In my opinion before decide to make invest in long term or short term, you have to understanding price action of crypto and situation of the market. Technical analysis also will helpfull to decide when should doing short or long term trading. In this current situation of market, in my opinion swing trading is best to do, because the price just started going up.

In my opinion investing in crypto varies from the investor's own choice and her/his capabilities to manage the investment. Both are profitable but requires more knowledge and time to manage it correctly.

Hello my dear Bitcoin brothers.

I would like to ask you about your experience with day/swing trading vs. long term investing and also,
what was more profitable for you and what are pros and cons for both ways of trading?

This question interests me since market is very volatile and it can get quite easy to exploit daily range for a quick small profit.

Thank you fellas.
For me the short-term trading is the safest choice at the present time, you can see that bitcoin prices in the past few days are constantly fluctuating and difficult to guess. Today after touching the $ 9800 level, it immediately adjusted to the $ 8700 level, which is a huge adjustment and has made investors panic and runaway. So short-term trade is the safest choice.

I think the choice lies on the profit margin you are aiming to get. If you want a bigger profit, then a long term investment is better for your to choose because it would yield you more return. However, the return would not be possible without a patient attitude and accepting the fact that the investment may drag for months at a time before a great and big return would surface. On the one hand, short term investments are better for earning fair enough return, but not as big as long term investments may yield. Also, the risks for short term investments are lesser because, at least, it's more real-time in terms of showing you if your venture would give something good or not.

Short-time investing may protect you from loosing profit by "eternal" holds. Sometimes it's really better to sell faster.

I think it depends on you. If you are good at trade then daily trade is good for you.If you are not expert in trading or don't have enough time for trading then you should go for long term.Also long term trading gives big profit.Usually I trade both (long term and short term)

I've read your question, You want to know about that,I will tell you that if you are not a very expert technical analyst, then you have to invest long enough,The crypto market is much more volatile, The small movements of the market are very difficult, So I will tell you to invest for long time,When the market's small movements can boast itself, it will be able to boost itself

If you do not have enough experience, it is better for you to choose a long-term investment. Because short-term trade requires certain skills and knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies. In addition, a mistake with short-term trading can turn you into a long-term investor. And long-term investment can help you correct your mistake.

I think it depends on you because base on my experience short trade would only give you a small amount of profit but at least you could have the many in a short period of time.
While in the long term investment sometimes you could double or triple your investment and sometimes you get even more.

It depends on when you want to take profits. If you do not take profit  when you invest, then long time investment is good. Because the risk in the short time is too much, compared to long time. And at the sort times you can not be sure that you can get back with profits that you have invested. But there is a hope in long time, that can profit.And long time sites stay for many days . So my Favorite Long Time.

Trading can give huge profit for short time. Trading making good profit and long term also brings big smiles at the end so choose wisely.

Short term investing is good for people who need money right now for something, in other cases at my opinion better to invest on long term because of low risks and high profit.

Both you will gain profit for a long term holder you will benefit up to 1000 maybe if you are a patient person that hold coins, and in short term you can benefit in times 100 profit, maybe it depends on your capability which is best suite for you, if you are long time trader you will profit on both of them no matter what. It depends on your situation. Some people can make good predictions about changes in the price of bitcoin
Well, Both of these ventures have their particular points of interest and detriments. Why numerous accept long haul and here and now is a couple, that is on the grounds that everybody must utilize that kind of speculation for himself. Like a footwear that would be unbalanced when just 1 being used. Day trading can be done to earn quick profit but you should have experience in that field because it's not really easy

Currently, I am doing a swing trading because I am still accumulating bitcoin which I plan to hold for the long term. I am also accumulating ETH because these two coins are my two must haves when it comes to long term holding. Many would say that holding is much profitable but it depends still on your strategy if you are willing to wait until such time the coin you hold goes to the moon or you will take advantage of price swings. As for me, I am more comfortable of trading it from time to time than waiting for the day it would shoot up.

 You can select some potential co-crypto in the top 20 altcoin to lead on coinmarketcap. It is a community that has huge community so it will grow strongly in the future. Due to the volatility of the market, short-term investment is very risky for your assets. Base on my experience regarding investing , I'm really in favored to long  than short term or day trading because it has a simple strategy ,effort less and almost a 100% assurance of your investments

I usually trade based on the value of an altcoin and the news about Crypto. The Crypto market is always heavily influenced by Fomo or FUD.
So I usually update the information very quickly and place a sell order before the coin goes down. That strategy has helped me minimize the risk of investing.
