@Zanab247, I guess that you are going off topic because this is not a trading topic and there is nothing like short-term hodler. A hodler is someone who only buy bitcoin and does not want to sell it for a very long period of time but just keep it in his possession without giving a fuck about the price of bitcoin. Short-term investors are called traders because they are only after buying and selling too quick.
You're wrong, there's a thing like short-term holder and a short-term holder also known as weaker hands is a person whose Bitcoin purchase has not reached 155 days before selling off either for profits or loss while long-term holders (strong hands) are those who holds for relatively Longer period of time and when short-term holders are selling off their investments, long-term holders are busy accumulating regardless of the pricing because they have the intention of keeping their investments for a longer period of time.
There's nothing like a holder, it's either you're a short-term holder, or a long-term holder. The precision in the prefix differentiate the two with respect to the duration of their holding.
Short-term investment I think the duration is under one year and long-term investment the duration is over one year.
However, on average, currently more people want to apply their investments for the long term with the aim of their retirement. Sometimes things happen that make them stop accumulating and they are included in short-term investments.
Now talking about holders I think that is the right word for those who do not sell their btc ownership at any time. Loyalty to holding btc above an average of 10 years of course they are holders.
Holding for few years is just what we generally regard as investment since trading is seen from the angle of a couple of days or months before the selling. I think it is necessary to make that distinction for the purpose of the discussion because even short term investment is not too different from position trading which involved holding for several months and sometimes years.
Thinking on trading as the practice of holding only for days or up to few months before selling, makes the activity even more risky for those seeking for a reliable source of profit, at same time it becomes more similar to gambling activity. Regards short term investments in crypto industry, I fear it's not possible to name them as investments due to the unpredictability factor involved. Analysis don't work on short run here, therefore it's a better idea to focus the investments made in crypto aiming long term returns exclusively.
Trading practices are adherents to making quick profits but many risks. Not many are successful unless they change their course to become a holder. Among other things, major accidents in trading practices are the problem of fees that you must always pay in every trade made, often also experiencing losses due to panic and that falls into two categories in two things, loss capital, fee costs you must pay.
So of course choosing to be a long-term investor is a wise choice with the main goal of buying bitcoin not other crypto.
