Many many people say they are holding this, holding that for the "long term" but please tell me what exactly is your guys definition of "long term"?
For me, 1 year is considered long time. I began investing this January and I will hold one year and cash out everything January 2019. So by your definition, is this more short term or long term? Is 1 year enough time to see gains?

Predictions are always made in optimism, as to the height a currency would attain, which is why most people engage in holding a coin for future profit. It should also be known that holding a coin is not a guaranteed success, as the market may take a turn from your anticipated range. Holding for a year is therefore, considered as a long term.
