Bitcoin Forum

People have often compared crypto to stocks since owning a coin, represents your "share" of the decentralized blockchain network. Exchanges act as brokers in a similar fashion to traditional stocks. While stocks are fiercely regulated, crypto is the "wild west". Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, while stocks are much more stable. Despite crypto/Blockchain tech's popularity, stocks are still preferred by mainstream investors and traders alike.

Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks? Is crypto getting closer to becoming regulated just like stocks? What do you think will happen if institutional investors come into play? Will stocks transition themselves to the Blockchain? Or is it still too early to tell? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Stock is so much stable than crypto and holding stocks takes longer to actually make big money out of them than crypto, in crypto cycle the highest you can hold and wait is four years but stock requires longer years to actually make insane amount of money

For me the choice is cryptocurrencies following are the reasons :.

1. You don't have to wait for a specific time to sell your Cryptos

2. You do have better options to invest since there is no minimum or maximum requirements.

3. Cryptos are mostly controlled by people and not any institution or body so it kind of bounces back and is not dependent on one downfall

4. It's more secure and more anonymous ofc not entirely

5. You can use it as a currency also and send money to around the world at much lesser rates.

Etc...

Honestly the list goes on but I do like crypto better more Volatility means more chances of earning in trading !

I love crypto and stocks. many say stocks are relatively few in terms of returns, whereas crypto has a 1000% return. Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, I am very grateful for the presence of crypto and stocks that have changed the way people think about investing. although I would still choose crypto as a handle. because honestly I was made to fall in love with crypto. not because of the benefits alone, but because of the freedom to organize, send, receive and what crypto has to offer.
I'm still young, and I don't want to be left behind with the growth of crypto, which has become a place to store personal finances for the future.

One thing I would like to state here is that Stocks and crypto both have almost different intent. Most of the cryptocurrencies are created with the intent that they could be used as a medium of the transaction so what's the point of holding them as an investment? While yes it's true that some projects do create crypto with the intent of raising money but stocks are still better. Reasons are simple if you buy stocks of some company you actually get to control the company and its decisions that thing is not possible with cryptos even if you have majority coin holding with you. The company is not legally bound to listen to you. So for businesses and investments, stocks are better. But trading is a game of volatility and the crypto market is an ocean of volatility. You get the most profits while trading in a volatile market only.

I don't have any other investment when I've entered crypto and to me, crypto is always been better than stocks. In my experience, that gave me good profit even though I'm not really a trader but with holding it, gave me cash which I've made by just doing nothing.

I now start to see mainstream and stock investors going into crypto. They're also adopting and they probably have understood that volatility is an advantage to them since they're also risk takers.

For me, crypto is much better than stocks in some ways but there are some that stocks are better than crypto. For crypto, it makes a bigger profit at such a short time when compared to a stock which takes over a decade to even possibly reach 1/4 of the growth of crypto in a year. For stocks, they are more insured compared to crypto which means that there is no possibility of going home losing in stocks if they or you lost it unlike crypto where you are your own bank.

In my case crypto is better. Stocks require too much regulation and it is not accessible to a lot of people. With crypto it is much easier to invest in it and there are many other use cases beyond simply just buying it and waiting for the value to go up. It can be used as a payment, you can gamble with it, interact with smart contracts and so many other things.

Each has their own merits of investing though, crypto still has an uncertain future since it isn't as old as stocks yet which means that in the next 50 years, they might be worthless unlike stocks that has proven to last that long although you can't gain a big profit in such a short time with stocks so to each of their own.

Talking on regulation or if crypto has come close to regulation, the world is adopting cryptocurrency but blockchain does not have anything to do with regulation itself. Countries can regulate or limit crypto transactions in their area alone, they can not have power over other nation's crypto practice.

It is not early to talk about regulation because people are already investing hugely to avoid certain scam.

I hold both Bitcoin (not crypto, just Bitcoin) and stocks. Bitcoin has been the most profitable asset of the last decade and looks set to remain so in the next decade and beyond. In addition, it has other advantages that I believe have been well enumerated by fiulpro:


I started investing in the stock market long before I started investing in Bitcoin and I guess that's why I keep it, purely for diversification.

I think both crypto and stock are two different kind of investment. In stock you are investing in a company and you got some share for your participation, while in crypto you are investing in a speculative token that have nothing to do with the company.
But if you asking for which one is more profitable, I can say it is crypto.

I wouldn’t agree that crypto is completely a “wild west”, because a lot of it is already regulated in many countries. First of all, I mean completely legal trading and tax policy, and the fact that cryptocurrencies are used as a completely legal means of payment.


I don't think you can expect people on the crypto forum to say that they value stocks more than crypto, not only because crypto has brought extremely high profits to many, but also because cryptocurrencies are something that can allow people not to be completely dependent on the existing financial system. Many therefore disapprove of the growing interference of banks and various other institutions in the crypto sphere because they feel that the noose around the idea of decentralization is tightening.

Institutional players are already there, at least the ones we know about publicly - but I personally think there are many more who have been investing in crypto under the radar for years. Their problem (if it can be called that at all), is that they traditionally trust stocks or gold more than Bitcoin, but this is quite understandable, especially with older investors who will hardly or not at all change their habits.

You can't really compare them, even in cryptos you aren't neccessarily investing to the protocol, but being a speculative trader of some placeholder token. Meanwhile owning a stock makes you literally a share holder. And i am not talking about synthetic "stocks" or derivatives that you can trade in crypto exchanges.

I don't think these two can be comparable because it will depend on individual preferences like if you are a person who is more challenging and risky then crypto would suit your taste but if you prefer the less risky and stable one then the stock would be better for you. I don't think crypto would be completely regulated due to the fact that most of the coins here are decentralized and it can be only regulated through centralizing exchanges. If you would ask me I prefer crypto of course since it is more volatile meaning more profitable in a single amount of time but could also dangerous if it the market dumps, so basically investing in crypto market is like a double-edged sword.

