Some people invest in BTC for long period of time with an expectation of large amount. And some people invest for short period of time with an aim to short gain by using the volatility. Which one you choose most? and Why? Just sharing ideas.

Most of the time it is long term hold. People confuses themselves that they can get huge profits from the quick trades over the BTC but its not true at all. Crypto currencies are volatile and that is why we should be holding our assets rather than playing around them when they are in the volatility sphere. We can get stuck while making short term trades and this is why we have long term holding options. Always remember that BTC is having huge market cap and sometimes it can move very slowly and thus it gets difficult to achieve quick bucks from it.

Those people who know that nature of bitcoin, i do not think that they will return their expectation from bitcoin, bitcoin is still has great potential and no doubt about its price that it will once again start increasing its price, i think that the investors should wait a little more and should not sell their bitcoin in such a low price, because very soon they will see a good increasing in bitcoin price.

Yes, some people buy btc at a high price, from $ 10,000 upwards it's a price that BTC hard to re-increase, now they are only under $ 8000. And BTC today may drop to $ 5,000. I believe they will continue to decline

In bitcoin, you can not predict in advance which strategy is better for him. We can buy bitcoin for a long period of storage, but if it makes a big breakthrough in its price and such a price for it for this period is a bit abnormal and it is obvious that there will be a rollback later, it's a sin not to take advantage of such a good moment. In this situation it is better to sell some of your bitcoins and then buy again when its price goes down. That is, in advance it is impossible to say which strategy will be applied. It all depends on the specific situation.

I think that investing for a long period is good because it takes less time. Investing for a short period can bring much more profit in a shorter period, but for this you need to have trader skills.

I would prefer investing bitcoin in long term period to see actually how it grow so far. Many successful investors prefer to do long term investment because they can see significant impact in their profit gain.

You should have knowledge news and off sight news accessible in your grasp. At that point you can reap the benefit and you can keep it into your pocket. Be that as it may. I believe that it depends on the multiple factors to determine which would work well for the investor, for me, it is investing for the long term.

Each speculation is made for the arrival. Some speculation is made for fast return and some for longer timeframe. A few people additionally set their venture portfolio by blending the twos. On the off chance that we see the present economic situations we can without much of a stretch say that this cost of BTC will never again be remained in the market. This sorts of market in consistently experience advertise redress. What's more, as it has been finished, it will break the earlier year cost. In this way, in introduce setting we can contribute it for a more drawn out timeframe. Then again, on the off chance that we sufficiently fit to utilize the unpredictability, at that point we can contribute it for a brief timeframe.

If you invest for a long term, you have much less job with it, and also do not need to be that much experty for trading. Of course, the profit which can be earned is also smaller.

most people make bitcoin as a long time investment, and why people do that, because those people want to get a big profit of course, because to trade with bitcoin of course we must have a large enough capital of course, if our capital is small to trade using bitcoin will certainly be difficult for us to get big profits, but if you are proficient in trading, you can buy your bitcoin with other altcoin with bitcoin you have.

As I a small investor I do not have lots to invest so I believe in the short-term periods of what I would call *luck*. This is due to the quick payouts that you can get not only investing in BTC but many other cryptocurrencies throughout the world. However, I do believe in long term holding but I believe that it should be done with at least $1k to show that you are really going to put your money where your mouth is.

By reading many of the honorable member it seems to me mixing strategy is the best strategy. Its seems to me the investment fund should be divided into three parts, One should be long term, another one should be long term and another should keep in the hand for opportunity. And in future I also try to follow the strategy. Thanks all of the member who take part with the discussion and make me enrich.

Personally, I invest in bitcoin and cryptocurrency only for a long time. I think that this is the way to get the maximum profit. Bitcoin is prone to price fluctuations, but in the long-term perspective, its price always rises. This way of investing allows me not to worry about the temporary drop in the cost of bitcoin.

I am investing into bitcoin and if seriously speaking , i have very large expectations from bitcoin because i strongly believe in its volatility and i invest into bitcoin for a short period of time because the valution flactuation in bitcoin is quite a complicated process and one can never exactly predict where the prices will go and i just believe invest for short period of time, when valution inflates sell them to get your profit and moreover bitcoin is very sustainable ,its existance is for many decades so dont worry and continue making profit from bitcoin.

