If you have a lot of time to make short-term investments, you can also get bigger profits than long-term investments. but for those who are busy with work in the real world choose to invest for the long term. I try to do both, only I don't often do daily trading just buy and set sell orders according to the targets I set for the short term.
I think the long term investment offer bigger profits than short term investment. We won't get a very significant change in Bitcoin price for a short term. But for the long term, it is very possible to have significant change in Bitcoin price. You can imagine that you bought some Bitcoin when it was below $20k in 2022. Now, the price is already above $59k, the chance is significant right? But if you just bought the Bitcoin few days or weeks ago, the price isn't change significantly yet.
For people who are busy in their real-life activities, it is recommended to choose the long term investment. But for people who still have free time, they can do both. It is always good to do short and long term investment together.
If you just think about buying bitcoin at $20K in 2022 and selling it now at $59K, we have already made a lot of profit. Why don't you think about buying bitcoin in 2022 at $20K and selling it when bitcoin reaches ATH at $73K, then buying it again when there is a correction that goes down, then selling it again when the bitcoin price is back near ATH and you do this repeatedly, which one is more profitable.
I think the best way to do it when the price is corrected is the opportunity to buy it and when the price increases according to what we want, then it is to immediately sell it, then we will get the price difference that we can accept as profit. But that moment is not always there, actually when, after the halving period has passed then there is an opportunity to do that, because the movement continues to repeat up and down in the last few months, and maybe it will continue until the end of the year.
I think short-term trading, like looking for the difference between increases and decreases, is very profitable because, the momentum does exist and, of course, besides making long-term investments.