I think there a some quite big differences between stocks and cryptos. For example, with stocks you tend to get dividends, so for HODL investors it is nice if you have a decent dividend return on your portfolio. While with cryptos we don't usually earn money during HODL, only when we sell the coins. Also institutional investors are already heavily invested into bitcoins, without their large wallets I wouldn't expect Bitcoin to be around 60,000 USD. So the more investors we see in the future, the higher price should be.

It depends on what you mean by better.  I happen to think that stocks are better if you're talking about retirement accounts and owning investments that provide income (in the form of dividends).  The latter is one thing that bitcoin doesn't provide, although other coins do--and I'm thinking of proof-of-stake coins in particular here.  And as far as owning stocks vs. bitcoin for the long term, I'd have to go with stocks simply because they're much less volatile and have a longer track record. 

But if you're talking about trading and making short-term profits, I'd say crypto is the way to go (although you could certainly make money trading stocks). 

Now that would be interesting.  I'd love it if you could buy and sell stocks 24 hours a day like you can with crypto, and I think the 9:30am-4pm M-F stock market hours are quaint but very outdated.  I think if blockchain technology could be incorporated into the stock market, that might just become a reality.

But in any case, stocks and crypto are two different things even though they have some similarities.  Bitcoin can be used as a currency, whereas stocks certainly can't.  In that respect I think of bitcoin as closer to gold--at least in the old days when it was used as money--than stocks.  But that's a comparison that's been made ever since the beginning of bitcoin, and it's a tired one IMO.

Cryptocurrencies are secure, decentralized, and don't need KYC to own after the ICO phase.
Functions such as providing profits from the staking of cryptocurrencies are the same as the annual dividends of stocks.
You can trade cryptocurrencies 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
Trading stocks will get more complicated because we have too many rules that apply to the exchanges or how to convert stocks.

Many people says that crypto market and stock market are the same in which if you know how to trade in stocks or how to buy a stocks in which you will be having a good profit, you can also do it on the stock market which is wrong because in stocks it is like buying some limited amount of shares in one's company but in crypto you are just buying some tokens and coins in which you can sell immediately if it pumps up not like on stocks you will wait the company to become good and successful in order to grow your shares.

If you ask which is the better of them.  So it depends on which side you want to compare.  For me, as an appraiser of investment instruments in terms of risk, the types of stocks and crypto have the same risk, namely volatile but the levels are much more volatile than stocks, besides stocks have a clear basis, namely the company and its production factors, while Crypto does not have it and only focuses on demand.  and offers on the market.  However, everyone who has a high risk, the return will be much higher too.  If you are a resk taker then crypto is better.

The concept of stock market and cryptocurrency is seems to same one.But both was a different one.For a stock,the holding period must be month atleast ,in crypto you can get the profit in a day or week.Only the market analysis is important one.You should be very active to get a good profit.Or else you can earn a margin profit from it.Based on the investment you will get profit.

Crypto market is too volatile that trading it daily can be profitable but they are both the same in a way of buying and selling some shares in stock or token in crypto since we were able to gain some profit whenever these companies or project increases their value. The only difference is the volatility that makes us earn fast in crypto due to adoption rate it experiences as well some stocks exchanges we're limited depending on what countries we are.

This isn't true in a general sense and certainly not true if you're losing money in crypto. People just take for granted that bitcoin goes up no matter what in the long term and this isn't a given that is proven out yet because the historical data is there to back it up.  10 years is not a long time frame to conclude that bitcoin will never stop reaching new all time highs.  Further, bitcoin doesn't outperform speculative tech stocks anymore, so there are more volatile stocks and better return opportunities if you're just looking to take a big bite of risk.

     Honestly, I prefer both than choosing just 1. Primarily because they both have good traits and of course share a lot of bad traits as well. At the end of the day, a person should only choose whee he is more comfortable with than forcing himself to folkow others just because they see it is more beneficial (for them maybe). But the thing is, we all are different in many ways which makes it possible for one thing to be working great for one and not for the other. Just focus on what you ae used to or do both if you want. There is no wrong or right. Let profits show you the way :))

I think cryptocurrencies are a fairly young market and much more volatile than stocks. Two things follow from this think. The first is positive - you can earn more. The second negative - you can lose faster. I unambiguously choose the cryptocurrency market.

Im not really sure why do you ask this kind of question when the answer is already obvious. Its crypto and you are asking this question in a crypto forum. If someone really prefer stocks over crypto then I dont see any reason for that guy to be active in this forum. We are all here because we have trust on crypto to some degree


Crypto trading is definitely not for everyone but instead of holding shares for 10 years, you would have gotten alot more for 10 years just by holding top crypto like btc or eth

I do not think that stocks or crypto is the same. If you want to compare bitcoin to something you can compare it to either a currency like dollar or euro, or you could do something like gold which would be correct as well.

Stocks are only depending on the success of a company and if that company is doing good then the price of that stock goes up, there is nothing that ties bitcoin price to something like that, it is only valuable if people think it is valuable, which is why it is closer to something like gold. At the end of the day if you want to see bitcoin to be more like stocks, you could find some defi projects which are as good as what the project is doing, if the project is doing good, that means that crypto will be doing good as well and if it is not doing good that means it will not be doing good neither. But those are only a few and rare so we can't say it about all crypto.

Both crypto and stock have their own positive and negative sides. Crypto may be giving us more profits but it also requires more risks. because crypto is more volatile.
However right now, maybe the stock market is likely getting dropped. many traders of stocks are moving to crypto because they are willing to gain more and more profits. however, they often only focus on getting the profits without going or willing to learn about crypto itself.

We all seen how correlated crypto and stock back then during March 12, 2020. We have huge whales from stock market that has flood into cryptocurrency due to swift and fast gain associated with cryptocurrency.
Talking about profit in stocks, one have to engage in margin trade in order to earn more and also since there volatility is very low compared to crypto. Many of investors from stock has diversify their money into both crypto and stock.
If I'm to choose in between stock and crypto, I will choose crypto because of financial freedom that comes with it. I don't need a government to tell me how to and when to with my shares.