If the thing comes to invest into bitcoin, I can choose any of the option either to invest for a short period or for a long period because I find bitcoin to be very trust worthy and very sustainable crypto currency but if someone needs to know specifically then I would choose to invest for short term investment because of the valuation flactuation of bitcoin. You can simply get a very good profit in a very short time because the valuation of bitcoin inflates in a very short span of time.

I believe that trading (short term investing) requires some specific skills like availability of time, flexibility while decision making. It is not possible for me at this point as I am doing my regular job and part time business. On the other hand, I can take my own time and do research considering gains from the long term. Thus, I believe that it depends on the multiple factors to determine which would work well for the investor, for me, it is investing for the long term.

Well, in choosing for a short term and long term investment it is actually depends to us if how can we manage the things that may happen in trading. But actually this both way are better to do. If you wanted to gain profit in just a short time then you will choose short term. We can actually earn profit from it but I think it's not bigger that the possible earning in the ling term investments. Because in short term, when we see that the price is increasing much higher than the value that we buy the coins therefore we will sell immediately our coins. However, in long term,we patiently wait for a long period of time until the value of it will reach it's highest peak so it will be the longer the bigger profit we can able to earn.

The way of investing depends on the free time and experience that you have. If you have a lot of time, then you can do trading. But I believe that it is better to combine investment options for long periods and for a short period.

LOL what is mean by free time mate. If you want to make the profit you should spare the time and money together. None of the people would not get the best project if do not have the time investigate. Then I suggest you to choose the mining as your option since you are bothering about time management.
But you need to spare huge investment on mining field like 3k USD to make the decent rig for you.
Select the perfect cards and start mining mate.

depends. because not all altcoins have good potential to hold, like the UAHPAY coin, which is now dead. first, I think that UAHPAY is a good coin to be a long-term investment, but eventually die.

good coin, like ODEM, ICO sales do not reach the target, but its growth in the market is very good.

bitcoin, ETH, Ripple, monero, is excellent crypto for investment, can be used for the short or long term.
but no one can do hold in the long run.

In doing or involvement in trading the way of using this system is really depends in our capability. Short term trading is good for the people that is needed to earn a immediately profit . They are the people that buy coins in smaller value then sell it in much higher value even it's not as high that they want and this will be a repeatedly to happen. While in long term investment, there will be a huge of people that is much favor to this way because in a long period of time they pretty sure that they can gain much huge profit from it. However, doing this two is both great and it depends on us on how we can handle it.

Predicting bitcoin pricing is not possible. We can't says if the price of Bitcoin would be this much tomorrow. But what we can always do is to monitor the transactions happening and look out for abnormal transactions and co-rellate it with market price. But there’s no reliable way to predict Bitcoin.

TRY TO LOOK AT THE BROADER PICTURE.

Right now cryptocurrencies aren't more than a speculative tool for easy ROI to traders and investors. The market is pretty amateur with a marketcap of less than half a trillion. Without a proper use case, many call it a bubble and expect it to die soon.

BUT

With IMF taking seriously, NASDAQ considering opening a crypto trading desk, Lightening Network gaining more adoption and support, Banks exploring crypto trading, governments taking it seriously, cryptocurrencies will definitely turn mainstream in coming years. This is the time when the big financial institutions have started taking Bitcoin seriously. People who are shorting Bitcoin at this point are doing a dumb mistake. I expect huge ROI if all of the above mentioned points turn out to be successful in long term.

Investment return is a prerequirement of every investment. There must have a return of every investment. It does not matter wheather it is short time or long time. Every investment should have a aim or target. If you reaches the target you should take out your investment return and keep it your bank account. Suppose you make a investment for a long period of time with a certain return. But your expected return is achieved within a short period of time. Then you should take out the investment return otherwise you may lose if you revise your target return. But, in my openion investment should be long term. If you achieve it within a short time that is well. On the other hand if you invest for a short period of time and do not achive the target, then you will be shocked. Besides this using volatility is a very tough works. In my openion if you invest something for a long period of time. You won't be a looser.

I'm a hodler - holding on for dear life! It's a fun ride, Bitcoin's future has yet to arrive and I intend to be a participant when it does.

Trading is a tough thing, when you're winning you believe you can't be beat so you keep letting the plays ride. Then one day you do get beat and you double down or keep going again because you're sure the tides will change. It usually all comes down to the gambling mentality.

