I want to invest with $ 2000, and I will choose 5 altcoins. Maybe one of them is Cardano. Is the short term more likely to gain profit or vice versa with the long term? Thank you.

Considering the state of the current market, only the experienced day traders can benefit from short term investment. If you are not good at day trading, they it would be better you buy and hold it for long term.

non the of the above at the moment.. market is still down..just hodling my tokens till now

Everything has their own plus and minus, the most important thing for me is balance, divide the money into two, one in short term portfolio and the other in long term, because we can not authoritatively say that we have hit the bottom of he bear market,and if not a dump of BTC to $1k region will result in more than 50% loss in your portfolio

No, I disagree with you. Not only short even the long itself no longer profitable if you do not know how to read our current situation right now. We have no idea whether will we see another pump or recover again in the future or not.
for now, the best thing that we need to do is wait. Wait for the market to change or wait for the trend to change, it is not too late to join the train once everything goes back to normal, stay calm and wait for that moment.

Base on your request, you must ensure to checkout  and research about advice and suggestions you receive, because most suggestions here will be biase, I want to suggest some coins am investing  in, Checkout Eterbase on idex exchange, fantom, XYO and  pundi X.  Ensure you invest what you can afford to loss. Ensure you invest a large percentage in ETH  and  Bitcoin.

now it's better to do long-term trading, the market is still uncertain.
I need a stable bitcoin price so that altcoin is more attractive to trade.

What matters is to know when to get in and when to get out. Imagine people who bought BTC at around 5K, held it through the time it reached 20K up to the time it's now 3.5K... To me, I see this kind of thing poor planning. Have your target and once you hit it, don't be so greedy, cash out and live to trade another day

Short or medium term investment is much better, I could not agree if cardano will be included on your list consider it has lost its demand and i willl try to consider the new coin that gets a lot of transaction to be our next investment like BTT.

I do not recommend it for short-term investments because it will not make your investment better where the current market conditions are very uncertain, rarely do people get good profits in current short-term investments, yes, maybe they can turn around, maybe a lot is done by other investors is investing in a very long period of time until the conditions are better and more advanced than now in the future, indeed by buying now very well at a very cheap price like a very good cardano potentially will get better in the future, don't waste this opportunity and regret when prices start to rise, make the best use of it, like buying potentially good coins in the future.

Long term investment always helped us sustain the current bearish market, and could correct the discrepancies of unpredictable price trend. However, there's some scenario of day trading which always have gaining frequency sometimes when a certain coin demand will become uptrend.

a year ago it was possible to earn short-term investments in just a few days you could multiply your money, but in today's market more profitable is long-term investment for obvious reasons

at this rate, the situation is still not possible to take profits either short term or long term because now the market moves suddenly and tends to move downward. Not the coin problem chosen but indeed some will not be in accordance with the previous analysis

I personally prefer long-term investing in Bitcoin, because I can't master short-term trading, because I often make mistakes and result in losses that I get, so I prefer to hold my assets.

Cardano is not a bad choice.
For a long turn, I also would recommend you EOS and NPXS because they are having real ecosystems with a real products.
In short terms, you could try your luck with the BTT hype and try to make some quick money.

You have $2000 maybe if you want to pick short term, maybe with bigger percentage from all your money. if long term we look something that can gain bigger profit and if bigger capital in short term, we can gain big profit too.

Dear Op. It is hard to answer your question in short. Money grows like trees. Some trees grow better after you trim the tree. Some trees dont like trimming.
Long or short term investment depends on the criteria of your project and the then market situation. If your token has nice daily trading volume, high volatility and you have enough source to collect info about the project then short term investment is a great way. Everytime you cycle and recycle the money, money will grow.

If you want your profit in your daily life then short time investment will be the good idea or if you want to choose your investment for your future use are your next generation then it will be a long term investment is good for your life but both investment need more research and good choice so if you don't pick the right currency for investment then both are not profitable

Seeing the current market conditions is certainly difficult to expect to get profit if we only invest a short term, I will buy cheap coins and have good potential in the future like eos, ripple, stellar, nxt and waves.

It doesn't matter if it is short term or long term investment as long as you gain profits on your investment. And also include Ethereum (if it is not included) on your 5 altcoins that you're going to invest in. There's no need for long explanations but it will surely rise again at the near future as there are many projects that are using its platform.

If you consider the current market situation, definitely it is a good time to invest in long term market because almost all coin lost their value more than 90%. So, in the long term, those price will recover. So, it's better to invest for a long term now.

Short or long term in my opinion is relative because the benchmark in investment is our investment is a target profit that we will get. not just for a long time or just for a while

Find coins that have low correlation to the price of eth. This means ERC20 tokens are out of the question. I would suggest you buy litecoin as it seems profitable on the long run. Buy exrn if you are looking for short-term profit, needless to say that it's highly risky.

Cardano is potential coin and I think that is good for longterm. You can search for the 4 coins that you invested and better to invest is the cheap potential coin because you have only $200 in your pocket. Don't choose shorterm now because the best to choose is the longterm because of this market now.

For now you better choose for long-term investment. I think it will be more profitable and you will get a bigger profit.
Yeah, but you must be patient for that.

My advice, you also have to buy Bitcoin.  ;)

Should be good investment for long term but in some cases before you reap the rewards, project gets abandoned by team.

better short term. if indeed you have $ 2000, why don't you buy BTT at binance? if you bought it a while ago, maybe now you will get a lot of profits. in my opinion, it's not right to hold long-term coins for now. but if you can be patient, just go ahead.

You can divide your funds for two parts: one for long term and another for short term investment (i.e. 70/30). For long term choose Cardano and another trusted projects. And for short term try to make profits in more risky and volatile coins.

Given the current state of the market, I think it is more correct to divide investments into short-term and long-term ones. If you are an uncertain trader, you can use bots.