Cryptocurrencies are superior to stocks in so many ways in my opinion. The biggest advantage that cryptocurrencies hold is the anonymity factor which allows us to buy and sell them without worrying about external factors.

The next big advantage of cryptocurrencies is its volatility which could help you win or lose big amounts in a short span of time(High risk, High reward) in my opinion. This could also be observed as a disadvantage to some people.

There are several more advantages like easier learning curve etc due to which I always prefer cryptocurrencies over stocks.

i agree of what you have said above.. For me if we will make a comparison which is better, of course its crypto currency it gives more opportunity than stock market, that's why more ppl on it choose to hold for long term.  Indeed some stock traders  make bitcoin as back job because of the volatility wherein they can earn so much on it unlike on the other side. Although stocks market is more reliable when it comes long term..

I will choose crypto over stocks because of the advanced anonimity, high level of security and the 'wild west' regulations. In fact, only companies related to crypto are regulated, not cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurreny serves human' will and the innovation of new technology, while stocks serve only a company path.

Bitcoin is harder to be manipulated while stocks are easier to be controlled

---

Amalgamations have been found between crypto and stocks although it only happens in a low scale. In the future, I believe amelioration will either bring stock closer to cryptocurrency or destroy it completely. No matter what the result is, crypto will replace traditional assets because of the easier accessibility

But due to the anonymity factor in the crypto market, your responsibility in crypto will be especially important than the stock market, the reason is that the government is not here to protect you, the world without rules will be very profitable but also increase the risk. The best thing about crypto is probably the dominance of the ideas and allowing the project to go very far from its original valuation but in general, the selection should be based on principles of preference and knowledge, not just listening to the compliments of a third party.

I don't just rely on a single form of investment. Crypto is having a huge possible gain compared to a traditional business or stock market but because of its volatility features, it turns out that not really safe in the long run. Having them both is a good option to take but I'll put a big share on the stock market than in crypto. Because what I think is that investment is not just how much we get in the future but what we have to look for is guaranteed profit assurance which I believe that the stock market can do better than crypto.

However, I don't really agree with you.  You say that Crypto is not very safe for investing for a long time maybe because you haven't tried it.  A friend of mine said that in 2010 he invested $ 1000 for 1000 BTC and still keeps his BTC to this day.  In approximately 11 years, he has become a millionaire.  Is it really unsafe for a long time?  He did not expect his life to have changed so much since the decision that was taken in 2010.

1: Stocks can be issued at will to extend crowdfunding compared to the limited supply and availability of cryptocurrencies, which is probably the main reason why I chose cryptocurrencies.  Although compared to stocks, cryptocurrencies are still more risky, but it will be the future, not stocks. 
2: Liquidity.  Securities have too many cumbersome, complicated rules, take a lot of papers, signatures, take too much time.  Crypto is always ready at any time.

Completely different asset classes imo.

With a few exceptions, cryptos do not generate cash flows, whilst stocks indeed have a internal rate of return.

However, this is not to say that crypto is inferior to stocks as a long term hold. In fact, I would argue the exact opposite - even though yes, in the medium run stocks will generate stable cash flows, in the long run you hold BTC to hedge against an imminent fiat collapse as a store of value more than anything else.

Definitely not black and white. There are usage cases for either as an investment vehicle depending on your needs.

Crypto and stocks market both got their own ways and their own supply and demand. As you said, some people will say crypto is just like stocks and they will say let's buy a share of bitcoin stocks. They are wrong and depending on your own thoughts and risk level you can choose your way to buy bitcoin and crypto currencies or bitcoin. Comparing to stocks market, crypto is much more risky and of course this will give you more reward.

Even if crypto future is uncertain, I am still going yo make money out of it while it is still kicking and alive. Stocks need a lot of capital to make a considerable gain before you can consider making a passive income out of it, and you said it already, that the returns in crypto is faster than stocks.

I honestly knew nothing much when it comes to stock market. All I knew is it is both risky. My friend introduce stock market to me somehow but on a different perspective. There will be other people or there will be a company that will manage my money on stocks. They will make it grow according to the economy of the country. In that case, I just need to sit back, relax, wait and there is no need for a deeper analysis regarding stocks. But of course there will be time that there will be no profit due to the economy is down but still I have to pay them. I am not sure if this is a good idea. To be honest I still doubt and I am afraid. When it comes to crypto I know I already lose a lot way back 4 years ago that comes to the point wherein I almost quit crypto but here I am again. Both good opportunity yet risky.

I know little about stocks and I had never invested in it so I think my answer will be biased here.
Cryptocurrencies.
It's easy. You are your own bank and manager. You don't need the help of anyone (broker) to buy it. You just need to sign up with an exchange, use your bank account to buy it and your invested. Selling and buying doesn't have deep explanation too. You just input your order and wait for it to be filled.
People before rely on stability and security and stocks is the answer for that but not in this era.
Higher risk with higher profit. We want a faster way to make money rather than rely with the old ways where it doesn't move much.

Both types of assets have their respective advantages/disadvantages. You'd just to have to know when to take advantage of them for your own financial gain. As long as you're able to remain financially independent, nothing else matters. Those who're able to manage both crypto and stocks will obtain greater opportunities for profit than those who only hold one of the two. Investors trust stocks more than crypto, because they're stable and widely regulated by mainstream governments. But things could change as crypto becomes more popular in the mainstream world.

