If you look at the full history of bitcoin you will see its development in the long term, I think you will find the answer without the advice of others. It doesn't matter if you are a new or old investor, but before investing always do your own research and analysis, don't invest according to anyone's advice because we are all different in mindset and life circumstances.

Bitcoin is a diversified form of investment, it can generate profits in the short term by trading and can also be held for a long time for profit. Set yourself a plan and goals that fit your finances.

The answer completely depends on you. If you just want to invest on something solid for long years, then definitely buy Bitcoins and hold it for many years. This is considered as long term investment. But if you want to invest in Bitcoins and want to cash out immediately after reaching a certain price target, then this can be considered as short term investment. Now depending on the necessity and requirement, you should carry out your actions. If you have separate money from emergency fund and want to invest in Bitcoins, then definitely go for long term investment and enjoy the profits when you retire.

Since you are considering investing, I assume you have an exit strategy. There is surely a goal or a magic number in terms of profit you have in your head. Depending on how fast the market moves to that zone determines the end of your investment plan.

If you are considering putting in $10.000 with the aim to profit another $10k and take home $20k, just wait until the market gets there. Maybe in a year, maybe in 5. So, long-term or short term doesn't really matter. But if you are considering speculating just to see what will happen in 3 or 5 years from now, just invest an amount you are comfortable with losing and leave it alone.

Life circumstances can change rapidly. When you are in dire need of money, selling at a loss doesn't seem like a bad idea.

For me, both investment time frames are good but with respect to different individuals, because it can be profitable when you have the necessary tools and knowledge to take advantage of the fluctuating price nature of the market. But for a newbie who has no trading experience and wishes to take advantage of the benefits Bitcoin has to offer, then I will strongly suggest that investing an amount you can afford to lose in a long term is the best option, as there is every tendency Bitcoin doing far better in long term compared to short term

Buy and hold as long as you can to resist the urge to spend. I mean, the goal of investing is to be able to see them increase by a few percent. If it happens within just a few days of starting, it's fine to spend early. Investment term is conditional for me.

For sure long term investment is better option for bitcoin investment as you can see people who have invested and hold it for more then 4-5 years are always in profit.It would be beneficial as a newbie to invest without looking for the charts and all that panic due to volatility so say invest for long term only in my suggestion.If you invest at $20k also then after 5 years at most you will be in a profitable situation so best is go with this option.

It is undeniable that bitcoin is one of the long-term crypto investments that are in demand by many people, including myself, who is one of the many people who invest in bitcoin in the long term, even on-chain research data reveals that more than 60% of bitcoins in circulation are owned by companies and individuals who are long-term investors, for those of us who have minimal knowledge of bitcoin and we have other activities, it would be better if we invest in the long term.

Depending on both the short term and the long term when you can manage risk by making good trades it will not deter investment. but in my opinion, so far Bitcoin will always provide a very promising long-term income. But the portion of a person's needs will be different, so it also needs to be considered properly. If you are a beginner and do have some cold cash, then long-term investing in Bitcoin will answer your doubts.

Histories of bull run's happen on bitcoin will determine all of it that this is good investment so those doubts coming from people looking only on bearish condition is not so valid because if they only look for short term for sure we cannot get the best result on it so doing a long term hold for bitcoin is really much advisable if we can't afford a short term trade because this one could give us more better result.

Investing Bitcoin for long-term is always the best, but what matters is how long you can be able to wait. One thing you need to know before investing in bitcoin is that bitcoin is volatile,  you can't really predict the market. It will be better for you to do research how the market is before now, so that you can be able to make a good decision and not to be in a confused state when you see the market go dip. Try to know the market history to be sure of what you are doing.

Hello! Welcome! Have you already made yourself familiar with Bitcoin's overall price history? Have you been observing its daily, weekly, and monthly price changes?

A man has over 230 posts on this forum and you want to welcome him? He is neither new here, nor is he asking this question for the first time, but he is just trying to gain some merit...

Based on the advice and opinions of most of our senior colleagues who have responded thus far, long-term involvement in Bitcoin is the best, because early Bitcoin investors understand the value of investment and gain more than short-term investors, but the choice is yours.
Will you be able to withstand the ups and downs of the Bitcoin market?
Can you be patient and set a goal for your Bitcoin before selling it?
These are the questions you must answer; if you can withstand such pressures, you can have a long-term investment that will undoubtedly be profitable because Bitcoin has a very bright future.

