I think I will do both also. Trade with some coins and -bank- the profits as I go along but overall I think I will mostly like to have bitcoin for when it is more widely available for buying everyday goods

I do for both short term and long term. Short term profit is cashed out to meet my daily expenses and for routine work . this also helps me in leveraging if there is a fall in the market with profits cashed out some part I buy it back at lower price so that my average prices gets balanced and do incur too heavy looses if there is huge dip in some coins.

I like the idea of working for long term goal for bigger gains but sometimes when some rumors and speculations showed up I tend to believe and try to catch the ride as Im always looking for gains even in a small value but still a gain is a gain and its very important to us as traders.

If you are looking for long term investment you need to invest on bitcoin and some most trusted altcoins according to its market value. Since, eth smart contracts and grown up enormously you do invest on those kind new ICO if you looking for short term profit. For long term profit bitcoin holding is the only way to become a millionaire.

I do both.
I started as a long-term investor but right now I'm using my profits to invest in ICO's to make more money. 50% of the money I make from ICO's is being reinvested in other ICO's or projects I like (mostly ICO's though to keep the flow flowing Wink

) and the other 50% stay there and become long-term investments.

I think that the majority invests in the crypto currency for a long-term perspective, as it does not take into account fluctuations constantly increasing in price. This is especially true of bitcoin. To invest in the short term, it should be conducted for some purpose, for example, for trading on the stock exchange. To do this, you need to have certain knowledge and skills, as well as time to monitor the situation on the exchange.

I have to disagree with you. I think the majority of crypto investors trade for the short term. They don't invest for the long term. That explains why there are so many coins. Traders don't care about the merits of the coin, as long as there is volume and volatile prices, they just trade it up and down.

Imho who invest for short only then not interested project self and his essence. That's why there are many scam project which doing all for short pump-dump. It is not crypto it is scamto.

Warren Buffet would say go for long term if you want to be rich, or flip flop then cry. Long term with Ark as crypto is still young.

This is so true. I hop from one coin to another for short term gains if I do not care for the project. I hold the ones I like for the long term.

Ark is up there for me as a good 5 year HODL.

I'm a mixture of both; I store about 70% of my crypto in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Dash. Then I have about 30% of it in an exchange with a trading bot (Gunbot) going after short term volatility. And of course, I'm keeping all my DeepOnion from the signature campaign for a long term... which surprisingly is quickly becoming my largest holding!

I mostly invest for long term whether it is an ICO token or an altcoin or bitcoin for that matter. My perception is since I already placed a capital for that certain coin then why not go for long term instead of short term and as long as I don't need the money yet then it'll stay there for a while.

Personally I see 'investing' and 'trading' as two different things, for me 'investing' is buying a coin for the longer term and holding it until it reaches a set value whereas 'trading' is short term, buying a coin and intending to sell it in a very short period of time for a small gain.

I use altcoins which cost a lot, such as Litecoin, Etherum and Bitcoin cash for a short time investment, I'm trading it so to say. And I have investment in couple of ICOs projects this summer and the plan is to hold it till the price will not raise Wink

it depend on the coin, but i like to invest for mid terms most of the time, but if i see real potential i can change my mind and invest for long term, short term is not for me

It depends on the coins you invest and yes but for me i still prefer in a long term trades a i can see a huge profit in long term but if you see that the coins is not doing good then sell it and choose another good one

Of course they're thinking that its price will go to the moon and take profit from it.
As for investing in ICOs, I don't really know about that, but seems like it was all about profit.
Well, I'm more like a day trader. I wouldn't hold my alts for a really long time since I tend to panic if the price fall like crazy.

For alt it is so hard to hold it for a long time when it falls so dump much better if its bitcoin theres a possibility and think so positively that it goes back again and it will pump but for alt there is no such positive thing.

I as being a part time altcoin trader, my focus is on long term as I have a constant income that I'm saving and investing on Altcoin hoping to get over x10 within 2-3 years.

Actually it depends on your goal to reach a profit in investing ICO's. Because once you invest on a coin you will verify its roadmap and if it has a good project that worth investing for a long term or short term. In a short term you might get a little profit on a short period of time. So you will balance your trading term for a long or short term gains.

I think most people are doing the same as the OP
Holding some coins long term and trading others or
portions of the same for the short term!

Myself I am holding Bitcoin of course and some old
reliable alt's for the long term.
and I am also trading on and off the same types of coins.