Nonetheless, it's up to you to decide which type of asset to invest for your own financial benefit. As long as you're able to minimize losses, you'll be able to avoid bankruptcy in the long run. I'd stay with crypto since it brings higher rewards than stocks themselves. The only downside is that the risks are higher with crypto than with stocks. Hopefully, stocks will make use of Blockchain technology in order to bring an influx of institutional investors and traders into crypto land. Just my opinion :)

As you may guess since we are in a bitcoin forum most people are going to prefer bitcoin over any other type of investment, the great advantage of stocks is that stocks can pay dividends unlike bitcoin, now some coins have tried to imitate this behavior but the problem is that they have done so by becoming PoS when we know the best way to secure the network is PoW and as such that is a compromise that we should never accept.

could you provide more details why PoW is the best way to secure the network, seems that you put it here as dogma, while it is far from being the one and only way to secure the network
there are ways to receive dividend regardless of PoS, but of course stocks and crypto are not the same, stock are dealing with ownership rights, crypto should repurpose complete management for companies, with DAO in process

Here in my country, only people with complete knowledge and businesses can go with stocks but with crypto, there is no discrimination. Stocks needs requirements that an ordinary individual cannot provide but with crypto, DYOR is the only thing we need and centralized requirements like KYC's are optional.

To trade of stock,you need to verify the kyc.It's more or less a criticism by the investors.Based on their investment,they will need to pay the money as a tax.Tax paying is not a obstacle,it only hurt you when you are forced to pay huge amount as a tax.To avoid such things,investment on a crypto will be better option for traders.In some platform,no need to verify kyc.

People might make the comparison between crypto and stocks often, but it's usually a shallow comparison. No doubt, lots of people have gotten rich from cryptocurrency but that was mostly down to luck rather than painstaking analysis that can take place with companies. There is a lot more historical fact to base your stockmarket investing on than the just over 10 years that bitcoin has been around, so trends have a lot more evidence (even recessions tend to have an average frequency). When you look at a company you should see clear inputs and outputs, with the profits either being paid out in dividends or reinvested in expansion. Some companies have over 50 years of dividend growth, which means their payout to shareholders has progressively grown over time through good and bad markets.

When you look at Bitcoin, nobody really knows why it is moving up in price, other than it is a desirable  and limited quantity "digital gold" asset that can avoid banking regulation - allowing it to be sold to another person at an ever greater price. Lots of people like the very rapid upwards trajectory of Bitcoin, punctuated by a few rapid falls in value, but personally I like the slow and steady approach that owning stocks allows. It's helpful to have both, but I think Bitcoin (like precious metals) should make up a small portion of any long term investment portfolio because it is so volatile.

I prefer crytocurrency more than stocks because in cryto there is no minimum or maximum amount to buy or sell.In terms of stability stock is more stable than crytocurrency while cryto is more volatile which guarantes more profits in terms of trading.Crytocurrencies can easily increases in value when kept for some short period of time while stocks takes longer time sometimes years before it appreciate in values so I will definitely go with crytos.

Crypto is already being regulated in some places , centralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency market are where the regulation starts, and that’s where it ends, because they can’t continue keeping an eye on it when it’s out of there. When it comes to decentralized exchanges you don’t know who owns an address, exchanges are P2P and people don’t reveal their identity. But as for centralized exchanges, it’s always clear who owns the address because users have to submit some of their information and sometimes full information that will disclose everything about them, and that helps regulators to know everything about them.

You can buy as much as you can with crypto but the exchanges have also limits and minimum amount. But what's good with them is that the minimum amount is really a small amount that can be followed by every kind of investor and trader.

I agree about stocks, the stocks are growing and needing a long time to grow.

This kind of comparison will always stay as long as the top re still ongoing. However never, it may also depend on the treaty and also fund management.
Nowadays, many traders from stocks are coming into cryptoruccery. This is because of the very high price volatile because i, it can give them bad impact old

But here, what's about the shitcoints that are used to be very hype and then attract so many people playing that gambling casino both online and hoffline??

Short term or long term in my opinion these two instruments are not much different.  Stocks are also suitable for the short term as well as crypto.  However, the most crucial thing is that crypto does not have an underlying asset whereas stocks do not.  Because the underlying asset is clear, the risk of stocks is also not that great, it makes sense that the resulting return is lower than crypto.

Asking someone which one to choose between stock and crypto in a crypto dominated forum is pretty much a useless thing since the majority is going to be favoring cryptocurrency.

I think it is still possible to make stock in form of cryptocurrency as long as it is regulated and not anonymous. Not all stocks are good just like cryptocurrencies, there are only bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies that are good. For now I prefer bitcoin because although it is volatile but sometimes it's benefit me. If I there is a company that give big amount of dividend then I'll think about it, maybe I will be more focus on stocks if there is company like that, but unfortunately many companies use the profit that it get for company's improvement.

Honestly I did not invest a single penny into stocks in last ten years. Yeah, even before I was entering into the crypto space, I have lost all my faith on stocks because of economy rate of my country. After I got into crypto world, I invested all my efforts only into bitcoins and then I went for slight diversification. In recent times, after pandemic, I read how consistently few of stocks are performing even in hard times which made to think about investing into stocks but I simply ignored my second thoughts as I have bitcoins and I do not need to go for anything else. But, I will invest in real-estate and gold for my tradition reasons.

You are right! Probably the majority of us never had anything with stocks, the only place where we hear about stock exchanges is in the movies and some serials (at least in my case), so why would we even think about stocks and all that when we have crypto, and that works just fine for us!
And I guess once someone tastes crypto and freedom that crypto offers, without unnecessary documentation, procedures, etc... it's kinda hard to even think about trying to trade with stocks, or for some people to return to that!

Short term profit? it's definitely crypto. maybe I'll only buy certain stocks if there's only a big enough event to significantly influence the price, apart from that, I really prefer crypto. Crypto is simpler, easier and is also able to generate decent profits in a short time when compared to stocks

Do you remember the game stop incident in January that made the world bustling?  Immediately many players shared complaining and turned to Crypto.  all will turn to crypto in time.  In terms of stock security, it is safer because it is fully regulated, the company can be reached.  while crypto is almost no clarity physically, but the profit is very pronounced

But that doesn't mean that we have to not dabble with stock though, I mean that is still a way to make money and I think that you should be slowly diversifying your portfolio as it grows because we all know how the crypto bucket is volatile so having some form of stock in your portfolio, you can be less worried when the bucket is on the red because you still make money.

