Topic: Long term vs. Short term - page 98. (Read 11521 times)
I do 60-70% long term (xby, ltc, eth, btc) and 30-40% short term (alt coins in top 100) investments. Doing good so far.
Hmmm what is best for this two? I think the best thin to do is for long term because you will see your money is growing and wait for the price get up and trade for the right time than short time.
First of all investing to somethings doesn't mean that you will earn a profit, there's a high risk you're going to face whenever you're going to invest to something. So the both strategy is profitable but there's always a risk present in trading, so invest only what you can afford to lose. And it's not guaranteed that this strategy will work always, It depends also on the coin in where you're going to invest so you really need to study the coin first or analyze it before start trading.
LONG TERM INVESTMENT
Where in you're going to hold your coin for a long time and you'll withdraw it once you've reach your goal time/price.
High Profit
High Risk
Coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum
SHORT TERM INVESTMENT
Where in you're going to sell your coin once you've earn profit no matter how big or small it is.
Low Profit
Low risk
Coins: Ripple, Litecoin, Dash and other altcoins

How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?
As such, if you get involved, the golden rule is not to invest any more than you can afford to lose. If you have followed this rule then all your investments should be considered long-term, and by long-term, I mean 3–5 years minimum. Why? Simply because the longest bear run we have experienced is two years. Those who invested in Bitcoin in December ’13 and didn’t panic sell during the crash had to wait until early ’17 to be back in profit. Over three years. A bear market can hit us at any point and if it does then the longest we have experienced is two years and this is our benchmark. 
It depends... But I opt to go long term especially for those projects that has a big potential. The gains for long term is better but you really have to practice patience and have other income stream, plus studying the project where you will invest your money is very important so you can be confident that you will gain for long term.
I prefer short term. I don't like it when my money is idle. I want to run it. I know I must take some risk to gain something. But I think it's too much risky when I go for a long term in crypto world. Nothing is certain here. So, even the profit isn't much I prefer short term cause the risk is also not much.
Long investments simply better short. If for you lack of time you will begin to work that less than. It is here important to guess a moment when that or other currency will grow and to sell it. Most people are preferred by long investments.
Because holding a long term is the safest way and lower risk compared to short tern trading, if you say short term you need to monitor the market value of your holding coins unlike holding long term all you have to do is wait until the price was increase and your profit already was there. Yeah mostly people now preferred to hold that what they have or just go to panic selling.Long investments simply better short. If for you lack of time you will begin to work that less than.

I will prefer to long term investment as I couldn't in front of my notebook for a long time. So I think investing for a long time is my suitable preferences.

This comparison is certainly very interesting, but I think that everything is very simple. If you are able to work on the stock exchange you can use short-term investments , but if you do not know how to work at the exchange, welcome to the club of holders. 
I am lazy too much. So, I prefer a long term investment. 
Both can have a good return !
It's a good idea to choose long term because it can get more profit while short term if it feels less profitable because many short-term concern alias not calm.
if you are lazy enough you can go to the long term so you can just wait for the profit on the next year but if you want get some profit in early time you can go short term and maximize your profits
BTC and ETH are definetely great for long-term investments, but their growth is not so fast. You can also invest into some cheap(less that 1$) tokens, which are on the state of ICO/pre-ICO and forgot about them for year or more. But be carefull,in the best case you can get your money multiplied, in the worst these tokens became to worth nothing.
Depends on your investment plans and the goals you intend to acheive. short terms are fit for quick money making, not always a profitable but one can acheive and address financial needs within a short time. long term on the other hand maximizes your returns over a period of time as the initial investment gains value with time and trades for higher profit margins.
If you prefer long term you should try bitcoin and etherium. But if you prefer short term you should try altcoins. It depends on you, if you prefer fast earnings go short term and try altcoins. But if you prefer more big earnings but takes a long period of time go long term and try bitcoin. Its both good because these coins are profitable.
For long term investment i would prefer BTC,ETH,ALT,these coins can give you benefit if you hold them for certain time because prices are low these days and when price higher you can sell.On the other hand for short term you can choose,ADA,XPR,NEO,and some other coins,these coins are good for day to day trading,depend upon your way of trading and investment amount.
Really though? All those altcoins you mentioned only good for long term, seeing the past, their price chart seems to reflect the benefits for any longterm hodlers and give them a huge reward of price increase after waiting atleast a whole year.In the other hand, BTC, ETH right now so volatile that it's really good for short term trading, well atleast that's my honest opinion.
Long-term is winning in case a good projects, and even though I'm new to that I will choose it in bitcoin so it will tell you what to choose ..
