I think short-term trading has a very dangerous risk when the price collapses suddenly, it will make you trapped at a high price and of course short-term trading will waste your opportunity to buy coins at a cheap price because it will only follow the last movement of that coin. So, despite the risks involved, I think long-term trading is still the best.
Why it is very dangerous? When you trade shortly, it means you don't need to set a too high target. Moreover, if we choose daily trade, we mostly only take small profits. With that target, I think it will be quite safe, should be safer than long term. Sure, there will be always risks, no trading is 100% safe. That's why we must use a proper strategy in our trading.
Everyone has a strategy for trading and investing in cryptocurrencies. In fact, it is safest in the long term if you buy at the bottom or bearish season and hold until the bullish season. For daily trading it is also good, but we can only get a small profit.
Well, obviously, they provide the same benefit to the person who does it, meaning there is no loss as long as the coin you buy is right and you are sure of the choice you make. But, of course, which of the two is your priority as a trader?
At least if we know ourselves, whether we are long-term holders or day traders, After all, we can do that at the same time. To be honest, there are many people doing that, including myself.
