Short-Term Mindset:
Short-term traders focus on quick profits, actively buying and selling cryptocurrencies to capitalize on price volatility. This approach often involves day trading or swing trading, with positions held for hours or days.
Long-Term Mindset: 
Long-term investors hold digital assets for extended periods, often years, believing in the potential growth of specific cryptocurrencies. They prioritize fundamental analysis, focusing on the underlying technology and market trends.

Combining short-term and long-term strategies can boost investment performance. Allocate part of your portfolio to short-term trades while keeping core long-term holdings. Short-term trading offers quick gains, but a long-term approach builds resilience and sustainable growth. Balancing these mindsets helps navigate the crypto market with confidence.