It's actually not possible to predict the success either in the long or short term,starting off with 2000  dollars is not such a bad idea and considering the fact you'll be diversifying it across different altcoins.in the short run you could gain one or two profits,but it will be more advisable if you can keep them all for the long run,then there are higher chances of more profits

What are you talking about? Do you even know how trading works buddy? Short term and Long term investing are different and you need to decide which is better for you based on your personal preferences.

Most people prefer short term trading in order to earn quick profits, but I personally don't prefer this and instead prefer long term trading since I can stay patient for a long period of time.

Fortunately $2000 is enough to invest partially in some top 5 or much better the top 20 altcoins that suits your desire. Additionally In my opinion the top altcoins are the most active coins with regards to trading and transactions history. The bottom altcoins are the less in demands. Choosing which is your altcoins pick is important to grab the right one.

I think its hard to invest now in short investment with this type of market's situation. It's good to invest in a good reputation coins such as bitcoin and ethereum because they are both good in a long term investment.

If your capital is $ 2000 it will be better to invest long term. Short-term investment is only for those who want to take small profits with small capital as well.

You can try it both mate, since you're still newbie in both side. So that you can actually wanted by your own and learn from all by yourself. Don't  afraid  to get mistake because that is normal, especially  when you're making an investment  here in crypto.

Long-term retention has become more risky, of course this is the place to be, but in order to recoup the losses, and then with the advent of the bulls again go to the old strategy, you must first apply day trading and get good capital.

I think the short term investment would give you faster gains as long as you know how to predict short-term market pricing. You must not have a weak hand so you won't panic during abrupt rise and fall of market price. Long-term on the otherhand does not require you to closely monitor the market but wait later on when the project has developed and stabilized.

Cardano is down, but Tron actually has an increase, short term investment can find out the value of coins is more observant and curious every hour. Long-term investment may not matter for a short period of time. Then focus on short-term investments more observant.

You don't have to rush investing because good new altcoins will come out so build your portfolio on both old coins and new coins ,leave some part of your money apart for future projects ,cardano is a must for crypto investors too but right now too many can't go wrong coins are out like tron, waves ,ontology etc and new badass one like bittorrent token

The current bearish market reality suggest for a long term investment so at the long run the market table will turn green meaning more profit for every investor, be wise look before you leap.

I think either of the two is a risky move. We cannot got into short term investments with this type of market now, also for long term investment, there is no assurance that the price of the tokens qe would invest to is going to increase.

Indeed, market conditions give us a choice for long-term investment, but for now, choosing an altcoin and having a small profit is also there. Short-term investments do require energy to be able to monitor and benefit to be focused and continue to pay attention to the market to be able to make good decisions with $ 2000 capital.

Short-term I would say that you're only likely to gain money by trading. I don't think we're starting a bull-run any time soon.

Long-term I think now is a good entry point, and prices for good coins - yes, Cardano amongst them - will rise. It is also worth considering other coins, ETH  as another smart contract platform, XRP as a faster payments solution, and BTC because it is most resistant to price drops.

Only in the long run is a great chance. There is an opportunity to study the market for a specific coin, and it is easy to earn short on $ 100-200. But your contribution in any case will be justified.

This is the best time to accumulate more altcoins and hold for long term. Of course choose  projects that have a high chance to succeed, always do a research before invest. I prefer to choose long term investment than short term because short term investment will gives you too much stress it is bad for health.

In my opinion the optimal alignment is:
- short-term investments or trading, in top 50 cryptocurrency;
- long-term investments for tokens of projects that collected hard caps up to $ 20-30 million. I recommend taking them on the stock exchange after the completion of the ICO, in order to avoid risks.

It still all depends on how well the project is. There is no easy money, gaining at an instant means someone losses at an instant also. it better to check out what's better project out there. Most legit project takes time to realized its profit, still prefer to gain something in process. Since you decide to invest in multiple coin, I suggest you to store it safely. you can choose a multi-asset wallet like hodler which is the only open source one as of the moment. Good luck with your investment.

I think ADA is for the longterm investment . If i was you i would choose 30% BTC , 20% ETH , 10% ADA and rest 40% probably some low marketcap tokens / or new projects like Holochain / Bidooh . Quite cheap currently , but who know maybe will be even cheaper later =D

If you don't need the $2,000 for any future need, just an extra saving, then go on with your investment. For non-experienced traders, better to just buy then hold until the market goes up again. Long-term investment is more suitable for most investors right now. Think of this as a time deposit except for that there is monthly interest.

The current market state suggests that a short term trade is better than long term. But it is still a genius decision to have portions for long term period. What I personally do is I trade around 60% of my funds in short-term and the rest for longer period and I will change the strategy when the market state changes.

As a rule, everyone chooses differently, but personally I am satisfied with the long-term prospect, because I believe that the market in the future will grow very much!

It depends on how the situation will develop, if you see that you can already make a profit, why not do it, why wait and take risks

When viewed from a short term style, Strat, FCT is a good choice. I guess. With the capital you have, you can play longterm such as Ripple, XLM, NEO. for now with market conditions it would be nice to short term.

That depends on how the tide will go with the altcoins you are chosing and how much knowledge you have in trading. Long term investment are effective for those investors who make trading as a part time job while short term investments are effective for full time traders. They are both profitable but long term investment is more profitable depending on how the team will promote the project.

It all depends on your capabilities. If you have the opportunity to invest $2000 for a long time, you can conduct a similar experiment. But I think that we need to build a strategy based on the current situation in the cryptocurrency market. At the moment, there is a good opportunity to profitably form your portfolio and wait for bullrun to make a profit and revise the further plan of their actions.

Cardano will be a good choice for short-term and long-term investment. The other coins will be TRON, XRP, EOS, STELLAR, NEO, that is a low price of coins except for NEO because NEO is more than $5. Actually, there are too many potential coins you can buy for the investment, and in these situations, sometimes we are confusing to buy the coins. But I hope you can analyze by yourself and you don't need to follow my advice or other else before you make an analysis.

