short term investment or long term invesetment

[BrewMaster]

it is a little hard for me to consider things less than a year as a short term investment. because i believe anything more than a couple of months is somewhat a long term investment!

and when you are talking about benefits, then it must be defined what kind of benefits you are looking for. if it is purely monetary benefits then i think short term investments can be more beneficial since you make profit in short term (specially if the short term is really short like days or weeks) then use the profit to invest again and make more profit. rinse and repeat to grow the capital exponentially.

but this takes time. so you may think about benefits as in terms of money and spending less time. so long term investment becomes more beneficial. when you just buy something and hold it for a long time. even 10 years and you don't spend any time on it. you come back to what you bought at $0.10 in 10 years ago and see it is $100,000 by then and do nothing more in between.

If you asking bitcoin, well it's fit for long term investment since bitcoin far more riskier if you're trade in short term.
Unlike wall street trading so that's why bitcoin consider as high risk investment but it able generate more profit than other well known investment like gold

Personally if I'm only investing a small amount, I'd take the risk and try to do trading and see where it leads me. Oftentimes it pays off good, but the risk of losing the money is always high. If I do have a large amount to spend I'd go long since the reward—if you look at historic charts—is high and tremendously good.

short-term investment is a form of investment with the goal or which is expected to immediately provide income within a shorter time. This is because to support the needs of daily living that must and must be met, then obtaining fresh funds through a short-term investment model is the most appropriate choice.

BTC is a sample of long term coin. High volume coins like Ethereum and Litecoin is also a good long term coin. Some small volume coins like VTC, EMC2 are examples of swingtrade coins or short term.

Interesting topic investment into digital coins can be done with short term investment and long term investment, all of them are good. It just depending on the people which are will be choosen, for short term investment usually the people choose trading alternative coins and investing into the ICOs program and sell the coins or token when the target of profit is gained, for long term investment usually the investors buy and hodling the digital coins for couples years later.

My option is short term investment. As  you can see, bitcoin is the most valuable thing in general and the price is unsteady so i chose short term investment because i can not know the time bitcoin will be collapsed. According to the information and number about bitcoin, i can see bitcoin will be more popular and influential in market and economy. However, bitcoin not my official job, i really interested in bitcoin but i just have used bitcoin to earning money and take that money to invest in something else; I still saving bitcoin for future but i will retire when i reach the goal which i have planned,  for example: 4 or 9 bitcoin will enough for me !

I agree that all of them are good, but you need to know in what you invest if you aim for profit in short term or long term. This topic is interesting cause bitcoin this year was great investment, short or long who ever bought bitcoins in the beginning of this year made a profit. By all news and predictions here
bitcoin will rise in next year and again will be great for investing in short and long term.
Do you follow altcoins like eth, ltc they are rising too, and they are great fro short and long term. More waiting is more profit, who can wait it`s better to sit down and do nothing.

[ModaFuka1994]

If you invest in Bitcoin I think you should invest with long term but if it's altcoin you shouldn't do that. Cause Bitcoin price is increasing day by day very quickly so other altcoin price will decrease because almost altcoin have BTC/ALT pairing so when Bitcoin price increase altcoin price will decrease as well. Beside you can also invest in ICO project or trading but you only should do short term investment with these both kinds.

When it comes to the investment, many newcomers or people with frequent requirement find it difficult to invest for longer amount of time. Here by short investment i mean any investment which is less than year old. That investment has been cashed out within a year. And by long term investment I mean investment which will be kept for more than year ( ideally 10 years or so).
What do you think which is more beneficial short term investment or long term investment

i prefer short term investment. after end period your short investment you can evaluates where will investing for next.
short-term investment doesn't meaning un-trusting about Bitcoins power which has been gain volume caps around $$184 billions for now. But it's natural of business to do evaluates your investment.

I think this depends on the affordable investment that you can loose over the time if something went wrong. If there is no use of your money for long time or you have sufficient in your saving then you should not worry about the investment that you are making. In that case the 10 years period would be nothing. Juts look at the graph now, how the bitcoin looks like to you if considered from year 2009 to all upto today? Does that make sense, yes off course it does because it has increase by 10000X today and those who had few bitcoins also are millionaire now, ideally billionaire though!

So thats the point it depends on many things, may be it could be personal, family related or just something that makes it important to cash out on timely basis or sometimes it may not be required at all. Thats what will define which one is better. For me one year is enough period really.

I prefer long time investment. But there is another method, for example you wanna invest on stratis. keep 70% of your investment on your wallet and dont touch. For 30% keep in a exchange and try to buy low and sell high to increase the quantity.

You are still speculating with 30% of your bitcoins. It might be still acceptable depending on your risk appetite. But it is a risky strategy. You might be thinking you are selling high, while the price further increases and goes out of reach.

[eyesopen]

Long term investment is best!

A lot of new people sell when price starts to fall, like fomo, fear of missing out.

Then some people miss out on the price rise and all of a sudden the price is the same or higher than they sold at

for myself I prefer to invest in the long term for now .. I share my 2 capital for long term investment 70% and for short 30% this all I consider because for short term investment is very risky with the number of fraud is very difficult to find investment place good short term right now. on long-term investments I bought some shares of coal mines, I happen to live in a lot of coal mining  to get a profit on this investment is very long but it is certain that the risk is smaller

[13abyknight]

I would say experience is everything in trading and knowing the right periods to invest and withdraw is very much essential to derive the highest profits. With Bitcoin, it can be said to be a safe long term investment as the growth rate is getting exponentially higher each year. Coming down to altcoins and ICOs, just go for short term, planned investments where it is much easier to sell quickly and end up with how much ever profit it yields.

[bitllionaire]

I could say both, why? because investing in cryptocurrencies are risky, it is really hard to speculate the profit you can get since cryptos have a high volatilty, their prices can increase and decrease anytime. i suggest that you invest something that you can afford to loss at the same time you can think of a high profit.

Although it is depending on the personal experience of a person. Some people are good in short term investment, therefore short term investment is good for them, While other people who experience in long term therefore they are good in long term investment, To me i have good experience in long term investment therefore i will always like to invest my money for long term.

It seems to me that in the case of bitcoin you can't predict what will be the price in the long run. We can't even predict how many years it will be bitcoin. Long-term investments can only work on the stock market. Speculative capital only works with short-term investments.

In general, I say that long term is much safer; you get the chance to make money over a period of time, and as that time increases you make more and more. However, I think short term investment has the potential to give you the best returns. That doesn't mean short term is better than long term, as there are more risks with short term, so take it as you will. Regardless of what you choose, you need to be smart with your investments, so I'd prefer long-term.
