How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?
im doing a long term investment for sure you will gain some if you buy on right time and hold for a long time. i plan to hold xlm until  may 2018. i believe it could be 2$ or atleast more than 1 $. short term investment is good too but too risky and it takes a lot of time to monitoring the market value.

if it requires quick funds using fast way just because trading also does not require a long time
only if trapped diangka below when we buy ya must be patient if not patient must be sold at that time but must suffer losses

I think you would gain more if you are in a long term than in short term, this is based on my opinion and experience. When I bought XRP last year 2017 and do not trade it I would have gotten more than what I have last year because the bitcoin last MAy 2017 is cheaper than today. You can bought more XRP in a 50 dollar worth of bitcoin last MAy 2017 than today in a 50 dollar worth of bitcoin for XRP. That is why I prefer long term than short term.

I'm mostly looking for long term investments. But time to time I'm making some arrangements on my portfolio.
Most coins that are inside of Coinmarketcap won't last that long since they have a lot of whales trying to manipulate the price.

So, I guess my answer is that it depends on the coin.

About 90% of my investment are for long term, i rarely monitor the price because i have specific time when to sell my coins and if the amount dont meet my expectation, i will still hold it.

However i take profit at times particularly in my btc investment just like in the past holiday season i withdrew 10% of my bitcoin to buy gifts.

Well it depends. Before I invest in coin. I normally do research from the research it will tell me if i will hold long term or short term
but basically when I invest little capital it will leave for long term but if it is huge capital I will do short them.

This is correct. Before you invest in a certain coin, you already know why you did it and because of that you also know whether your investment in such a coin is for long term or short term. When you invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum or Waves for example, you know very well that all these coins will not easily go down and will acquire more value with time. So it is better if you hold them long term. But when you invest in coins that are not as solid as the ones mentioned, you may do so because there is a very big announcement or update that will for sure cause a big pump. But when the pump already happened, time to sell is the best thing to do.
well, that would be great if you had a very fast response. holding it for a long time, or briefly, it all depends on the information, or the development being done by the developer. in altcoin, it all depends on it.

I think it would be better to invest on a long-term basis because short-term fluctuations, speculation, panic and commissions can lead to loss. When we look at the examples in the past, we have witnessed that many coins multiply in the long run.

depending on the coin, maybe the safest long-term is Ethereum, Bitcoin and Ripple and short term you can look for altcoin that is being released and at the time the price is dump

Ripple is the most unsafe coin to invest in... last time went to 0.44$ in May and went down all the way to 0.1$ at some point. lost over X10 value compared to bitcoin until the recovery now which gods now how much it will last before Ripple (the company) sell their holdings ...
Yeah ripple is not safe to invest on longer term because I expect the price of ripple will fall down soon.And the ripple popularity is happening due to the problem of bitcoin transaction fee,once the fee got lowered in bitcoin the people will start using bitcoins and the price of bitcoin also will bump in the coming days.Already the fee got significantly lowered from the period of Christmas but many people don't use segwit supported wallets which gives lower fee than ordinary wallets.

14 dollars does not seem as a low fee to me.

Why exactly do you expect the btc tx fee to go down?

I was initially short terming my coins for quick profit but found all of them kept going up so until i learn some adequate Technical analysis I have switched to just long terming a bunch of promising Altcoins with juicy road maps for this year.

Everything in our life is risk. I invest minimum for 1 year. Annually I withdraw 30% from each coin to fiat.

Most of my choices now are long term, and even when I make short term speculations I do them with coins I am interested in long term, so the chances to lose are lower.

I prefer short-term, if it is now a profit, although not many, it does not need to wait tomorrow,
because we never know what will happen tomorrow,

Long term - Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both are perfect assets.
Short term - altcoins like Ripple, Cardano and IOTA that are good for trading and buying something.


I agree with his ..

You have to get what you want your own way.

may it be a long term or short term, it depends upon the situation you may really profit a lot in long term holdings but when the you're in a situation where you really need a money you had no choice but to exchanged it to fiat, or when you think you've earn enough then you're free to exchange anytime. I think its really up to you how you handle your portfolio and i believe there is no right and wrong decision regarding it.

crypto trading investment have two part long term and short term as coin have two both sides. bitcoin, eth and ripple are long term coin and this give very profit but passion is must for this. other altcoin is not fix but grow very fast in short term but this is some risky way. my opinion 80% give long term and 20% invest in short term.
