One thing is, even outside the shores of cryptocurrency and the investment involved, businesses in the outside that involve investment thrive on long term ones. You do not get into a business and say you want to back out within 2 to 3 weeks all things being equal. With that, if what you have in mind is to make much profit on your investment as much as possible, then, long term investment it is.  People have different ways of doing it. You invest and take your eyes off it for months. Concentrate on something worth it during the time. As failure to do so could draw you to the investment and that wouldn't posit well for the investor. With long term investment, more profits are guaranteed no matter what.  It only needs patience above all.
