We all invest for profits and that's for certain. However, we only differ on how we manage our investments whether it's for short term or long term as we have different strategies that we set to take, but still the end goal is to accumulate profits. You can chose to hold for long term, or settle on short term and that's for you to decide, as long as you get satisfaction on every profits you made, then it should be fine.
Yup, that's the end game, the satisfaction that you'll get from your profits is what everyone's goal to have.

Make sense. OP must consider also why a lot of people advocate of long term - because they are trapped in and underwater position, which means, some bought during the peak and Bitcoin dumps, then that's the time they consider "long term". Which that's the only they need if they want to make profits and not to sell at a loss.

So for OP, it really depends on the price entry, so you must be careful when you enter the market.
Not to mention those that have set Bitcoin as their main investment for a long term holding and not just that they've been trapped and stuck. But I believe that most of the long term holders now are in great profit.

But we just don't want to sell yet, I won't sell yet but we're on it for a longer term.

Hodling is a goal and it is not something that is be done for doing sake. As for those that understand bitcoin very well and know what they want i don't think hodling Bitcoin is going to be a difficult task. When people tends to avoid longterm hodling it is just that they are going for short term because they need quick profit. In bitcoin if truly wants to get better profit hoding us just the way, if short term was a way of making quick profit while investing bitcoin I think investors won't be hodling Bitcoin.  I think op is not really informed about the outcome of short-term investment, this can make one to expect profit so quick because the mind is already focusing on short-term. I will advice op before making any plan it will be better for a research to be done to get a proper understanding of bitcoin investment.
He has already decided to do that and there is nothing wrong with it. He doesn't feel like going with most of us who are long-term holders and that's his decision.

It might or might not change anymore and that's totally fine.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
The real essence of long term investment is maximizing profits with proper analysis; being that the market has a certain structure that controls the whole influx and price action, it's easier to make much more profits during specific times/periods - The bull run/ bear market.

How do you make profit with short term investment? Let's start with the period range to which you call a short-term; it all goes down to being very attentive to know when to sell on profit.
Also, you could decide to trade on a daily - Scalping is actually profitable, but needs quite alot of concentration and focus.. also, your analysis needs to be on point. Eitherways, you could still make profits but it's basically about what you want

As a beginner there's no harm in holding Bitcoin though , the Reason why most time newbies are literally advise to go into long-term holding is because is more easier to minimise your losesse when you are holding than when you are trading with your Bitcoin for short-term profits (short-term investments) , as long is bitcoin the chances of you selling in loss on long-term holding is low compared to short-term, but still you can still do what is beat for you but I still advice you have some portion of Bitcoin that you are holding for long-term while you trade , expecially at this time around every one is expecting Bitcoin to undergo a new breakthrough.

There are stages to things so no matter what it is when you are a beginner you must learn to follow through the stages and this is also applicable to Bitcoin investment. When investing in bitcoin it is always advisable that beginners should try to play it safe first until when they have experience enough to try out complex strategies. Long term investment is the safest investment for beginners because it carries less risk and there is no much work to be done the investor after buying the bitcoin abut in short term investment one needs to be knowledgeable about the market movement and know the right time to buy and sell. This will be more easier for a pro and not a beginner so to reduce the risk of losing money beginners should always play safe and not try to be smart.

The decision to make a short-term or long-term investment depends on your financial situation.

Not just your financial situation but also your preference. The one you are most comfortable with should be your decision.

Two years ago, I decided to hold my bitcoins. But you know what happened? I sold them all to start my shop. Now, I am considering setting aside part of my income for a second time to invest in Bitcoin. The decision to make a short-term or long-term investment depends on your financial situation.

Only BTC
So I don't think that investors on the short term goals are at the wrong side because the Speculation of long term holding is excessively making it feel like short term Investors are on the wrong decision
I don't think the point has ever been that short term speculators are doing the wrong thing, people do what they want to do with their money, nobody tells them what to do. The point is that it is difficult to predict BTC in the short term, so the risk is higher in the short term, especially if you need the money you invested quickly, you may be forced to sell when you are at a loss.