Holding is good and I support this, as it show serious faith in the crypto space, and when it moons you would cash out big. I also agree with you that trading is very tough, and probably more nerve wrecking than holding for the long run. However, if you can make little gains each day or each week, slowly to recover your initial investment, you can enjoy the ride of trading, as you would be playing on already acquired profits rather than invested money. Yes will you still expend resources such as time, and internet etc. But it's better than the principal amount all going down the drain.

r. To be a cryptotrader who deals with short trade, one must have a gambling mentality.

Once we invest we expect profits in return, in envesting a btc put in mind that it is not always profits.. As we all know that cryptocurrency is volatile so take it as a win or lose game, so invest an amount which you can afford to lose don't expect to much profits.

I would select the two. Holding bitcoin for a long period of time really pays off and I experienced how my capital grew and benefits me and my family. Also if I have more time I will do some day trading since there is a huge opportunity to earn big if you are skilled enough to play in trading. Thus both of them is good and its just a matter of choosing what you want. For me I choose both.

I chose to be a long term holder and there are times that I'm also shorting if there's a need.
Depending on everyone's situation. You promised yourself that you'll hold for more than 5 years but you don't have anything left on your savings and there's a need to spend so you'll use your very last resort and that is to sell for quick and short term profit.

Its what the situation tells us to do, but as much as possible having other coins to do day trading as with bounty rewards can give a big impact on having a way to manage to earn while holding. It just a matter of what coin to release and to stick with.

You can do that if you think it's better, more profitable and you are doing good that way. Holding while trading those bounty rewards is normal today so the HODLING only applies during the market dips.
I trade but not with bounty rewards, I'll take portion and riding those coins that has nice volume so there's a sure sell and buy orders for it.
I won't gamble to those low valued coins and just pray it will rise.

Well i am new in bitcoin but i think long term holding is good because in order to get good return from bitcoin you have to hold for long term and plus this what i have heard from people who bought bitcoin since 2012 .They say You need to have long term planning for bitcoin. Just think when those people bought in bitcoin in starting they must have hold it in order to get good return now .

Actually I am doing both, I have long term investments and I also do trading, but just for the sake of the topic if I need to choose one I will choose buy and hold strategy. Why because it is less risky and you do not need to spend a lot of time analyzing charts/indicators. You do not to stay on your computer/gadget to check the prices.

If investing in Bitcoin at the moment is difficult to expect to return to Bitcoin become true. Bitcoin prices are too high for all Altcoin, too high a rate to block the growth of Bitcoin and make it slow to double in a short time. Hoping for Bitcoin, it's hard to be realistic.

I expect a big return in Bitcoin, because I believe Bitcoin will keep on rising in the future, so I don't aim for short term gain, it's too unpredictable and consuming too much energy to keep on watching the price, I believe something big will come out if I hold it for long term

Some people invest in BTC for long period of time with an expectation of large amount. And some people invest for short period of time with an aim to short gain by using the volatility. Which one you choose most? and Why? Just sharing ideas.

Personally, lately I have not sold bitcoin at all. I had some problems in the past, it made me sell the most. Now I have changed the strategy. I keep bitcoin for a long time and trade different altcoins to have money now. People who are successful in trade always make me respect them. I hope my investment in bitcoin is a rich future. So it will be.

The way of investing depends on the free time and experience that you have. If you have a lot of time, then you can do trading. But I believe that it is better to combine investment options for long periods and for a short period.

both! there is no rule saying you should only choose one and stick to one at all times.
long term investment is definitely the easiest thing and that is what I will always do no matter what else I am doing. in other words I always have some amount of bitcoin put away in my cold storage which I am not going to touch for many years.
at the same time I am doing some trades whenever I have the time and more importantly whenever I find the market most predictable. that way I can increase the amount of bitcoin that I already have for my long term investment.

I've only tried short term, held it for a couple of months then eventually sold it. I haven't hold any of my investment for more than a year I always cash it out or spend it on something. Holding long term would give you a higher return and it's one of the best way to earn money but it's hard to do if you're not disciplined enough. I might try it at some point if I can accumulate a good amount of bitcoin.

I choose the long term because holding Bitcoin as long as become richer. Bitcoin is like a complex board of gods, the longer you keep it, the more worth it gets and the time that makes up Bitcoin's value. Want to become productive with Bitcoin then we should wait.

Both are good to consider. However, if you are not an expert trader or technical trader using short gain by using bitcoin volatility is risky especially if you are risking or investing big amount of money. So it is better to hold for long period of time because bitcoin is a good hold than any other cryptocurrency or altcoins.

I guess long time investors are the ones who have the extra cash and have big capital and short term investors are the ones with minimal capital and they expect to gain profit in a short period of time.

