But patient is everything in trading to make profits or losses, definitely i would like to trade in the long term, it's more safest trading and maximum profits is possible. Day trading is not for everyone, it's very risky, high pressure and high chances to make wrong trades, so a lot of stuffs you need control. In the long term trade, a big advantages is you have high chances to get enough profits to leave a project.
In trading, patient is not everything but the knowledge of trading you possessed is. Anything related to crypto is very risky thou the risks are greater than the others as the case may be. I think there is little mix up here as regarding term trade. Long term trade can be more riskier especially when you are dealing with a project that has no future. You can only enjoy high profits in the long run if the project is a very solid one such as bitcoin.
Which do you prefer and think is better
Day trading requires high level of skills and dedication but it can be profitable by giving you instant earning while you should also be prepared for daily lose if you don't play your part rightly. The better one is the one that allows you to minimize risk and gives peace of mind that you don't need to be on screen every day for market update. I mean hold your coins, not just anyhow coin but bitcoin.