Each to their own, buy and sell when you want to, but the right thing to do is to buy BTC with money you don't need anytime soon, so you'll be able to store it for a long time and not be forced to sell prematurely.

Short term Bitcoin investments isn’t something for beginners, if isn’t what a beginner can do and master it perfectly.  That’s because, the market is a highly volatile one and one who is into short term holdings should have a grounded knowledge of market movements which beginners lack so very much, even most of the users with years of experience still find it difficulty catching up with the market.
As a beginner, trying to invest on a short term might feel safe or sound like a good idea but in the real sense, it puts you out thrrr on the charts every time, always anxious and hoping it doesn’t go bad, every FUD that is been tossed around is sure to have effects on you and you have more chances of responding badly. Most times, getting out on a loss.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin
As a beginner to this bitcoin market, I have understood that long term investing and holding is most beneficial to investors that short term holding.
But I being a beginner, I might not be affordable to hold too long because I have read about investors holding their coins for over 4 years.
Although I might be reprogrammed to long term investment in the future but I need to be practically convinced in reality based on what the market hold for Investors on long term and short terms.


Whether you are going to be a short term trader or long term trader, the amount of Bitcoin you hold determine how much Bitcoin your are going to make in short term or long term. For example, you have 1 Bitcoin which is worth $65k, let's say you bought when Bitcoin ETF was approved around April when it was trading at $40k and you sold when we hit the previous all time, you would have made $20k but imagine that your capital is $2k, and you want to hold for short term, you wouldn't be able to make anything.

My advice is that whether you are holding for long term or short term, make sure you have enough capital to start with something reasonable, imagine how it's going to look like after holding $1000 for long term, it seems that investment will have to take another 5 years to be able to make 2 times of that original value and I see that as a waste of time and energy.

You know what brother? just do your own thing and what you're planning as you invest in Bitcoin. It doesn't matter whether you hold for the long term or you short it for profits.

Yes, we're all here for profits but it doesn't matter what your strategy is and that's based on your studies and patience as well.

Don't compare yourselves to the others. If we're going to hold for long term, what is it for you? we don't just go with the crowds, we're doing this because that's our plan and we know what we are doing.

As being speculated of all cryptocurrencies, they are all volatile so I am set to take my profits whenever I can and then the outcome potentials while I am Investing in this bitcoin industry would determine if I will have to hold for long. I don't think I will listen to all that advices of holding longer. We are only here to make profits and face our today's challenges and also prepares for future challenges.

So aslong is bitcoin you are holding you will definitely be in a safer side though there's no guarantees but base on Bitcoin performance in the past years , Bitcoin still has the potential to do more in the nearest future.

As long as you can take advantage of the conditions there is no such thing as a mistake, short term or long term depends on your ability to make profit. But if you use short term to make profit then it will be comparable to the capital issued and if your capital is small then the profit is also small. If you have good trading skills then short term can make profit will speculation will be much greater when not having the right knowledge.

The decision to run short term is your choice and you should also understand the risks. I hope it works so you can make a much larger portion of trade every time you get profit in the short term. Do your best to make profit and don't forget to learn the impact of the resulting risk so you have the right decision.

Bitcoin is most suited to hodl on the long term to guarantee you ROI, if you research from the time of it's creation till now you'll understand that it has proven to be a store of value. It's an asset that has continued to increase in price since it's creation, so there's no question about it not being profitable. It's true that Bitcoin is volatile, that is the more reason why it's best to hodl it on the long term because it's history has proven that it's price will continue to increase and reach new ATH price in every bull run.

You can trade cryptocurrency on the short term and make profit or lose, also you need to understand it's fundamental and technical analysis to minimize loses because trading is hard. There are many altcoins that you can hodl on the short term to make profit but you have to DYOR to avoid scams projects.

short-term investment is very suitable, choose alcoin because alcoin moves quickly, especially if there is good news about one of alcoin, it is a big opportunity to take advantage, I once experienced an incident like that, at that time my friend said that Elon would release news about doge, so I was advised. I bought doge a few days later and I made a big profit.
Yes, to get optimal results of course, short-term investments are not suitable in my personal opinion. In this case, we don't choose coins that move fast, but we also have to look at the momentum during a decline, that's where we can get a discount price there and continue to accumulate it. Trusting an influencer who promotes any coin, in my opinion it is reckless to trust them completely. It is better for us to choose assets ourselves that we believe in from our analysis rather than following influencers.

