While investing in crypto market, there is basically a simple strategy, you either invest for short term or long term. Some people also do short term and long term investment at the same time.

I realized a long time ago that cryptocurrency is no longer a good asset for short-term investment and even for a period of 5 years I will not get a very large profit. Most of my assets I will keep for more than 10 years and I am willing to wait that long for a profit

Well, I also believe that you earn better rewards with long term investment. if you are patient enough to wait for 5-10 years, you might make profits. However, sometimes meme coins can give you good rewards in short term

Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments can yield high returns if timed well, especially in volatile markets like stocks or cryptocurrencies. However, the potential for loss is equally high in the short term. You may choose high-risk assets with the potential for quick gains, but the overall volatility of the market can also result in significant losses.

Long-Term Investments: Long-term investments tend to grow at a more stable, predictable rate over time. You might expect lower annual returns compared to short-term trading, but the power of compounding interest, reinvested dividends, and consistent growth often leads to larger accumulated returns over many years.
