Which do you prefer?

Hello Everyone, want to ask few questions here.

Short term or Long term investment?
Which is more profitable to you?
What coins do think that is good for long term now?

Feel free to comment your ideas and opinions.

I think that at this point you should only invest in the short term and not invest in the long term, you can see that the market is bearish in the long term so the bitcoin price will be difficult to recover strongly. And probably everything will get worse as the bitcoin prices are dropping sharply.

I think the bitcoin price will fall to $ 900 in 2018.

If you have spare money that you do not going to need it in the near future, long term investment and HODLing may be good. But I do not think it is a good practice to make long term investments in crypto currency.

I always trade through the market flow and don`t consider to hold a token for a long time because when the market falls than every other coin falls with it by closing the chance to sell and buy from bottom again.

I think it is totally our choice that whether we want to go for long term investments or short term investments.Long term investments require a lot of patience and a lot of our trust on the coin in which we are investing because for the time we will hold, we will have to face many ups and downs.In case of short term investments we don't hold for a long time. Buying and selling is done on regular basis.I often go for long term investments.I prefer holding my coins and let them grow as much as they can so that I can get maximum out of my investments.The longer we will hold our coins the more profit we will earn because cryptos really has bright future ahead.So I prefer long term investments.

In my own opinion, short term investment and long term investment are not comparable because you can always trade in the market in order to earn profit depending on when you are interested.

Honestly, I prefer holding in long term than trading in short term because I'm lack of information about the market. If you just get news from whitepapers, that means you can be lost your money because it is too late

like from the charts you display here with long-term trading you can get a lot of profits but you have to wait until the price goes back up and that's very long, whereas for short-term trading you can earn daily profit even though only slightly.

Longterm trading is profitable but it depends on what coins you are holding suppose if you hold any dead altcoins then there is no use to hold it for long term. Only Bitcoin and ETH have 100% chance to give us good profit in the future remaining coins are risky. But i like short term trading because i will get many opportunities suppose if i lose money in one coin in another coin i will earn back.

It depend on you, If you have knowledge about crypto and have good infomation, you should trade. But if you dont have anything like me, just HOLD, choose top 20 crypto, buy few coin at the deep and waiting go to the moon Grin

If I think long-term and short-term investments are a more profitable income platform because we can fix fast trading so we will get more profits in a short time. Because I can separate which will be good for the long term and good for the short term.

I preferred a long term investment, slowly but surely!

Long term investment or will I say long term trading is a lot better anyway if you actually have more to invest. It is better because when trading, you really do not need a lot of indicators, no much noise that comes with daily fluctuations and you can easily make trend following decisions with candles alone which most time, you are actually going to be making quality ones. With short term, it is the other way round and you will be making lots of decisions within a short time frame.

with short-term trading I can get a lot of profit and with short-term trading you avoid the risk of loss.

How you will get lots of profits and how you will avoid losses ? You are just contradicting the basic facts of long term investments. Long term investments are known for assured profits which may be a lot some times and with long term investments usually comes with less risks.

I think we should invest in the long-term because almost all of the coins are going down a lot. We will buy more altcoin at lower prices than before. And when the market recovers, we will make a lot of money

Both is profitable, but it's up to the person itself what strategy he/she would like to use here's the thing in doing investments always remember short term is equals to low risk and low profit while the long term investment high risk but high reward.

So just base on that.

As the market has been constantly dropping, so short-term investment wouldn't be profitable for the time being. You have to go for long-term investment and hold your coin, it will be more profitable when the market goes in upward trend.

Well, you can be just making out this as advice from those who are investing or trading in some coin. Reason is, for you it may be different to get day trading and getting in so complex thing but for some other person this would be the best thing he can do. There can come a big difference in mindset and thinking and goals that one is carrying along the way. So simple say your point don’t advice it.

I am bitcoin investor starting at q1 2014 and hold for long term is really worked for me. Short term investment will only work when the market condition at very bullish condition. For market like this we need long term vision and really be very carefull when we want to put our money on some project. But if this year we can comeback to $10k per bitcoin then short term investment will worked too. Long term for me is 4 years and short term is 6 month at least.

I definitely agree. Short term and long term investment into bitcoin will primarily depend on its market status and value depending upon the circumstances of each. They can be both utilized at the same time depending on the nature and time that you acquired/sold your bitcoins since people may yield short term income if its market value suddenly skyrocketed without any given notice.

For long-term, most investors generally are inclined into this perspective since they believe that bitcoins would be the future of cryptocurrency. Although the value might be volatile, they are at least hoping that its market value would reach heights if they use time as an advantage towards this opportunity.
Personally, it would be best if you allocate and diversify your investments depending upon the your need as an individual. If you are not in a rush in any way, then it would be best if you focus into long-term perspective but as a rule of thumb, never sell your investments to a price lower from what you acquired them.

I use both. If you want to say I want to save one, then I will say you can buy for long term investment. Long-term investment is possible to get good profits. One thing to remember - be patient, patience will not be lost. Then it is possible to succeed.

I have both. But since I am not a full time trader. I prefer coins for Long Term. You do not have to check it everyday or more often.
I think my Worx and Priv coins are good for holding long term.

For me both of that is profitable but for me I'm prefer long-term investment because we know every coins is growing up and there's a potential in every year will changing the price and goes up. Bitcoin is good for long-term investment because that coins is king And trusted.

If you know crypto trading and can trade affectively then you can make big money in short time, because in trading you do not need to hold your coins for long time. You can earn profits on daily basis, but for that experience and time is mandatory.

You make it seem like generating profits through trading is a piece of cake, but it definitely isn't, not even for the experienced traders. And there is no such a thing as profits on a daily basis, that's just false.

If even the most badass wall street traders aren't able to profit every day, how on earth are people trading crypto supposed to profit on a daily basis? Don't believe anyone telling you they do, it's just not true.

The crypto market is one big casino where get rich quick noobs try to outperform each other, but the market movers there are the only entities actually making profits. Everyone else is just tossing a coin and either win or lose.
