I always say decisions we take in cryptocurrency affect our earnings. Investing in a cryptocurrency for long or short term is. a decision and a personal choice to make base don't the type of coin you hold in your portfolio though both are risky so its a choice.
Between choosing long-term investments and short-term investments as well as with the type of altcoin we choose, it must be carefully considered, because it is very important for those who invest, from those two, you will get a loss or profit, investment is very risky so you have to be careful and think smart.
Any investment in this market will have its own risks and whether short-term or long-term will make you lose money without a proper investment strategy. I think the best way to make a good profit is by carefully researching and evaluating every project activity because a good project requires a lot of different factors. In my opinion this market is not a place where you can easily make money because a lot of people have poor mentality and they tend to sell when there is bad news.
I personally have lost a lot of money in the short term and this year I will consider long-term investment in some good projects.