I am little confused with your comment; you are seeming like talking about the benefits of stocks and crypto at a time. Game stop incident led people to adopt crypto, fine but stock is regulated hence it is secured, I do not think so because even registered corporates go bankrupted at times. Why you need clarity physically? I mean do you refer anything like you need more proof?

Both are having some level of risks but when considering benefit levels, why not we go along with high ROI thing? Moreover crypto is decentralized which makes less prone to getting disappointments unlike stocks investments.

All of them are good, and they all works. It’s just up to you to decide what’s best for you and you follow that. Stocks are good, and I invest in it and also invest in cryptocurrency. Invest in bonds as well, you just have to make sure that you have your investment in different places to be generating income for you. My first investment that I made was with bitcoin, that’s what convinced me to start investment, at first I wasn’t the type that’s into investing my money, I just put them in savings and that’s it. But when I discovered bitcoin and invested in it, I decided to start trying out other investments as well.

I do not get why people have to go with stocks. The real reason why we are in this mess economically is the stock market and people are too blind to see it. Why? Well simply every company in the world that has a stock needs to keep profiting and keep profiting in order to keep the share holders happy right?

Well, if there is a finite amount of money in the world that means one day one company will own all the money in the world if they keep profiting constantly.

We know that won't happen so there is a money printing going on, which means companies are capable of making more profit since there is more money printing. We all know printing money doesn't solve any issues and the debt in every nation grows bigger and bigger, inflation gets worse and the people at the bottom are the ones who are paying for all this issue. So crypto is definitely the way to go for me.

Crypto definitely better, so many millenials has now switching over to crypto since it's just more profitable and the problem with stock market more specifically coming from third world countries the manipulation is rampant by the whales, the price could literally be controlled by the whales through the use of their massive capital meanwhile most of cryptocurrencies nowadays already have big market which make such thing hard to do.
There's this trend of leaving stock market for crypto around the world and if that's true meaning people already see crypto as a better option for investment.

It is certain that there are good projects in both the kirpro money market and stocks. however, this choice varies according to the way you invest. For example, we once saw the rise of health stocks due to covid. I guess it takes a shorter rise in stocks. I don't know the stocks well, but it's definitely not a place for someone with hopes of getting rich pretty soon.

Crypto and stocks have always been the favorite comparison of majority when it comes to the topic of investments. However, these two serves their own purposes and I believe they are intended for different reasons, only that they have similar functions such as in terms of investing, hence people pit them from one another.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency which may serve as an alternative to fiat money. It is decentralized, meaning there's no entity, organization, or institution that controls and regulates. It used in online transactions only that, it provides stricter security when it comes to identity. It is also a medium and platform to generate money such as when joining the paid campaigns and by investing. Meanwhile, stock market is centralized which stocks belong. It is regulated by the government to avoid and manage the emergence of fraudaulent transactions and illegal activities. Stocks are equities that are part or portion of a company or corporation. People usually invest in stocks because of its long term value.

Personally, I think its better to have both because both can generate good stream of income. They can make your money profit in a certain span of time and are nice platform to put the hard-earned money because of its potentials and function. However, also take note that these mediums are also risky. So invest at your own risk. Crypto is volatile. So is the stocks depending on the economy's trend.

Invest wisely. Diversify. Never put all of your eggs in one basket because it can cost you so much later.

Still, cryptocurrency and stocks have a lot in common. For the purpose of conducting transactions and using as a means of payment, only general purpose coins are created. However, a significant portion of the cryptocurrency is tokens. They have a lot in common with stocks, as they serve certain programs or business. Shares give you the right to control only if you own a certain percentage of their issue. Typically, this is 51 percent. If you have the same percentage of the total issued tokens, you can also influence their price movement.
However, the cryptocurrency market and the stock market are distinguished primarily by the high volatility of cryptocurrency prices and the absence of their direct regulation so far.

Kirpro money market?

Do you mean crypto?

There are many stocks that have rose when the covid pandemic has started. But the main event and most rose did happened in the crypto market.

For which has been led by bitcoin and there were altcoins that moved more than the percentage that bitcoin did.

Influencing price movement is a concern here. Stock gives you a right to control the project or the company or at least influence the major decisions and also appoint key managerial personnel of the company but cryptos on the other hand don't have this feature. They don't give you the right to influence the decisions of the project. Forget about decisions they don't even offer you the facility to ask for accountability of any project if you hold a certain set of tokens. While shareholders command complete accountability on the affairs of the Company. This is what is the major difference I am talking about.

I agree on this. Both industry have some similarities, soon crypto will become regulated like stocks so the big guys have more ability to manipulate. At least recent activities from U.S government give us the proof it will happen. I've been here a long time and I would not tolerate such activities and completely against Bitcoin. Crypto thing should not be regulated but at some point I can't differ but Bitcoin should maintain it nature. I'm just not here to trade, it's something beyond our thinking.

I do not consider stocks and crypto even remotely close to each other at all. You may live in a nation where stock market is doing good, or it could be a nation where companies are ahead of politicians, for example if you are in USA it is a good idea to have money in stock markets and that's fine, especially if you find a good company to invest into.

However you should remember there are 100+ nations where companies are not doing well because of politics and because of how the nation is bad, hence putting your money into crypto is basically saying "I believe crypto will profit me more than my nation can do in any way" and that is a proven fact for so many nations. I could have bought the best profitable stock of the last year and it wouldn't be 50% of what bitcoin did for example, and that is the most profitable stock, that is why I do not see any point on investing into them if you are in one of those nations.

I was also thinking about this about a week ago, and also thinking about eTORO as that platform is the one recommended to me by some friends. I have notice that the movement on value to stocks are quite slow, so as a user, I'd rather go with crypto instead especially if we are talking about bitcoins.

Indeed, stock is more stable and more safer than crypto currency. They believe that stock never fall in price because they have a real function in the real life comparing to crypto currency who just still be questioned by some people for its function because just a few coin which can be used and be seen its function in the real life.