It's hard to invest right now, only the brave will invest at this point in time, but if you prefer to invest right now then go for the top coin in the market, probably the top 5 coins in the market, they have support platform and of course volume.

If you have patient to hold for longer why not go for long term investment anytime bull run will happen and I'm sure your money will be multiply.

for now I prefer short term or maybe daily trading. Long-term holding is very unprofitable at the bear market. so it's better to sell when we have made a profit.

remember the longer we hold it will be more risky, the market may suddenly fall without us underlie. so it's better to be safe than trying to get big profits but at risk.

Well for me, i would advice long term trading, this is because i do not know how to trade but if you are good at day trading, you can go short term. Long term is best for me considering the state of the market also.

both are good, but my advice is better short term. remember the market is currently bad. Long term will only make you more worried about the market conditions. maybe there are still many good coins for long-term holdings such as bitcoin, ethereum and others. but that does not guarantee that there is no other fall before the big pump. so it's better to trade daily for this year.

Follow market movements and learn well to find the right coins for the long term and short-term investments. One of the steps must indeed be able to be studied properly so that it can reduce the risks that are large. I think all coins are good for investment if you can manage and use opportunities well.

A small portion of your portfolio can also be stable coin, It protects your investment but your profit might not be significant. The choice of where to invest is the toughest challenge of the space in the bear market. Bittorent that looks like the best ICO in recent days can be in a terrible dump in subsequent weeks. It is not pessimism,it is the nature of the market now. The only advantage now is buying at the bottom or close to the bottom, you risk for loss is very low

I don't think that we have good coins that will be profitable in doing a short term investment as the market has lesser demand daily. If the price of bitcoin will dumps to a new bottom this will makes those many altcoins suffer more losses which is not good for those long term holder. Invest only to the amount that you can afford to hold longer until the bull run.

I think that if you invest in top10 altcoins you can do both... prices are very low so if market will rise again you can make short term profits and maybe sell just part of your gains and hold the other part for long term investment.

It is too difficult for you to invest in the short term in the current market. The market is too bad and goes down all the time, It's best to buy and hold for at least 3-6 months if you want to see some profit in your account

Actually it all depends on what you have planned. If you think about getting profits every day, of course you have to have a short-term investment. so that the funds can be quickly invested elsewhere. And if you invest in the long term, of course you think which coin is suitable for long-term investment.

If you trade well, you can make money from trading, with me if I don't trade well, I will hold that coin, holding it is easier than trading because we just need to keep it and have to choose a good time to buy it

I prefer short term investment because you can get your profit or loss as soon as you leave it behind. Long term investment is for the greed.

Look like you is a new cryptocurrency investor, my suggestion is don't tried short term unless you know that what are you doing, look like short term allow to gain quickly profit, but it's also easy to burn all of your funds, then i prefer long term investment in current market situation.

If you are not experienced trader then I will say that buying and holding will be the best suite for you especially since the whole market is in a huge dip so it is a really good chance to pick up bags in some strong coins, there is a lot of strong coins in a dip right now besides Cardano I will not recommend any but you can simply make a fast search and you can easily come up with 5 coins and split your initial capital on them that will be better than put all in one basket.

Yes! I am also holding my altcoin for still bad market. He asked for investment in five altcoin. ADA is one of those. Maybe he like ADA coin very much. I have ADA also. ADA coin can be increase price and other coin like EOS, NEO also can be increase.

actually both are very good if managed properly. If you want to get quick profits, short-term investments are more suitable and vice versa

If you don't want to take risks, long-term investment is the best choice. Short-term investments are very risky except you have skills in trading.

In the meantime, you can definitely get nice profits with short trades. People just want to earn a lot of money in a short time. I find it more appropriate to make solid progress rather than doing so.

in my opinion, for now the right choice is to invest in the long term. because for now making short term investments is not a good idea. You can buy coins like ethereum or bitcoin

Just do intraday trade, for right now holding coin is worthless if you don't know about where it will go. Better you find a man who can teaching you about basic trading, like Money Management, technical and some Psychology.

If you are a good trader, with the current market conditions i guess you can try a short term investment, if not it's better to invest for long term. Both scenarios present risks but for me ( i am not a good day trader ) the long term investment feels a bit more secure even though i am aware that the coins i have can fall in a glimpse.

Constant-term investment. Do not buy something and sell it right away, do not aim to be a day trader, day traders are people who work tirelessly to figure out which coin will be the best for that day and it takes a lot of experience and effort to be like them and even after all that they still fail sometimes. Do not buy a coin all at once and wait until it goes up, you can end up buying at the peak prices and hope it will return to those prices to just break even, it will not help you at all, it is not a good way.

Just invest periodically to couple coins and do not put all your money in there at once. Every month just put up a small portion of your money into the coins you like and do that constantly, that way if it goes up you will make profit and if it goes down you will buy more from cheaper prices.

From my point of view long term investment always gives good returns. There will be many ups and downs with the systems but long term period will recover everything. Long term duration also confirms the ability, reliability and flexibility of the token over other coins.
For short term investment, I still consider it as trading. Sure, short term investment can give good gains but also there are chancess of losses. If we have enough time to follow the market and enough money to trade and even to adopt losses, short term investment in not an bad option.

Short term trading is headache for inexperienced trader and mastering day trading is not easy in first year. Long term investing requires emotional control of yourself and minding your own business. Smart money flows to potential projects but not all projects are able to take this advantage.

The crypto market is looking dull for the past one year. I guess you have to set expectation to hold the coins for the long term. But it is a good time to get in the market now. Good choice.

You should definitely know how to trade and how to analyse the market, because if you look at statics 90 percent of short term traders are facing huge difficulties in making profits, because the market is still very unpredictable.

considering  the state of the current market , so ought to divide the money into tow . one in short term porfolio and the other in long term for more profits

I prefer long-term investments. I study and invest in projects that, in my opinion, will become very strong in a few years.