When it comes into an investment you must need to create your plan like the other projects they have their own roadmaps so people not felt lost what are the current state or phase they are in. So in trading and investment the same thing until when you will hold and what are your plans with that holds so you can easily identify your next move. People easily decieve and confuse with the statement of other people make your own don't let other people makes decide what you will do to your asset at the end of the day it's your action the only have just a statement.

The price of Bitcoin or other crypto coins is not stable. This is why they need to be held for a long time. They are volatile and your coin price may go down or go up after investment as you don't know which way your coin price will move after investment so you should invest with the preparation of a long term holding. Like if the price of the coin drops you can hold it until it recovers and profit or if the price of the coin goes up immediately you can profit from them very quickly.    It will be better for you.

We all know that the cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile and virtually unpredictable in the short term, so most people prefer long-term investing because it minimizes risk. But there are also some people who like to take risks and are confident in their ability to analyze the market, so they will take advantage of short-term fluctuations to make profits during the day. There's nothing wrong or too bad.

It is true that it is not easy to make profits or be successful in trading but that does not mean that no one can do it, there are still a few people who have done it. So just because I can't do it doesn't mean someone else can, don't impose our thoughts on others. In my opinion, whether investing is short-term or long-term depends on each person and it doesn't matter because as long as it brings the results we expect, we are right.

As a beginner to this bitcoin market, I have understood that long term investing and holding is most beneficial to investors that short term holding.

Just like what I was just saying in an old topic, between trading and holding for the long term, both are profitable, while losses are also inevitable. To become a successful trader, you have to learn and practice how to combine all the necessary trading tools that can enable you to make a profit, but as an investor, all you need is to hold your coin in a self-custodial wallet. 

If you want to trade Bitcoin for a short-term profit because you can't hold it for the long term, then you need to familiarize yourself with all the trading techniques and knowledge.

I know it’s better to hold for the long term, but we are just different, and you have to do what works best for you. If you won’t be comfortable with holding for the long term, then do what works for you. But if you are holding for the short term, you should know it’s more risky, so you have to take time and properly do your analysis so that you won’t end up selling at a loss when you are planning to sell. You should know that not everyone is holding for the long term, some people are traders and they are making money, some are short term investors and they are still making money, but since you are still a newbie, you have to be very careful and properly do your analysis.

Your advice is not acceptable to me, because we are all here to make profit, that's right. But I don't have to negotiate with you how long I will hold my investment, because I know how long I need to hold my investment. But my plan is to hold bitcoin for a long time, you have a complete idea of how you will hold bitcoin according to your plan. 
So your advice on bitcoin investment is useless, so don't be disturbed by such useless advice on investment.

Just do what you want but make sure every decision you that is aligned on your research done to get a information about the crypto you want to trade. But what's good about that is you already know about holding but for now since you can't afford to do it then its good practice ground to gain knowledge if you know how to trade your coins. But also make sure to upgrade your knowledge so that you became more better unlike if you are just there because of the hype then leave if you didn't meet your expectation which is to gain easily on your possible trades.

Well its also up to you if you didn't listen on the advices to hold longer but for sure you would realize that bitcoin holding is more good option if you want to deal with bitcoins since trading it for short term is not really profitable. Also altcoin trading is so risky that's why its not advisable for newbies especially if they are so greedy and doesn't have good phase to decide and pick what's best coin to trade.

I wonder what those who came here 5 or 10+ years ago are doing on the forum? They should have already made multiple profits and retired without ever appearing here again...

Short-term or long-term investing is not important at all, it is much more important to understand what you are investing in. It's not just about the price, most people who decide to invest in BTC do not understand the risks that come from keeping their coins on exchanges, in hot wallets (desktop/mobile), or the importance of a safe backup.

All those who go the wrong way have a very high chance that something bad will happen to them, but then they should accept that it is their own fault - it is not the fault of Bitcoin, wallet or exchange.