 This is why that will make the stock price is more stable because their investor will be comfortable to still hold their investment. But, it is just a procces, I believe since the development of times and the digitalization system has been widely used by everyone, the function of crypto currency will be immediately felt by many people so as every investor's crypto can comfortably store their money in crypto currency.

Quite a lot of people invest in the both (Crypto and Stocks), others prefer one of the two, thus imo, it's down to the individual and what sort of ROI they are seeking, as well as the space of time they are willing to let the investment grow. It'd be much better to use Bitcoin in place of crypto, cause quite a lot of crypto (excluding Btc & a few other alts) are pump and dump coins, having said that, the thing is that investors will choose an investment option that they understand, are comfortable with and can somewhat predict, thus I'd not pick which is better on the general point of view, as every individual's case can be different.

Crypto trading is definitely not for everyone but instead of holding shares for 10 years, you would have gotten alot more for 10 years just by holding top crypto like btc or eth

I totally agree with you. Since the cryptocurrency market is still very young, its growth potential is unlimited. The entire capitalization of the cryptocurrency market at the moment is only 2.5 trillion dollars. For the stock market, these are mere pennies.

while in stock have feature short selling , i am sure it will like condition in crypto market. stock price oftenly drop due fundamental , it have less manipulation that make price drop just like happen in crypto market. but i am believe investors now start shifting their money into crypto too due many adoption in real life from crypto projects.

If it is ROI we are talking about then probably crypto is going to champion over stocks because it got someone a million in just 10 years compared to stock. But if you want to be comfortable and don't worry about your investment getting stolen or having some sort of insurance then probably you should consider stocks, both have their own merits.

In my opinion, Crypto and stocks are related because indeed many new retail investors are currently shifting some of their investments and transactions from the stock market to crypto. Crypto momentum is currently a trend. can go up 100 to 1000 percent in a short time, making new investors interested in trying it, on the other hand, the condition of the capital market issuers is currently a bit sluggish and sideways in a place with a slightly corrected tendency, as the global stock market tends to be sluggish because currently, the US dollar is strong.

However, both instruments have their respective momentum, and transaction fluctuations are normal. When the stock market strengthens again, investors will automatically have the potential to return to busy transactions in stocks. So, be it the stock market or crypto market, there will be momentum respectively and will take turns going up or down.

I always prefer investing in crypto over stocks as crypto is much volatile than it, the higher the volatility of an asset then the higher the risk, the higher the risk then the higher the profit you may have. You are taking risks for investing in both assets so why bother investing in cryptocurrency if it can give you much profit in the future. Crypto is controlled by people and that is what I really want, unlike stocks which are controlled by an institution or even the government.

It depends on your preferences if you want to invest to those economic base go ahead but I think if we are talking about more volatile its better if we take a look with the cryptocurrency right now there are a lot of people makes an investment and trade with this kind of strategy and at the end of the day the only winner is the one who has a strong hand.

Are you willing to join the ride of the market volatile of crypto or a slow phase and took a long run of stocks? Also, the stocks handle by the big investors but in the crypt,o we have whales which are the best way to get rich immediately.

In all seriousness, I believe crypto is quite comparable with stocks but with much advance technology. In crypto trading, you could have much more profit in just a small amount of time as well as reverse. However, in stocks, it is believe historically that it's price goes upward but in a long run. Market volatility in crypto is also one of the vital aspect when it comes to comparing the two.

The securities market is legally regulated and therefore such manipulations that occur in the crypto market are impossible there. Although various types of abuse are also possible in the securities market, there is an SEC that counteracts such violations. In the crypto market, investors do not have protection from such manipulations of whales.

Indeed, as soon as we know the speed in terms of making profits and taking risks, not hesitate to choose crypto is a correct market because they do not work under government contracts, they work based on the ambitions of all investors and almost everyone's ambition is huge when they don't feel the regulation of government, which is why crypto is thriving and as a rival to the government. The stock market is a very specific market with the management of government and business, investors' ambitions are not shown here strongly

If you say that the crypto market is more volatile because of the higher ambitions of investors. Unfortunately, ambition is immeasurable and has relative value between all people. The measurement of ambition is not quantitative and more qualitative, therefore it would be very dangerous if people had ambitions that were not as fundamental as is currently the case in the crypto market. Coins that have very good fundamentals will be defeated by other coin memes and shit coins. Because the ambition of investors today is only an issue of influential people. This can destroy the natural value in the market.

There are very few places where you can exchange crypto anonymously and that number will continue to drop as necessary regulations move into place, such as KYC. Further, volatility is not a beneficial attribute of an asset. Day traders might like it, but people who want assets that actually protect wealth and not gamble with it will find volatility a huge detriment. Literally nothing you listed as a positive is an improvement in crypto over stocks.

That volatility allows people to lose a lot of money when they do not know what they are doing, and it allows them to make a huge profit when they know what they are doing. At the end of the day, if you want to make sure that you profit, then go buy gold and store it because that is the only guaranteed income in the long term and EVERYONE in the world can provide you a guarantee for something like that.

However at the end of the day if you have the courage to try, bitcoin (and other crypto) could actually make you more profit in one year than 10 years of stocks if you know what you are doing. For example, this year there was a chance of making x20+ with buying bitcoin at under 5k last year on march and then selling at 64k and buying bnb and selling at 640 that as well, that would have been insane. This is why I am in crypto, it is just by far much more profitable.

Well since stocks are regulated and all, a fraudulent activity that is sensed by the higher authority can always be rwported to the police and be investigated in a very easy and accessible manner. The same can be done to crypto fraud too. However, its security and anonymity that act as a very good entry feature also makes it very hard for these investigators to get in the bottom of the case and find its perpetrators, plus there's no insurance in crypto which as far as I know is available in stocks.