I believe that the long term investment is not something wise to do in this days unless you are too rich. (If i am too rich now i would buy milllions $ of ETH for sure, because its price already lost too much) Trading is the best option today. If possible and if you know how to do it ofcourse, you should trade daily just like i am trying to do in this days.

Hopefully you haven't lost money in this market and caught with the cost dollar averaging mentality you are best to wait for run-ups and technical analysis definitely has a part to play and it really does even if the market is highly manipulated you work with the trend. You should practice TA have stops in place only invest small amounts of your $2000 the market isn't going anywhere any gains on your chosen coins will be for the short term. Take profits at 10, 15 and if lucky enough 20 percent. Long-term this bear market is expected to last if BTC stays above $3000 to November 2019 at least or longer don't be in a hurry to invest the full $2000!  

Get in the market now and hold, it will be profitable especially for the newbies. Short term trading is risky, so you have to be ready for that while trading for long is more reliable for a busy person like me. Patience will work always so learn to have that.

it looks boring, especially if you have waited a long time but Crypto is still red, but you cannot just give up, because later the market will recover.
when the price drops, it can be used to buy a lot of Altcoin, because it uses that moment well and doesn't need to panic. Short-term or long-term investments are all at risk, so in my opinion do both if you have a good strategy and if you also have courage.

Yes, I also like to invest in the long term, because investing with the best choice of coins will surely give us peace when we invest in them, because this Cryptocurrency is a valuable asset for the future. I am very addicted to investing, because when that Bitcoin rose very sharply. Hopefully the Bitcoin price will rise again as soon as possible.

basically the two methods will be able to provide you with profits, all depending on the coins and the strategies you choose to do. just clever you in making decisions to use short-term and long-term strategies.

My advice should be to use both of these strategies with the capital you have, look for coins that have the potential for large increases in the future as long-term investments and coins that have a fast movement for your short-term investment, so that the profits earned will be more big.

I am 100% in the long-term investment camp I do not have the time to invest in watching a trading screen for 10 hours a day and essentially playing Hi/Lo with my funds. If you have the patience then the long game is far less stressful and also less prone to errors and losses. You need to be disciplined however and stick to targets when it comes time to sell, or watch for problems to guard from losses.

In this market condition, I would rather do short trades than long trades. Hodling for a long time does not guarantee that you will earn a lot. I would rather target to earn 1% per day that think of earning 15% after a month of hodling your bought coin. Price of coins nowadays is just moving sideways. Price may jump a bit but not enough to make you want to sell right away, so just focus on hitting small profit. Its better than nothing.

It's hard to make a short term profit because the market is slowing and going down, if you trust the future of the market, then go for long term go for coins that are proven to make a profit for holders like the top coins in the top 10, you are sure to win by picking them.

If you want to invest in altcoins then you must be prepared to make a long-term investment. Altcoin prices usually move for a long period of time so that short-term investments are not suitable. cardano is one of the good coins, ranking 12 in the coinmarketcap is an illustration that cardano has received good support from the public. Don't hesitate to invest and make sure that you join the community that deals with the coin so that you will know the direction of the coin cardano movement better.

Both long-term and short-term investments certainly have their own strengths or advantages, for long-term investments it will be better to invest in bitcoin, you will get good profits in the future, for short-term investments you can invest in altcoin, choose a good altcoin made an investment, of course the results are not as maximal as a long-term investment but still you will get a profit, but remember any investment certainly has risks, and you must be prepared for these risks

if we able picking up potential coins in market that has low price , we could take profit in short term.just play buy and sell in few days and we will make profits.but we need to understand technical analisys that used to identify best level to entry and exit from market.

I'm not sure that the short term will be able to give satisfactory results for this period. many investors seek safe if taken care of for the long term because the value of the crypto movement is difficult to guess. Cardano is a good coin and with long term is more promising.

For me, I would like to buy the ETH for my long-term investment, anyway, I don't trust any new coins in the market, there are  many new project and new coins listing in the exchange, but I don't it better than ETH or more.

For short-term investments you need a lot of experience in trading. At the moment,you can earn in the long term and in the short term as the market is now at the bottom, in my opinion. In fact, now there are mysterious things in the market, coins jump in price by huge percent, it seems to me that the market is very speculative. But I still stick to long-term investment as for 10 years the market has shown its best and I think that this is not the end !

I think the long-term investment is more profitable. Seeing slow and almost immovable market movements. So, if a short-term investment will only spend time monitoring the market.

If you have the knowledge on technical analysis and fundamental analysis, and you have time to do it then go for trading. However if you don't have knowledge on this and very busy, I suggest go for long term on the projects you really believe that will excel in the future.

Now the current situation of the market is a very bad idea for short term trading because suddenly the prices are dropping in the market makes us loose value. So instead of the short term, it is better to hold them for the long term until our desired target price is reached.

Right, with the condition of the market that is still red until now it certainly has a big impact, it is difficult to get profit if we use short term, and I prefer long term because I'm sure the market will recover soon.

If I still have so much as that to invest, I would rather invest in other coins that have the likelihood of giving me short term profit, because at the moment, invest in cardano either with that amount or even less, might not bring substantial amount of profit in short term. Then I cannot also tell or predict what its long term investment would be,  because you may not be able to predict what will happen in future.

I think both of them are also good you can invest.
because for me to invest in the short term, I will invest in altcoins, and for the long term I will invest in bitcoin and ethereum, because for us it is also a good way to get more profits in the future

I think long-term and short-term investments can be done and if you are careful in choosing coins and already proficient in trading it doesn't seem to be a problem, this sideaway market situation can be used to trade daily

To me with the present state of the market,i think it is better to learn to trade on daily basis than to hodl because at this point in time might be very risky because no one can predict what we become of the future of any coin,but if you are smart enough,day trading can bring you so much profit.

because the current market price situation also shows less stable stability, I prefer long-term investment, so I'm sure it will also get more profit with more stable selling prices in the coming months.

If you look closely at the state of the market, it seems to me that the long-term perspective will be more relevant!

