All in this forum know the answer for this one.For long term altcoin for sure,because in that we can buy a huge for less amount of dollars. For short term, bitcoin is the best answer .This is the known truth.We can see 1000$ variation in bitcoin price in one or two day .But this is not possible in altcoin.
This is the reason behind bitcoin is best one for short term.

Hey guys, which do you guys think is the most favourable coins for long and short trading strategies for the remainder of 2018?

Opinions, please!

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

The most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on Pre-ICO stage right now, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/future-of-privacy-ethereum-meta-foundation-of-anonymous-e-marketplace-2659058

For me the best for longterm and shorterm is ripple.  Waves,  ethereum,  litecoin,  qtum,  taas, komodo and for sure you will gain a lot of profit after few years of waiting and if you want to shorterm hold it for few months only.  It's your choice if you want to hold your coins for shorterm  or longterm. But if you think the price is good you can sell it and if you can make good profit it is good because they have  consequences if you wait more the price decrease.

It's obvious that the most suitable coins for longterm investments are ones with the biggest capitalization. All other alts are bounded to them and their volatility affect the price of alts. For short investments, alts are more suitable though, because they have more chances to multiply their value considering the lower price per token.

I usually prefer long term investments. For 2018, I most confident that the coin is Ethereum.
Apart from that, neo and waves are among the coins I trust.

If you mean 6-12 months or more when saying long term, the answer is ETH and BTC actually. If you mean shorter periods like 1 week or 1-2 months, the answer can be found in tokens of good projects.
uniquely ethereum and Bitcoin. That's just Bitcoin is a lot more risky than an ethereal.
 But nevertheless, I would still prefer these coins, because their capabilities are quite promising.

All coins that have a small price (under 1$) are perfect forlong-term investment. I don't like short because it's difficult for me.

In my opinion it is short for 2018, but long when you can get free airdrop, for example deeponion.

Bitcoin is good for long-term invesment because it has nice expected return based of its value for the past year. It is also similiar to ethereum, neo, litecoins etc. These coins is where we are going to be in the future. So invest now for long-term ans hodl until such point that your invesment doubles.

It is always better to stay long in bitcoin and similar better altcoins like ethereum, litecoin, neo etc.
It is always better to do quick trades in small unknown altcoins as market depth isn't great and coins are risky to hold.

At the risk of sounding like a rookie, am really curious to know if there are other causes of pump and dumps and the nosedive of certain cryptos. I am well aware that in the traditional capital investment circles, media is the ultimate determinant. As long as things stay off media, things could go really well for a long time. But in crypto, it seems more sporadic and while you could be sitting one moment, the prices could shoot up to a new ATM, and then bears could turn up the heat almost instantaneously.

I am not so much into short term right now. I think it is unwise to go to that strategy since my coins are bought last year and they have incur losses already. So I am prepared to just hodl them long term, until such time that they have already gained back what they have lost in the recent red days. I have ETH, ADA, Waves, ETC, AVT, SC, and VTC. If you want short term with altcoins and Bitcoin right now, you may go ahead actually since we are in red days right now.

For me what i can advise is to balance your portfolio, do some diversification in order for you to optimize more profit. What i mean is to allot some percentage maybe a huge percentage to BTC. Then distribute it to alts with promising platform. with this technique whatever crypto goes breakout you will be on a win win situation my friend. For sure all the cryptos will take it's ATH soon so you must be vigilant and observe the market wisely.

That's a valid insight. In fact, I have probably 55% of my crypto stash in bitcoin and distributed the remaining to alts. Although what I do with alts is look out for promising ICO platforms and get in early.

I still choose bitcoin as the most favorite coins for a long term because in my opinion, bitcoin will increase higher in the future and I see many people save their bitcoin for a long term. and for short trading strategies for the remainder of 2018, maybe I will choose a coin that has a good fast moving in the market, good volume, especially for the oldest coin like litecoin, dash, ethereum, zcl, zec. but I see a good chance for neo to be the next coin that will increase high in the future.

Before investing in other coin. Try to invest in the most popular coin, like bitcoin and ethereum. Using this you can assure big profit. After investing in this coin try now the other promising coin like LTC, BCH, NEO and etc. But before investing make sure to read all about this, this will help you to know them better.
Then what ever happen, just hold and be patient untill you earn big profit.

But after studying some trends, what I see is that these newer coins tend to pump faster and at astronomical indices. While those top coins, do so like a steady heart beat.
That's true and it is hard to say which digital assets we should invest for long and short term. There are a lot of altcoins now and some are pumping in a short period of time. So, we really don't know which crypto that we should hold. But for bitcoin, I can say that we can actually invest in a short term period because we can see its value so quick to go up and down.

The pump can help in Short term investments. The strategy can work, as long as new coins can sustain pump and dump circles. But I would also suggest people hunt for scalable ICOs ready for exchange market.

Nobody said EOS? The process has like 2 and a half months left. I'm expecting a doubling in that time.

EOS is not a bad crypto, it promises to be better and more scalable than Ethereum. But considering how long Ethereum has been in the system, it is most likely not going to happen in the "2 months" speculative period. But if it does turn out to be a 2x coin like you said in two months time, then it's worth having now. I think I should add that to my stash now.

Haha - please don't quote me in two months. I'm only repeating what I understand to be the case. It's my principle for moving a lot to EOS recently.

Edit: Typo

I understand. But I really think EOS has potential for scaling. But it might not stand a chance when Ethereum scales soonest. Am expecting Ethereum 2.0 to be out soon and that should be a game changer.
