Long term vs. Short term

[LordShanken]

At the moment 95% of my investments are made for the long term. I think that in this economic situation it makes sense for me.

It all depends on when you invested - if it was at the end of December, and you bought around ATH, then you have no choice. But for people who have invested - let say year before - even that price can be very attractive..

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

I think not everything should be the same on every altcoin. I have several plans for each altcoin that I hold. including in the framework of trade. so I think you should try to find more knowledge so that you know about investment.

[Bobocantik]

I prefer long term if you are very busy working on your full time real job. But if you are a full time investor or a trader then you can go short term; since being full-time in crypto world was the best in monitoring all your investments to make good profit.

[Md.salauddin]

I do much prefer long term investment.Short term investment are more of a gambling, if the value goes down you would end in a big loss.when investing a good crypto currency like bitcoin,etheruem,dash,litecoin and some more as these coins are steadily increasing and it's popularity and demand are also increasing .Long term investment are the foundation of your savings .

Now it is very risky to collect a portfolio of coins for the short term, it seems that a new crisis is coming in crypto-currencies. But to take a few leaders is worth it, maybe it will play a bet on the future. At least this is the only correct decision.

[Iyanuisaiah]

I prefer long term which is Ethereum and Bitcoin than short term because there is believe that sooner or later the price will be high in market and loss in long term is not common to that of long term.

[Glomerulus22]

Long term is definitely better for people who normally go to work. But if you shoot the right moonshot, you can sell early with a nice profit of course.

[squidiot438]

For  low-mid market cap altcoins, I think that it will be risky to hold longterm. Otherwise, Eth and most other top or large caps are stable enough.

[arpaul]

I prefer long term that's why im holding my bitcoin because I know someday its going to be worth it. Im also holding some coins temporarily for profits but most of the time these coins are only for short term. 

[themistocleess]

As of current circumstances the long term holding strategy is good because market is recovering, once it's recover then shot term will also workout.

[khalifa25]

 a majority of the portfolio should be in BTC imo. For a short-term XVG worked great for me. I sold it 3 times with 2x to 3x profit and bought when dump happened.

[guanyikclkv8593]

I like the long term holding because they will cost me less time to do the trading and I also can make a lot of money in it. I think the trading of short tie take too much time.

I prefer long term when handling my portfolio and for me it has lesser risks compared to doing short term. Specially since I still work in a full time job and is having a hard time giving extra time for part time jobs which is why it is very compatible for me to just hold and wait for the time being and I find it much more profitable and less of a hassle.

[Babayan]

Short-term is quite profitable, but it requires a lot of time and knowledge in trading, so it is also very risky for you. I chose long-term investment, because i don't have much time. I prefer to find out perspective coins and buy it for a year or more. I know several traders that prefer long-term to short-term due to the fact that it is easier and almost as profitable as trading.

[Bezobraznike]

   All my holdings are for long-term. I invested in Bitcoins
and other alt-coins, platforms, new projects, and I plan
to hold all that for minimum two years.
   That is not final. After two years I will make a review and
maybe I will continue to hold. In that time I expect many
things to be different than now, and I plan to use that
profit to start some other projects that I have in mind.
   Shot-term can be profitable, I already work so I do not
need fast money. I need a lot of money and I am ready
to wait for that.

[tri lie]

more long-term benefits such as the risk of loss are very small and thus even odds of earning more profits will be even greater. therefore let's invest in the long term.

Yes sometimes short time are more profitable if we have extensive knowledge about the crypto market and if we are upto date with crypto market and for long term we need to invest into ICO.

[Baronggot]

Long term investment is good for me and i am planning to invest in bitcoin in a long term basis. I've always been in a short term so far because i i always get the profit that i earn everytime its market price rises.

Short term feels like " that one of hand of blackjack that you bet the min. on and end up hitting blackjack. HODL the top 10 coins and enjoy the rest of your life. Sell when needed.

Both had advantages and disadvantages. i think  it is better to choose long term because it will gain more than the short term. I prefer long term. Please choose the bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and dash are the perfect crypto currencies which can grows and survive for the long time.