Some coin can give a good profit in short-term, but it's hard to select because we need to find out which coins that will increase later. Cardano is one of the coins that can bring a nice profit in short-term and long-term investment, but it depends on your strategy because the result will be different too. But maybe he can choose the top twenty coins list and make analysis form each coin so he can get a clue about which coins he needs to buy.

Longterm is really for you to gain profit but they have chances also even the shorterm you chooss you will earn more money still.

In all of the investments, long term basis is the most profitable. Just be sure the altcoins you jave chosen are legit or else you will regret it more if its long term. I also advise to have bitcoin in you even just a small amount. Its good to buy now that its cheap.

it is always good to go for long term investment. i would say this is the best time to invest for long term. i prefer always for long-term however i am losing money for long term investment but i still prefer the long term investment.

Basically, seeing the price of bitcoin is still low, I think I would rather make it an investment in the long run, so I also believe that I will get more profits at a higher price.

I think this varies and depend on the type of token you are looking into to invest. For me i prefer long term investment which is why i hodl just good progressive blockchain in cardano, stellar, neo and Monero
I have high believe and hopes on the 4 altcoin.

My advice is that if you will not need that money for at least 2-3 years, you should invest in long-term. Because the crypto world continues to grow. And in the future, I think token prices will reach very high prices. So I also think that long-term investment is more profitable.

Many projects are low in price at the moment. That $2000 if well invested will reap mega profits if the bear market doesn't get worse than it is currently. You can pick any of the top 10 coins on coinmarket cap and invest in the low cap ones

If your going to invest in a long term, i suggest to pick the top ten token/coin in CMC if your going for a short term pick some token that can give you a good amount of profit whenever bitcoin rises in price xrp, eos and tether is my personal choice.

My advice for you is that you should know which of the trading system you understand, if it day to day trading you are perfect at is good you do day to day trading and if it holding you are perfect at is better you embark on it.

 if you want to gain quick profits then make a short term while you have long term investment as well.  But it's very difficult mate in my opinion which is unless if you have experienced on it and enough knowledge how to prevent risky situation.  If you don't want to enter on that very difficult way to gain profits then focus on short term to assure everything will be fine.  

I think you should divide your money into 2 amounts. 1 for long-term investment and 1 for investment in ICO or short-term trading. Don't use all your money for long-term investment because it often makes you quite insecure. That is my experience.
There are currently many great ICO projects and you should invest in those projects right now. such as Beaxy, it's a pretty great project and it's establishing a quality trading platform. It is being evaluated that the ICO project has a great influence at the present time. You can experience the Beaxy trading floor and you have to scream because the interface is very nice.

If that investment will take that long buying bitcoin with your money can be beneficial, the market is too wild and many coins to choose but since
you will take that long bitcoin probably brings huge value, imagine the last ATH, after couple of years and more adoptions to come your invested
money can be more than what you are expecting, who knows bitcoin turned to hundred thousand dollars or more..

Better to hold your fiat money rather than investing in crypto for now. Why? Well until now only bad news that appear to the surface so loss percentage is higher than profit percentage. But if you atill want to then don't invest in too many token so you can manage it

this question is always raised by people who are confused when going to invest, they always have between two choices between short and long term.
in fact, I can't advise you to invest in the short or long term. even with the current market.
the best choice is to ask your own self, where you are good at trading. according to the expertise you have. because it's useless if your expertise in the short term, but afraid, and choose the long term, surely your execution will not be good.

Do you have bitcoin on your stash? if not, pick it first before the other altcoins but if you insist here are my picks.

• Ethereum
• Litecoin
• Dogecoin
• Monero
• Grin

There are a lot of differences in doing long term investment and short term investment, it is the reason why you should know the best and suitable investment that you should use in order to earn profit. All of the investments here are risky so you should really know the fit investment to you.

it seems that the crypto industry is more suitable for long-term investment, because the extreme fluctuations in crypto prices are very risky if you want to get profit for the short term. for example in 2018, where during the past year there has been no increase at all until this year. that means we have to hodl for much longer.

I know about the mentioned coin and I can say it is good for short term and for long term as long as you have even small profit. Top 10 altcoins are the basic suggestions of everyone because of its marketcap and strong community.

These are two different types of investing. Short-term rather for traders, especially in a bear market. What concerns the long-term, then they include a wider range of people, because all you need is to choose the right assets.

- Indeed, holding cash for the moment is probably a better thing when everything that the market is doing is very bad for investment, each time buying is a loss, eespecially with long-term investments, many people have been waiting for a long time, many months have passed, their money has not recovered, psychological too much pressure and they ended up in huge losses. But as you say, if he still does not accept, he can participate in short-term investments, but should choose stable currencies, less and the quality is better than having too much but garbage

Be it a stock market, cryptocurrency or any other market, investment is beneficial only if it is done for a long period of time. Never buy at one single rate rather buy in chunks and its good to have a diverse portfolio that has many cryptocurrencies in it. 

The difference is actually very big, because most investors rely on short-term investments and quick profit, this is more like a casino than a real opportunity. Therefore, I see that the situation as a whole is only better in the long term.

short-term or long-term investments all depend on the expertise you have, if you have expertise in researching market and can predict prices then you should short-term investment but if you can't be patient to get a lot of profit I think long-term investment is right choice

If you expect big profits, of course long-term investment is the right choice. But if you are really afraid of the risk of large losses and cannot be patient, then you have to make short-term investments, although fortunately it may be small but safer and far from the risk of heavy losses.

If you are looking for a great deal of long-term investments should be because your income is increasingly higher. If you are investing heavily, you can also earn a large investment.

it's better to be a short-term investor because it's safer. now it is difficult to invest long term when the market does not have clarity. only fools want to try that. as long as bitcoin still shows signs of declining it is better not to try to invest long term in any altcoin.

With the constant volatility of the cryptocurrency market, I currently prefer to invest in the long term.
Obviously, the cryptocurrency market is starting to grow after a serious fall, and promising coins can now be bought at an affordable price.
After the market has fully recovered, there is confidence that the coins will increase significantly in price and by selling them you can get a good profit.