I think stocks and crypto both have an advantage for their holders. if you buy shares we will get a very thin profit and loss rate, on the other hand crypto gives us the opportunity to get a very large profit, but we can also get a very large loss.
people who want to invest in cryptocurrencies should learn about the cryptocurrencies to invest in because if we choose the wrong one, we will get a big loss.
we must look for crypto currency that has the potential so that we can benefit in the future.
if I am told to choose then I will choose both because they both benefit me.

For volatility and quick gain, crypto is way more advanced than stock. When it's hard to gain a 10% gain yearly in stocks sometimes on the other hand 10% gain is nothing in crypto. The reason for popularity and fear both are because of the high volatility of crypto. Many fear to take risk others wants to take a risk by seeing the high rewards. Crypto is much more preferable for me now. Over time the crypto market will also be stable I think.

Cryptocurrencies have decentralization and exchange rate difference. Anyone can trade cryptocurrencies 24 hours for 365 days a year without any difficulty. Some cryptocurrencies allow wagering for an annual return.
Stocks are usually limited by country or exchange time according to the rules of the stock exchange. Equity holders have annual dividends if the company does not make a loss.
There are currently some stocks such as Tesla, Apple, and Coinbase being listed on Binance as tokens. Converting shares to the blockchain is underway, but there are still many difficulties due to the regulations in each country and the permissions of each company.

Both crypto and stocks are good for investment, it’s up to you on the level of risk you can take, that’s what you have to put into consideration before making a choice. They can all make you profit, but the level of profit they can get you differs, it can be more in cryptocurrency and less in stocks, same thing with the loss; higher in cryptocurrency and lower for stocks.

Cryptocurrencies are already being regulated through CEX, unless you’re making use of a platform that is hundred percent decentralized and doesn’t require you to fill in every details about yourself before you can make use of it.

crypto and stocks have some similarity , both of them have same analisys in technical or fundamental so its should not be difficult for crypto traders who invest in stock or vice versa. we have several choice in market that will used as trading platform , day by day exchanges improve their services and they always upgrade feature.

I agree crypto and stocks do have a lot in common, one of them both need technical and fundamental analysis to read price movements
in the market. So it can accurately determine the right time to enter and exit the market. So both are mutually beneficial to do,
but maybe for someone who likes big risks and big rewards too. So choosing crypto is the right thing to do, because we know that volatile
crypto price movements have a very high risk. But if we can predict price movements, then it can generate a much greater profit than
the profit that can be made from investing in stocks.

Being better between crypto and stocks depend on the owner and user for both have qualities that are innate in them making people make engagement and stay with them or get into both of them. Crypto and stocks are both good in their own ways so do not bother do compare those two for we have different stands or perspective depending on how we see which is the superior and inferior among those two.

Exactly, they have their own winning qualities and like any other things, you can't win them all. I don't get how they have to choose between the two when they are both a viable option to look at if you consider investment. Crypto is volatile so you have to look for other investment that aren't less volatile and stocks comes into play plus stocks have varieties which you can invest to make more money.

for price movements crypto is indeed faster and more efficient. but regarding regulation and security, surely the people who want it will prefer stocks. Moreover, many stocks that have companies or legal entities that are recognized by the government. With this official license, many people are more likely to choose stocks that are considered less risky than crypto.
one word that best represents crypto in my opinion: freedom.

Crypto and stocks both are great investments for future returns. Crypto are much more volatile because of that there can be good profit and loss very quickly. On other hand stock price comes up,down with steady race so you fund not get crash very easily.

Depending on the amount of money available, if with a small amount of money I can accept investment in this market to be able to get profits quickly. But if I have a lot of money then I just see it as no different, criticize a little bit to get involved and choose a safer place, probably also inclined to the potential of current markets.

- Agree that stocks have a high degree of legality in countries but the stock market also has very high risk games, they are a game system with a global reach, the number of people is not small, so if we evaluate the risk, I feel the stock market is probably a lot more complicated, too many components could increase our loss. The crypto market is still relatively little known, almost all of us just need a relative knowledge of this market, narrowing down the scope of options and achieving profits is too much, the risk switch only turns on when we put more ambition

That's the advantage, if you think of the risk oth have it, but like what you mentioned, inside stocks there are so many

influence that you needed to consider, with so many factors to understand it take much longer time to have a much safer

venture, while with crypto which still small compared to stock market, enhancing your skills is more possible in a much

shorter period.

You're right being involved in crypto generally indicates someone is a riskier trader as compared to someone involved with the stock market, who is seen as a stable trader. But as someone who has done both, I can gladly say that even crypto has low risks if you invest and trade the right coins and coins with some face value and use-case.

Yes, trading crypto can be risky but that is if you are trading some relatively new and upcoming projects. If you invest in known coins with a solid market cap then almost never you will face a big drop in your portfolio because even in the worst times, the price of these top 20-50 coins hardly drops by much. I used to do margin trading with Bitcoins buying at a cheaper price and selling at a higher price, recently only I have started altcoins trading though because it was getting boring for me and trading isn't my primary source of income so I am looking at more potential gains.

Crypto investments are more short-sighted in general leaving apart Bitcoins while the stock market is all about vision and the futuristic value of the company you are buying shares of. I am not saying stocks is the better option but it is definitely the more viable option for someone with less knowledge because when you put money into some online projects and buy a coin, you are taking a much bigger risk.

I do have the same mentality because a small but guaranteed return is more viable for someone with a bigger bankroll while someone who is trying to build that bankroll/capital has to take some risks and which is what the crypto market can help you achieve.

Yes, everything that we strive to build and obtain also needs to be protected. 
And the process of creating it will help us to have a better understanding of all financial markets.

Stock is the old investment model that underwent over 400 years. and now is the 21th centuary when the new assets type and investment model appears, specifically they are digital assets and cryptocurrency. I will not compare about benefit and the stability between stock and crypotcurrency beacause almost people can know them right now. I want to see more ability of cryptocurrency and digital assets that how crytocurrency and digital assets will effect to the economy, in the current context, the economy can be damaged esasily more than ever.

