well, I rarely trade. but I think both types of trading have their advantages and disadvantages. well, of course the short term is more risky, because I have tried it, and got a big loss. other than that, if I think about it, I am a person who trades in the long run.
The reality in crypto is that when we take high risk, we are entitled with higher reward if we succeed.
It's not new that short term trading is also profitable but should be at a good timing and one in order to be profitable needs to have the skills to go along the way. Though you do a short term trade, but you can make it a long term activity especially if you are doing good.
But in the current market I will not recommend anyone to do short term trade as currently the market is not going better so in this market we have to focus on the long term trade. IN long term trade we will get the profit no matter how much fluctuations are in the market.