Well, on the contrary a long investment as a casino, I think short-term transactions are much safer and less brings losses in the event of a fall, this of course short-term transactions in this market is very profitable!

I would like to suggest you that if you have time then hou can trade on daily basis instead of short term and you can also go with long time but I don't think so that short term give you much profit.

ethereum does have very good potential and is very suitable if used as a long-term investment, but ethereum has a very high risk so you should remain vigilant.

Of course short-term investments are more likely to generate profits, but maybe what we get through short-term investments cannot be as large as the benefits we can get through long-term investments. But in my opinion, short-term investment is much safer and avoids the risk of large losses, while long-term investments seem to take a long time and contain the risk of very large losses.

It depends what you mean by short-term and long-term? This is one month, or one year or few years? And which profit you want to get?

Long-term investments are less risky because all market fluctuations do not matter for such investments, the main thing is the result obtained after many years of positive results.

In a market of this nature and with the rate at which some coins are growing and some plunging, I would rather go one what will give me a short term profit.
I am yet to see a point, where I will accumulate coins for long term purpose, except those I have been holding for a long time.
If you are able to wait, then cardano should be good for long term.

both are good for now. but I prefer short term because the risk is not too big. when the market is still in this state it is better to invest in short-term, if our predictions are not suitable we can sell it. so you can minimize the losses.

Thank you for your advice, I understand that in the long or short term investment certainly has advantages and disadvantages in it. And that is something that is natural, and in fact must consider the general and broad market conditions. (50 / 50) Maybe it seems to divide up a good idea, but it's too difficult for me to choose a good altcoin for now.

Why choose for a short time or a long one, you don’t bury them in a hole. Bought coins and wait for them to rise in price to an acceptable level for you - sell. That's all investing.

 ;D I guess that many continue to invest in the market. Without waiting for even the minimum vostonovleniya. I think now there are several projects that are very relevant. Waves for example. But I think now you better do an independent analysis of the market. And look for coins that continue to grow even in this market situation.

Crypto is best way to become rich in a short time. I know some guys who have become rich just by putting their money in right time in right place. So it works! Use it.

if talking about profit, long-term opportunities have greater opportunities. but if the market situation such as the long term is very risky. so I recommend for the short term. You can buy and sell when you get a profit. do not force to hold for long. but it's all back to you, this is just a suggestion.

huh? It is not game of fools who want to get rich overnight. Crypto market is volatile and even talking about doubling balance is risky. Unacceptable events happen on market and volatile market conditions will not cover your expense in case of getting caught on wrong side.

you need to invest in Bitcoin) you correctly say that in such a period it is better to bypass all altcoins.

It seems that you are right, the long term has more good potential than currently unstable market conditions to enjoy. Well, every choice and plan will definitely have the risk and nothing is easy. But at least we have a plan. Thank you for your attention.

Short term profit would be nice, but there is a little chance that an investor would cash out after a 10% of profit. This is a long-term game for me (maybe because I am young and I know that I will not be given any pension whatsoever) and I have a lot of time which I would like to use in a profitable manner. I would not look at the price and its ups and downs: if the team is active and doing their best, there is a hope for an insane spike if they are sucessful. Even though I am not into Cardano, I can not say it is a bad pick though. On the other hand, never put all your eggs into a single basket  ;). Focus on your main goal and ignore short-term patterns which will not mean a thing in 5-10 years. It might be worth zero as well, put there just some extra money and you can have fun with it, at the very least ;D.

I believe choosing short term or long term would be depends on our need on that fund. If we wish to look for quick profit then choosing the short term will be better, and vice versa. It need to be decided at the beginning of the investment phase.

For me, none of this two kind are matter... You need to set first a legit and reliable crypto project than asking if long or short term. Investment is about putting your asset on those worthy projects and the time is just a part of it.

I don't think any coins/altcoins is worth investing at the moment for short term because bear market is still ongoing and maybe will last few more months or years. Well i think cardano is a good choice of investment for long-term.

Both short-term and long-term investments have the potential to generate a lot. It depends on how far you can save your money in the right coins. However, if you pay attention to the current bear market development, your decision to plant in several fields is a safe choice.

In the current market, hard to expect short term profits so invest only those funds that you can spare for the long term. Once market starts moving up strongly, then short-term trading can work.

You might as well check if the altcoin that you are investing to is worth it because you know that you will be also supporting the developers, marketing team, etc. Why do you think that cardano is a good choice? I know that there are a lot of people trying to support it but why?

---

I think it's still mostly based on the investment choices that you have. As long as you are investing the amount that you are willing to lose, what's the rush right? What do you mean by plant? Lol.

---

You could also trade during the bearish market, you could short the market with margin trading. Why not focus on that? It could still work.

I think with the current condition the market, better if you spend your money to buy altcoin with long term period investment. CMIIW.

The big increase that occurred in 2017 is certainly not short term, users have to wait more than 8 years, and I think so too, it takes a long time to be able to get big profits so I suggest to make crypto a long-term investment.

For me i prefer on long term investment, because for long term you can make more profit and you just predict 1x for the season, than you invest your monwy on short-term, i think you must try to invest your money on long term like me.

Considering the current market movement, it's better to day trading if you have some good knowledge. On the other hand, if you are not good at analysis, go for long term. It will be easy for you. Find out some good project with utility. Don't invest in trash because in the long term, those coins may died.

very large amount and nominal that you will invest in short-term investment and crypto currency or long-term investment and the investment certainly has advantages and disadvantages of each and every one depends on the confidence and patience of each investor

Know the coin background that you will choose investment, join their conversation, how their future road map will be. How does community respond, look for reviews, and finally, determine yourself, is it feasible for investment, short term and long term?

I prefer to invest long term. Because we don't need to work every day to buy and sell our altcoins. We only need to buy and hold a few years, and when we find the right moment we will sell the bitcoin or altcoin that we have. So I prefer long-term investment, but short-term investment is also needed to make a profit every day even though it's small.

