Actually long term trading/ holding is good for people who does not know how to trade.
Just like investing they can just sell it when they think the profit is enough.
Also with this strategy you do not need to worry about price dips/crash because history shows that Bitcoin/stable coins will rise in the future.
It depends on the person's attitude in what kind of investment they are going to pursue because if you are professional in this thing of course you will choose to do short term trading because you trafe a lot of different coins unlike if you are just a beginner you do not.know anything about that yet so you will just invest like for example in bitcoins and then hold it for a long time because that will not do such work but to wsit until.your money will rise that is much safer because you did nothing at all.
