Probably this is why people are really into long term trading especially the ones who have days jobs because here we dont have to put as much efforts as we are required to do in short term or day trading. I am myself involved in long term trading with ethereum and bitcoin. I dont rely on any other altcoin because usually they turn out to be scams. Day trading is full of risks for me.
That is precisely the reason why I am a long term trader, it could be interesting to become a day trader but I have a job and I need to be extremely focused to be able to perform my job with my current standards, but long term trading does not interfere at all with my activities since you need only a few minutes each day to be able to tell if you are going to do something that day or not and that is a huge advantage for people like me, besides thanks to the volatility of bitcoin the profits are not that bad either.