I prefer a mixture of both as it's difficult to predict with bitcoins where it'll go. So I keep changing my strategies as per the prices, if it's low then I'll buy more and if it's high then I'll sell less at high price. I keep doing it and get exceptional good returns and the mid price is my profit. Though my preference is and has always been for the long run, as short run is scary.

Every investment is made for the return. Some investment is made for quick return and some for longer period of time. Some people also set their investment portfolio by mixing the twos. If we see the present market conditions we can easily say that this price of BTC will no longer be stayed in the market. This types of market in every year go through market correction. And as it has been over, it will break the previous year price. So, in present context we can invest it for a longer period of time. On the other hand, if we capable enough to use the volatility, then we can invest it for a short period of time. But, to do so you have to be a clear-sighted about the market. You must have insight news and off sight news available in your hand. Then you can harvest the profit and you can keep it into your pocket. But it is a little bit risky.

An investment should be long term and not for a short profit. Bitcoin will give as the opportunity to earn big in a short period of time but there's a risk on it coz the market is so volatile so expect more growing community around the corner. better hodl than to sell early.

Bitcoin has both facilities! For long term and short term. If you want to hold for a long time then you have to hold almost 6 Months to 1 year at least. Hope you will gain good profits. But if you understand market trend then you can trade bitcoin for a short term. When bitcoin was 7K or even 8K, Of you bought that time then you already get 1200 USD Profit! That's why live traders are richer than holders

I would prefer investing bitcoin in long term period to see actually how it grow so far. Many successful investors prefer to do long term investment because they can see significant impact in their profit gain.

In investing in bitcoin I choose investing in the short term and I use bubbles for my profit, selling during peak bubbles and I am patient to wait for the price to fall again.

Cause Trading, trying to catch swings, is much more profitable. There are two kinds of traders: Flow-Trader, they go with the market flow and reversal-traders, they try to catch "counterreactions" of the market. Usually, reversals are not more than 2 to 8 percent, but better predictable for an experienced trader. Flow-Traders can make more return, in case they are sitting on the right side.

An investor is simply spoken a flow-trader but tries to catch a swing on a higher timeframe (colloquial long-term).

In a nutshell, an experienced trader can make realistically and consequently up to 30% a year. An investor more, but only in the case he has time and is sitting on the right portfolio.

If someone wants to earn from bitcoin trading, knowledge about the market and close watch on market trends is must. Short term trading may be done i.e. buying and selling the same day.
Some people buy bitcoin for long term investment with the intention to sell at the time when the prices are up.
But keep in mind every body who enters the market his intentions are just to gain something. Suppose you buy btc @ $9 k then somebody who sold you may have purchased it @ $7k so with your purchase to gain something in future was the reason behind the gain of somebody else who purchased it sometime back with the same intentions.
So you became the target for him to earn money.
Now you are in the field to target somebody else to earn money. Your target will be the person who buys it for more money than you invested.
But we have to be careful ; in case the downtrend starts; and suppose the same btc bought @ 9 k may be forced by the circumstances to sell @ 7k . So may be you again became target; lossing $2k.
So expectations are always for gaining something but may have to loss too in some cases.
So we have to be careful; watch full; and full of knowledge if we want to gain.

For me I choose to invest for a long period of time so I will earn big. I have my work so I earn but not that big . I join here in crypto to earn big because my job salary cannot cater all of the expenses of my family even both of me and my husband is working it is not enough for our expenses. We need to earn extra money for our needs, even it is not weekly basis because we have a work.

Believe me I tried the short one and it doesn't work at all. I mostly ended up getting nothing, and got hyperactive with the results so changed the strategy to long hodler. This suggestion was made by most of the legends and seniors here so I listened to them.

Last time I sold my BTC was in December on the highest peak and after then I bought it again with January dip. Since then I am holding and the results are pretty good.

So long term holding it is.

If I choose a short-term investment. Because the other advantage of short-term investments is that you can get substantial results. With this type of investment, you can often realize good results after only a very short time. Then you sell security to lock your profits and look for something else to put in money.

I'm a hodler - holding on for dear life! It's a fun ride, Bitcoin's future has yet to arrive and I intend to be a participant when it does.

Trading is a tough thing, when you're winning you believe you can't be beat so you keep letting the plays ride. Then one day you do get beat and you double down or keep going again because you're sure the tides will change. It usually all comes down to the gambling mentality.