I still prefer to choos long term investment. It is really hard to become a day trader because of the high risks. There are many factors that you should consider if you will do day trading.

For short-term investments, it is also very good. And this is like trading every day because it will make you profit every day. Of course, this is not easy because you have to be able to play fast and carefully. In addition, I also invest long-term for coins that have good volume.

Why not invest in the best coins for the long term? From the first list of CMC. It is full of great options for every taste. From stable coins to new projects (for example, waves).

I think our advice will help you. Since it is not clear what will happen to the market in 2019. Any project can let us down.

Currency never was or will be in investment. Currency trades have been active for hundreds of years.
Most around here are just gambles who can not see a tree, when standing in the middle of a forest.

Long-term HODLing all the way long. The shorter the term, the more edge bots and people with a lot of money for developing proprietary trading algorithms have. You can't comptete against machines. Even if you have the brain of Einstein, you are not even close.

You can choose from top 10 coins on coinmarketcap I think that will be the safest way and risk limit investment so all you have to do is do research on each one and select the ones you think will be good for the future but honesty all the top 10 coins are good,I prefer long term investment

It depends on the growth of coins that you buy and how you manage your investment, I suggest if you are still unfamiliar with crypto fluctuations, then maybe you can share more coins, just keep an eye out for big risks and provided you are good at managing information and crypto management strategy, then short or long-term has no effect on your profits.

I would like to invest it the long term investment, due to the market is decline and bad situation, you can buy the altcoins in the cheapest price, I think you can't to earn the profit in the short term, but if you hold it for the long time can take more profit in the future.

Obviously, it is now a smart decision to keep your coins in the long run. And it looks like the market is a long time.

Right now the market is not stable so my suggestion is short term. When ever the market picks up you can make some profits and pull out for a while cos I know the market will still drop even if it picks up now so enjoy bshort term investing for the main time

Short-term investments can give much more profit if to compare with long-term, but it requires a good knowledge of technical analysis. If you are not a good trader, long-term investment is the best way to get profit.

It all depends on the coins in which you are going to invest, but still considering the situation on the market, it seems to me that the long-term will be better!

Long term is always best here when the market is in a slump
I mean you could do scalping where you earn buy 5% cheaper, sell 5% higher and repeat and make minor profit

But somehow if you were to invest during this market bearish season, just go long term!
Perhaps maybe 10-20% for short term tho

In truth it is up to you to decide which suits you more. If you have enough time on your hands and not tired staring at a PC for several hours then short term investment is right for you. If you are the opposite of this then go for long term investment

Although we decide to use the short-term investment, we need to be careful to select the coins because there are too many coins that might be increased in the short time. But as long as we know how to pick the right coin, then it will no need to take a long time to see the investment will grow so we can sell the coin to take that profit. We need to think about what we will choose for the investment, and I think we can choose both short-term and long-term investment.

In period of uncertainty, short term investment is more logical to avoid excessive losses. The market has been bearish for a while and there's possibility of declining prices for cryptocurrency, long term investment could be frustrating, when the price cuts does not seem to stop. In my opinion, it's better to take profit in short term gradually while waiting for the bull run.

I think investment in the long term and short term also has the opportunity to get more profits, because now crypto prices are also still low, so I think we will also be better to survive in the long run.

In my point of view of this matter, I think it just depend on which we are prefer to used. Someone feel comfortable to invest in long term that seem they don't want to get hassle keep watching the market time by time. Someone like to performed day trading because they think it is much easier way to earn profits and seen the had a passion on it.

I always prefer to long term invest and if i have $2000, i will invest to Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, NEO and ICON. For me that's is the best coin for long term invest.

Considering of this bad market now i would suggest the long term investment because it could give more time for your investment to make profit in the future, if you choose short term investment as of now i guess your capital will get loss.

You are right, the risk of short-term investment looks smaller if it must be compared to long-term risks. But for more profitable results, I think the longer term has better potential. And actually risk is always present in any investment. Thank you for your opinions and suggestions.

perhaps the best option for now with this bearish market is keep the money and wait for a bull market before investing

Yes, I really will buy bitcoin with a small amount because considering the price of bitcoin is still very expensive for me. Maybe I will buy 0.05 BTC. Only as a small investment to survive with the situation. But I know that bitcoin is the best. Thank you very much.

It depends upon the nature of the person, sommight hold the coins for long term and some might hold them for short term. There are some potential coins which we need to hold them for long term because we might see huge benefits for holding them in long term.

you should be prepair to invest in long term way. why exactly cardano. learn it's roadmap more carefully. is there important milestone in near future?

Cardano is a good coin to hold. But you have to be patient and might take a while for that to happen. As for me I prefer long term holding strategy. I am very busy and I don't have time to trade short term so I buy, keep and hodl for a long time

in this market i think the only way is to accumulate as many coins as you can and hold long term. just choose the coins you like and think are good and get as many as you can. this bear market is coming up to be the longest in the history of crypto. it will be a long time before we see the big gains again. and you want to be in the best position to take advantage of it when it does. most people in crypto have no patience for the long haul, these are the people who end up crying because they got fed up and sold too early. we old timers know that holding on will win out in the end. these lessons were learned the hard way,believe me

Long-term investment is safer and less risky. Especially for newbies who do not have much experience. I like long-term investment because I do not have much time to observe the market.

It depends on the project and what you mean by a short or long term. For example, Ethereum did not explode immediately, indeed for a long time the price remained static and low. If the project is valid, I believe in the long term.

If I were you, I would choose long-term investment and day trading.
With the market falling or stagnating, only day trading can make a profit.
As for long-term investment, it has good prospects for two reasons:
1. Now low prices and profitable to buy.
2. The market will ever start to grow and if you have time to wait for growth, then you can earn good money.

do you already know all the risks that you will get in investing with crypto currencies if you already know and learn and understand with long-term or short-term investments because your capital is large enough in investment requires a high degree of confidence as well of course

short and long term are equally profitable but also risky, this is the crypto world where the altcoin price is very volatile and can change at any time, an important point for me is to use bitcoin because this coin for short or long term is very good.

