Many people could consider short-term gains, but of course the best advice is to keep holding your bitcoin for the long term.
So whatever they do should be based on your goals for buying bitcoin. Of course it doesn't matter, if it's the best decision. You can take advantage of short-term strategies to make profits, while you can also take advantage of long-term volatility to make bigger profits. Both strategies are profitable depending on how you organize your strategy.
But as someone who is like that when trading, I can say that I am making x10 more from just holding, because in that situation I buy when it is low and know what I have to do and I keep holding it for a long time as well. When you do that, it is quite impossible for you to lose, in order to lose you have to sell when it goes down and I don't do that, I end up holding it and wait for it to go back up again in the future, doesn't matter if it's a week or a year.
