I personally do not recommend holding bitcoins for long time, for short time holding right not Monero looks like good option, I've also got few btc invested in it.
Why not hold bitcoin for long term?
A little correction there, my auto-correct changed altcoins to bitcoin

really stupid of me now to check it after posting, I meant to say not to hold altcoins for long. I'm all for holding bitcoin for long term, its actually the best choice right now.
Why short term Monero is good, just went up 3x (from 300k satoshi to 1 million satoshi)?
That's the exact reason why to keep monero for just short time, it just went 3x right?, now you sell it and make a 3x profit but if you had hold it for long term and say in few months, like all altcoins nowadays, it crashed you would had been at a loss. Yes you would say what if it has been 10x in few months, but that's a gamble i woudn't risk to take
