major losses for the investor as well.
Despite the advantages that follows, newbies at trading shouldn't be advised to take on short term investment or trades on any cryptocurrency's but a long term investment will be fine at the moment while you take much time to keep yourself abreast with every techniques regarding with crypto trading.  You may ask, Why start with long-term investment plan? That's because it doesn't need a broad knowledge to start, you just buy and hold patiently for longer period of a year or more as the case may be, without having to deal with technicalities as in the case with short term ( minutes, days, hours or a week's).

If anyone want to take on a long term investment plan it should be on a coin you're confident about and not just a random coin as most alts don't even survive a year before going extinct, so to be on the safe side bitcoin is most preferable for longer investment.

We can set examples of long term investors remaining long term investors while short term investors and traders, turning into long term investors after understanding that they can't win at most times against the market.

With being short term investor, this is actually a good way to have some decent profits that you may want to get from a project you're invested in and by that time comes.

You'll choose another investment again like in Bitcoin and you'll be transferring your profit from here to there. That's why in my observation, that's what's happening and everyone understands that it's not gonna need so much effort to be one.

It can also be the reverse too. You see not all day traders have managed to secured potential gain for their everyday, and its more like a risky gamble. Thats why if you want to settle with short term then your focus is required to fulfill a fruitful gains daily. I guess mid to long term aspect is much relax and more chance to gain bigger cause we are talking about time maturity here. It will not consume a lot of your effort but only to be steady and gain more in the long run struggle.

Mid to long term investement is a good choice. in definition, mid term investment is a period on holding or investment horizon that is intermediate in nature. Some times people are better to choose mid term investment because it helps them to assess their progress of invesment and keep handling their investment strategy stay on the track.

It is generally believed by most cryptocurrency investors and traders that when it comes to long-term investment, Bitcoin is the number one and it has no strong competitor. I want to also add that long-term investment might be good for newbies since it requires less skill and minimal experience. Short-term investors must be well abreast about the daily operations of the crypto market.

Wow seriously? This is interesting , but... 😄
He probably doesn't have enough time to write or don't know how to write well making such article.
But aside from how this writing is created, In fact, we already have many clearer sources and details to tell the difference. But what is certain is that someone can be a short or long term investor, depending on what coin or how the strategy is. Because usually, different coins can also have different strategies, especially for hype coins, maybe this won't be good for the long term. Meanwhile, there are certain coins that are very potential for the long term, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various other top altcoins. But for those who have small capital, it seems that the short term might be more valuable, but it still depends on how our strategy is in executing.

Ethereum can also be a good example of short term investment because the same thing you stated about short term investment, traders can also take advantage of the volatility of the ethereum market.  I do not think that Ethereum market moves differently from Bitcoin market.  They are both highly volatile and may crash and surge from time to time.

Bitcoin is an excellent example of a short term investment. Day traders have made quick profits by buying and selling bitcoin within a single day.

Aside from being an excellent example of short term investment, Bitcoin is more superb in being a long term investment.  Actually it is better than your given example for long term investment (ethereum).  It has proven that Bitcoin give more profit to people who are into a long term investment.  

If you wanted to give an example for short term investment, I think memecoins, and shitcoins are the best example for it.  They often surge in a short period of time due to hype and pump& dump a few weeks/months after it was release in the market then become in hiatus mode for so long until most of them goes bankrupt or worthless...



This is mixed AI generated with some human modification.



About the subject matter,  a shit coin is determined by their road map and value and not necessary by market cap which can also be manipulated.

Nope, for shitcoins, roadmap is just a decoration and has nothing to do with the value of the coins.  Shitcoin market as you stated is often manipulated and subject to pump and dump before withering away.

here's the result of some of the AI-generated text detectors that you can find on nutildah's thread. I am not certain how accurate these AI content detectors are since some are saying it is AI generated and some are either 100% human or unclear.

https://platform.openai.com/ai-text-classifier = "The classifier considers the text to be unclear if it is AI-generated."
https://writer.com/ai-content-detector/  = "100% HUMAN-GENERATED CONTENT"

Ops this is AI generated wall of text, it make no sense not to put in extra effort into constructing a post here in the forum rather than writing 1000 world using AI bot, this practice may not earn yoh a good reputation in the forum and also many forum members including myself find it as a waste of time reading those wall of texts.
When it comes to analzing financial investment and chosing betweenong term or short term it still ball down to the fact that the bkth are good investment Set so you will have to choose the one that best sort your preference
