I agree that you need to be patient. But at the same time you need to follow the news and changes. Balance is needed in everything - patience and activity.
I think we can not predict the current market situation, but all we can do is hold the coin we have and sell it at the right moment, well this industry is still promising.
Most of the airdrops are waste of time, and yes you are right lie too. But some of the airdrops, might actually make you some money in long term, if you were able to hold.
I think long term and short term investment are both same. Longterm invest took a month or a year to gey good profit. But lesser risk. While shorterm almost everyday you earn profit but too risky.
I know just one thing - when i am holding a coin for a long time and then decide to sell it - next day or next week it will skyrocket. So, for now i am very careful with such things, but of course some coins, which i am holding more dead then live.
Altcoins are worth buying when you have a short term plan to make trade with the altcoin. The only reason is that its potential won't have high variation as bitcoin. So holding it long is not much profitable as well not secure as bitcoin.
It is very much in fact to choose bounty in this market. because it is developing and the new bounty is born. The project content is important for bounty. you can find the right bounty by doing good research.
IСO is not a way to get free money. It's hard work and constant analysis of projects. You have to explore a lot of projects, in order to find a good project for investment.
if i have a token rewards. i will like holding it more than i sell it. because token rewards can be raise in the market sometimes so maybe we just need the right time for sale it.