Investing in Bitcoin for a short term period is not the best because you might not get it to the fullest. If you want a better investment practice will good profits then you need to choose a long term investment so that you will learn how to be patient with the market no what how dip the market goes. Some you set your mindset for a long term investment then you will sure get the big profit which would make you the kind of person you want to be. Going for a short term investment can make you too much skeptical about the market making so few loses.

Here I will show you about Bitcoinn chart since 2013, what do you think? it's obvious long term prospect is far better than short term!

...

Imagine you bought Bitcoin on 2013 for $100 per each coin and then hold it for 8 years and sell it for $69,000 per each coin, you will earn huge money! if you're bought Bitcoin on 2013 and sell it after few months since Bitcoin price already increase for 20%, you're only earn $20 and it's just small profit.

Yes, so my opinion too, and after I saw the chart you showed, I'm even more convinced that long-term investing is much better. and I will patiently wait for the right time to sell.

That was more convincing, honestly. You already figured out what will be the benefits when investing long-term but the thing you should know is that even short-term holding gives you a profit as well. But the question is if are you committed to holding long (years) and is able to wait for the right time to sell your Bitcoin or if it was just in your mouth.

Some people had talked about it but guess what, many of them have failed, it is a broken promise. I'm afraid you will be like these people.

You will not get anything investing short-term, the general investment advice that is given is that you should invest an amount you can afford to be without, the reason for that statement spells long term, that is invest an amount that you will not be tempted to touch. Also before you go into investment you should also know that there are a lot of risks involved, you should make yourself conversant with the safety methods and ways to secure your investments.

Every investment, you need to know how the system works per circle, i terms of Bitcoin investment, it always have four years price difference duration, which has been a long term investment, because of Bitcoin halving, which make it to be more scars with a high price pump in the market, therefore, bitcoin should be a long term investment for bigger profits returns. 

[kryptqnick]

The majority in the thread seem to recommend long-term investment, and I agree with them. If you're set to invest in Bitcoin for a period of, say, 6 months or less, it's very realistic that the price won't change much over this time or even that it might get lower. Of course, you might get lucky and invest right before or at the beginning of a bull market, in which case your short-term investment can pay off nicely, but that's not very likely to happen. If you invest and are willing to wait for 2+ years, I'd say it's very likely that you'll see good returns on your investment. But if you invested money, and you see that in 7 months you already have a pretty nice profit, there's no sense in waiting for another year or so because, chances are, the price will fall again, so unless you want to wait for a longer time (another couple of years) for the next bull market, I'd say it's better to cash out.
It's important not to be greedy, to be realistic about returns, to keep your coins in a non-custodial wallet and to invest what you can afford to lose because investing always means taking a risk. Good luck, op!

I think it all depends on our goal some would prefer short term if they already gain the profit that they are aiming,
For me it is better to be  a long term holder specially if you would start accumulating on the bear market.

Can you be patient and set a goal for your Bitcoin before selling it?
These are the questions you must answer; if you can withstand such pressures, you can have a long-term investment that will undoubtedly be profitable because Bitcoin has a very bright future.

That's a tough problem. Because I know holding back requires a strong mentality. In fact I had to learn to be patient until recently. Indeed, the average winner is the Holder, they have a tremendous increase when they are able to hold on longer. But holding back has to have an end goal and you have to be disciplined with your decisions. In addition, there are indeed some people who can hold back but don't know when to take off.
If you feel unsure, maybe you can do both for your funds for the short and long term. Remember choose the correct coin capable of surviving and constantly evolving.

I thought you already did?

around 2020. and at that time the price of btc had gone up, but even though the price had gone up, I still bought it because I saw good potential for the future..

Are you trying make people fool just to ask newbie questions, for what? merit? Repeated shitty discussion? Lol. You still "newbie to bitcoin" yet you already did discuss lots of time regarding bitcoin even investing on it.

It is indeed a tough problem for most because they live in doubt about Bitcoin. But at the moment that they give the fullest trust in it, I'd say it was easy for them to hold.

Moreover, holding Bitcoin for the long term doesn't guarantee a profit, not even in the short term. Because what really matters most is when we sell them. But if we say that we buy Bitcoin during the bear season, hold, and then sell when the bull season comes - that is exactly a profitable stragegy.