On short-term transactions, I think you can not earn big money such as in the long term , I think long-term investors in bitcoin is very enriched in comparison with short-term

Short term or short term in my opinion the main target is profit because with this we can determine whether we are suitable for making long or short term investments

but the target should have been made from the start they invested. I think investors must have their own targets for the assets they have. because investors certainly have conducted research related to assets and long-term development of assets.

it's hard to ascertain, but I think of every choice in investment, whether it's long or fast investment. You have to study it first and research the right one to buy. because in my estimation, there will be no bulls in the near future, so you must be prepared for the risks

Mostly the situation happens like this but of course someone is still want to play long even if the price are too volatile. Long term is better than to short term, I also go for this strategies since its too complicated to make a short term trade at this time.

Market still bearish now, but we don't know in future, if you take high risk of course there will be high reward too, but If I become you, I will keep save in my pocket

Try to diversify your portfolio with short- and long-term investments. And it depends on who are you: trader or investor? If you a trader, so you should be oriented in short-term investing. If you wanna HODL, buy and keep :)

Long term investment it seems to be not effective right now or we might be not profitable for the current situation. As fluctuations arise and to unexpected market trend, we can't certainly knew a price for a certain coin years from now.
We can just hold to those coins that have potentials to grow or those coins that are supported by the investors just like Bitcoin, ETH and Ripple.

you are a smart investor in seeing every opportunity that is obtained in investing with crypto currencies in conditions like now we must be smart and observant in seeing opportunities

I believe that portfolio should be diverse. Long-term holding gives much less opportunities for speculation. In this situation with the market I think it is better to get a little bit of trading.

Market movement is telling that long investment is good but it will take very more time to move up in the trend. Short investment is good now but that is taking long time to move up and stable in the price is not short and movement is near by only one up down. Long investment is the best decision for big profit.

jangka panjang mungkin lebih baik untuk pemula , dan menahan nya hingga semuanya setabil , jika anda ingin mendapat kan untung besar.

Well, short-term and expects that you can earn money within a week , but long-term can include a General loss of Deposit , then you need a competent approach to investing and I would not recommend if your Deposit is 2000 to invest 5 coins , you take 500 for long , and 1500 for short-term

I think short-term is unanimously accepted investment for me. That's why i sold everything and waiting for buy back in time. If you interested to long-term investment obviously i recommend good stable,potential & future brightest coin and which definitely top ranking coin.      

There is no one answer those type of questions, some traders use short term to get profit some investments use long term (may be 5 years more) , it depends on your money how much you invest.

If you have more than sufficient funds then go for short term but if you want handsome profit then go for long term because right now even good coin are not at their average price because of nrgetivity and its better to stay long. Once the market recover things will look brighter

if for a card as large as a cardano, my advice is to invest better in the long run because it is likely that you will get more profits compared to short-term investments.

Researching the coins we will buy is an obligation. we must be smart to read the data because the data will be very helpful in making every decision we make. without research, we will only suffer losses, this is a choice and we must make the best decision.

You have a rather small amount that you want to invest, so in my opinion investments in such projects as cardano are not a very reasonable kind of investment because the profit will be rather small. If you want to increase your potential profit, it is better to deal with projects whose capitalization is several times smaller.

Of course, it makes sense to invest only for a long term, in the near future, I think the decline will only continue. I would advise not to buy cryptocurrency now and wait a bit.

It seems to me that the ratio of the number of coins and the capitalization of the project should play an important role in choosing a project for investment. K The fact is that the price of the token greatly influences the overall form of capitalization, since the owner is not only investors.

Both type of investment is profitable if you have some knowledge of this market. I always prefer long or mid term investment. In this type of investment you dont have to put much time and if you pick some good coins then you have less risk factor. In my  opinion if you are in short term investment and if you pick good coins you still may have to pick some loss. The reason behind this short term profit is only make by the news or by the people or by the hype. So if you dont have that much knowledge about trading its better to do some long term investment. And  the next topic cardano is a good coin you can make both type of profit from them But cardano have a huge potential in longterm investment. You can start with 10-20% from your portfolio to play with trading. But its highly risky.

It seems to me that in this regard it is very difficult to undertake something, since developers who really work qualitatively on their project, in any case will invest their money.

Cardano is a well-known project, but if your investment is only $ 2000 and you plan to invest in Cardano, then you should know that the maximum amount of profit that you can receive during this year may be very small, and it's can be not suitable for you. Therefore, perhaps you better look for some other coins.

if I am better long-term investment because seeing the current market trends is not possible to get a profit if making a short-term investment. besides cardano you have to invest in ethereum and also for the long term bitcoin will certainly lead.

Of course long term investments will bring much higher reward in relation to short or middle term. The main question is do you have enough patience and good exit strategy to make long term investments?

But part of the funds can be invested in the long-term and the rest to use for short-term transactions, I think this strategy will be safe for the crypto market

I think that at the moment it is necessary to choose a long-term investment. You can of course start trading, but there is no steady rise or fall now, and most of the big coins have turned into stable coins ;D

That's a very difficult questions to answer nowadays mate, we can't be certain how long we can have patience at this very down market. Deciding to have long term investments is a good strategy to make, but only for those who have huge funds in their savings. Unlike for those people who only lived their lives through trading income, I don't think it will provide them daily sustainable income to supoort their families. It needs serious reviews before choosing long term investments, or maybe just have a halfway options to invest 50% of the assets you have to avoid worries.

Seeing the market is currently experiencing a sharp decline, I think it's better for long-term investments. because of our current advantages, we certainly can't get that much. so the current situation does not allow us to gain more profit.

Yes, but you have to choose coin with good prospects for the long term. And you also have to look at the latest price from time to time, it's impossible for you to leave money without seeing progress.
