I prefer to take a part in long term investment because it is safer indeed.
For example, it will be safer if we buy some big coins like bitcoin, ethereum or bnb than some new altcoins.
But we need patience to hold because usually big coins price are already high, maybe few years later they will make a new ATH.
It is longer game for the bigger coins and it is the best option if you are not a trader.
But I see traders that are good with their strategy that they are not just for short term but they also for long term having themselves coins to hold for good.
No matter what happens, they will hold it. For dump and for pump.
