Long term vs. Short term

[Aoirayn]

I've risked almost everything I've got. I'm in it for the Long term.

I won't touch my portfolio until at least 1 year has passed.

If my portfolio is worth 0-100% of investment, fine. I will have lived, and tried, and failed. Wait another year.
If it's anything above 200% gain, I will have made more money than I've ever made in a single year.

Sometimes you gotta risk it. It's also fun. Am I addicted to gambling? maybe? But at least I've stopped drinking

[Julunguul]

Only long term. So you are usually more at risk, but you've earned a lot more money

No matter long-term or short-term, of course people will earn a lot of money, just if the price of the coin is getting higher.
but how if the price is just getting swimming into the abyss ? 

bad coins for short-term and good coins for long-term

[moonriver]

Long term - Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both are perfect assets.
Short term - altcoins like Ripple, Cardano and IOTA that are good for trading and buying something.

Good choice.
Ripples has raised a lot during the past few days.
I missed that opportunity.

hhhh, so am I. I have spent all my money on ICO and some altcoin, and I hope to bring me great benefits in the short term (3 months).

Long term you can get much more profit of it it can double it price or maybe triple but on the short term you can get much more profit time to time if you are investing multiple investment and short time is good for hasty person

[gathingbrus]

more visible results if used in investsai long term. therefore do not be responsibility in investing, direct of the course so that the results obtained are also great.

[SparkSun]

When you understand that an asset is safe and growing continuously then you should investment for log time.
But when you seeing the assets value is unstable markets are dumping you should not invest for long

[sparveenat]

It is not that much easy to describe about the returns about short term and long term its all about the requirement and the performance of the product only make us to take the decision and also most of the time market sentiments make big impact in the rates. Only advantage of the long term is no need to panic and we can give the enough time to perform and get better returns compare with short term.

I am new to trading and my first coin was TRX tron thought of holding it for a day trade makes profit but no. I loose some bitcoin but immediately take an action. I transferred my income to another altcoin which is the ripple XRP. and now still holding it. I earn much more in holding for long time and gain more now that TRX is trying to reach the 3$ market price heheheh. hopefully in 2018 ripple price will increase in 5$ and more . PROFIT for me heheheh

Giving the uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency, one might be tempted to always go on short term on your portfolio. For me, I have 20% long term holding and 80% short term holding. No medium term

[shimbark123]

Well in my portfolio, I'm doing a medium term, I am holding for a month. But I have some for long term, maybe I'll hold it for a year, that asset is TRX or TRON. I believe in Justin Sun lol.

[pigheadbig]

this is based on what I did
short term = day trading : can earn small amount in a matter of 10 buy and selling 6 of it had me failed and my earnings loose a little bit or sometimes even more, also time consuming

long term = holding for a month I think : can earn big if you got a good valueble have potenatial coin. much smaller risk of failure.
time consuming if you will think but if you will not be paranoid it will not.

after I do this I think long term is best. I am now holding ripple and stoped day trading because ripple are so hyped and I know ripple have future.
do your own research of course of those coins you want to hold or invest happy earning

That is a reasonable answer, I think both daily trading and long term holding are fine, daily trading will help you to learn more latest news about the market, while the long term holding will help you to get great profit instead of selling them too early.

How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?

I choose coin with bigger marketcap like bitcoin neo and ethereum for long term gain and some other alts for short term gain, the percentage is about 70% for long term and 30% for short term. Long term is more than 1 year for me and short term is from 1 day until 6 month the longest.

If you are an aggressive investor who really knows how to play the game and understand how altcoins work, tyen short term investments might be suitable for you. However, it needs your utmost attention in checking if yoy are on the winning or the losing end.

[moonriver]

It depends on many factors.
For me, I'd like to lock my profit from time to time, so usually I don't keep coin for long term.

[wissy]

If you are not that good at trading and dont have time to really focus on it, then you should buy coins/tokens for long term holding which will give you a decent profit. If you have time, you can try day trading and see where it takes you.

It was good for in a first timer was trying to buy some coins have some potential to increasing a value, I know the coins that you buy it was better to hold it as of now they are starting to increase but not too fast.

[Ceballos]

What i get from history is long term is always better then short term investments.
Buy and forget your coins then turn back few months-years later and enjoy your profits.

How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?

I mainly invest in Bitcoin so I guess that I would be a long term trader instead of a regular short term trader.

[bottledfireworks]

For me long term is better than short term because you can gain more profit than short term but you need to spend more time to have a higher profit.
 There's so many people choosing long term investment because they want to have a higher profit even if they spend more time on it.
