Topic: Difference between long and short term investments in crypto - page 2. (Read 302 times)

For those beginners, they are confused when they see the market and of course the market has coins in a large number of different specifications/quality with fluctuating characteristics that make them confused, now from here they actually have to do it in my opinion to get more knowledge about the crypto market either from education or contributing with seniors in the market. we think they are confused with the quantity of Altcoins in the market.

Short-term investments are usually often used by small/large investors and some of them aim to evaluate an Altcoin, but some use Bitcoin and this depends on the target and perspective of each person. because most people use long term.

Just one glance at the post you'll realize that the Op does not know the topic he/she created, this was probably done by an AI.

It has been echoed several times that one should be careful when dealing with an altcoin and profits should be taken as soon as possible to avoid price dump and rug pull and yet Op tagged an altcoin as a long-term investment and bitcoin for a short-term investment.


If you go with the idea of holding altcoin for along period then this becomes false, because the altcoin section is filled with pump-and-dump scam coins and you holding it will only make you realize more losses instead of the profits you intended to get.

Are you not wrong to write, that ethereum is a good crypto to be used as a long-term investment asset and while bitcoin is instead used as a short-term investment asset. In my opinion, your opinion is not quite right, because actually it is bitcoin that is more suitable to be used as a crypto asset for the long term, not ethereum. Because bitcoin has so far been proven to have the most stable price among other cryptocurrencies. Indeed, bitcoin can also be used as a short-term investment asset, but in my opinion it would be safer if bitcoin was used as a long-term asset. And your opinion about making money fast from investing in crypto, I don't agree, because in my opinion investing in crypto is not an easy way to get fast results, even if it's investing in the short term. Indeed, there are some people who get fast results from investing in crypto, but you should not follow the path of little success. In essence, you have to think realistically.

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.

Not really, it was just an example.

Can you explain this point more please.

If I get your points right you are classifying ethereum as a long time investment and bitcoin a short time investment. I think you got it wrong there because just like other pump and dump Alticoins ethereum is just one of them, it just that it is slightly better than the rest of Alticoins in terms of liquidity and market cap/supply but that doesn’t make it any far better than the Alticoins. In fact ethereum is considered a centralized coin since its transition to the POS mechanism where the biggest stakeholders are the manipulators.

If there’s any coin worthy of being tagged a long term coin, secure, non manipulative and by far less free of risk then that coin is bitcoin. Although experience traders use it for short term trading also. With bitcoin you can hold for longer years as a of ROI but that will be hard to say for Alticoins

Did you used an AI to write this ?

In the world of cryptocurrency, investing can be a challenging feat especially for the inexperienced. With so many coins to choose from, and fluctuating prices, it can be difficult to decide whether to hold on for the long haul, or seek quick returns with short term investments.

Long term investment in cryptocurrency refers to an investment strategy where investors buy and hold onto a particular coin for an extended period of time, with hope of realizing substantial profits in the future. This strategy requires alot of patience and self discipline, as the investor must be willing to hold onto their assets for years, even through market downturns, in order to reap the benefits in the later on.

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.

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.

On the other hand, Short term investment involves traders buying and selling cryptocurrencies within a short period of time, with a view to making quick profits from market volatility. Short term investors take a more active role in their investments, constantly monitoring market trends and making quick decisions to close their positions before any price changes occur.

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.

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.

Honestly, the choice between long term and short term investments in crypto ultimately depends on an individual’s investment goals, risk tolerance, self discipline and patience. Each strategy comes with its own sets of advantages and disadvantages.  As always, it is advisable to do your own research before deciding on which is best for you.

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.
