I prefer to maintain long-term investments. I want to get a profit to buy a house. I hold ethereum for me to sell when the price goes up. I am sure that time will come.
I'm starting to practice the believer approach, buying small amounts with extra funds and just hold it. There are some cheap properties in smaller towns, vacation land, would be interesting to save money that way. Ether works great and is a great platform for ICO's, reasonable fees and speed as well, also accepted in many places so its not hard to spend, sell, exchange.
