For me I'll choose short term investment cause I'm not a patient man so I just want to invest in any cryptocurrency for few days or maybe a month maximum and I think short term investment is better than long term investment cause you can get profit everyday or maybe every month but with long term investment you need to hold your cryptocurrency for years.
Yes it completely depends on the individual's requirement as I would personally go for short term investment until.i gain my initial capital back then probably go for a long term investment with the profits warned from short term investment and by this way I can gain confidence and will not have any guilt even if I lose the money because I have already regained my profits
