Well, longs is always a better position than short since before even on the forex longs always win over short sides because everything is getting more expensive like stocks and even the US dollar is expensive compared before.
To me, shorting seems much easier, lol. Of course, not opening the position for long periods of time. When you watch the charts, for the coin price to go up, it takes a while to build up with lots of sideways movements. On the contrary, if the coin price is to drop, it does so with a few long red candlesticks (ripple effect of stop losses and liquidations).
So with short position I don't have to wait for so many hours or day. I am saying this as a day trader rather than a long term trader who would find longing with very low leverage very suitable.