I watched some new economy theories and concepts of young researchers, they are so specific. They are not ICO or Startup, they suggest application of cryptocurrency to combine with the current economic in their national, that is really so crazy, if they can do it, it will help a national develop rapidly. I remember that they are called NWCVN, I will find their contact and post it later.

For stock investing I haven't learned or bought stocks, so for now cryptocurrency investing for me is still superior to stock investing, since bitcoin and altcoin prices have gone up like crazy, many stock investors have started to switch to investing in the cryptocurrency.

KYC will further legitimize the crypto/Blockchain industry. But it'll threaten the core fundamentals of crypto which is privacy/anonymity. People will only be able to achieve anonymity if they transact with their crypto in a peer-to-peer manner (in-person). At least, the decentralized and open source nature of crypto/Blockchain tech will allow anyone to achieve privacy regardless of government regulations. Not like stocks which are heavily regulated and completely scrutinized by mainstream governments. We could say that each asset type has its respective advantages/disadvantages. The smart person will take every opportunity possible to exploit both asset types for his/her own financial benefit. If you can hold both crypto and stocks, good for you. But if you can only hold one of the two, I'd suggest you'd go for crypto.

Nonetheless, I believe that both crypto and stocks will co-exist for many generations. It's yet time where stocks haven't adopted Blockchain technology for their own benefit. If companies decide to issue stocks on the Blockchain, mainstream adoption will soar like crazy. It'll be the day where institutional investors and traders will join the game. Stocks will benefit from ultra-low fees and blazing-fast settlement times (depending on the type of Blockchain network, of course). A world of many possibilities is opened by unifying both asset types into the core Blockchain protocol. Ultimately, people will get to decide which asset type to invest into for either short-term or long-term gains. Just my thoughts ;D

Crypto is more of a stock for a super-mass user, and with almost any wallet. If classic stocks have some limitations or difficulties when buying and selling, then a crypt is an extremely convenient tool for investing, just as in one or another company. Yes, all companies are crypto platform manufacturers, but what's wrong with that ?! Risks, with today's regulation, are well minimized, the rules of the "game" are quite clear. In a word, cryptocurrencies have made it possible for almost the entire population of the planet to become investors or shareholders!

For most traditional, they would choose stock because they been used to it and they trusted it much, for them its easy to understand and they can see clearly how it goes but then because change is inevitable they should also accept that crypto is now in, and they are more convenient and more chances of having a big profit.  Crypto is gaining worldwide today and more and more investor choose to invest in crypto rather than stock

We'll you're right that in both bitcoin and stocks, generally the best thing you could have done is buy and hold. The more you're trading in and out of either, the more likely you are to miss the general upward trajectory of both. In short, the more you trade the less efficient you're being.

Cryptocurrencies are much more accessible than stocks because of their decentralized design. Anyone can start investing into crypto without the need to go through many regulatory hurdles associated with stocks. This is one of the many advantages crypto has over the traditional stock market. The only downside is that crypto is widely unstable, while stocks are quite the opposite. Investors are more confident on stocks than on crypto because they can rest assured their investment will not lose value overnight. Not to mention, regulations bring trust to the stock market itself.

One thing for sure, is that there is no perfect investment. Each asset type has its own advantages/disadvantages. Neither crypto will be able to replace stocks or vice versa. Investors will be able to choose from one asset type to another depending on their needs. I'd go with crypto anytime because it brings greater profits in the long run. But not everyone will find it attractive as a long-term investment. Since stocks are still relevant even with the rise of crypto/Blockchain tech, it looks like both asset types (crypto and stocks) will be here to stay for a long time. Just my thoughts ;D

For people who are not stopping to find more venue of investment they'll be embracing this new field,

crypto offer new ways of gaining profits, those institutional investors who's from the past are not really

interested with crypto are now also venturing to this field, seeking for good opportunities and  taking the

advantage of thier experienced. There's no comparison for true investors as they are all seeking for place

to earn decently.

crypto can give you money in a second if you really need it. you can sell directly coin you have. and its different with stock, like you need to wait until the appointed time. but, both of them give you good thing if people can manage what they do. its not who is better, sometime, people will choose what they like to,

Unfortunately old investors are too comfortable with stocks, they have a hard time trusting the new way of gaining profits. Therefore
the majority of investors in crypto are new investors from the millennial generation, who are more open to new things. But I really can't
blame the people who prefer stocks over crypto. They do this, because they do not understand crypto, because we know that there is a lot of
news spread in the people about misleading news about crypto. So it's very sad that there are still many people who haven't accepted crypto
right now and still choose to focus on investing in stocks. It does take a long process for everyone to realize that investing in crypto is indeed
better than investing in other assets.

Stocks are considered as the oldest financial market. in the world. While cryptocurrencies are an emerging market, they have the potential to be wildly lucrative. These two markets have many similar characteristics and are both financial investment channels  worth considering. Stock exchanges have a much longer trading history than cryptocurrency exchanges and therefore the level of market development is also higher. So I would choose stocks over cryptocurrencies.

So you mean you are not investing in crypto and just doing trading in stocks? then what are you doing here? Bounty Hunting for living and does not care about the crypto market?
you are nothing to be care for crypto if that is your stand and best to go away and leave this community , we don't need people that does not support crypto trading and investing over stock exchange.

But, after the recent dump the bitcoin market had, I have seen people leaving the crypto and it was quite heart breaking. At telegram we have a group of friends and like-minded people who discuss what we should do next and the day when Bitcoin reached $32k, almost 8-10 people left the group and I messaged them to see what happened, I got to know that all of them decided to never trade/invest in crypto ever again.

I tried to explain them that it is normal and happens every now and then and the market will recover but what one of them said made perfect sense, he said, if a coin/asset loses 50% value within days, chances are it is being manipulated by a big whale or a group of whales and a small trader cannot survive in such a manipulated market.

Pretty much agreed with this. Stocks are for boomers. Crypto has the real gains. The world is not what it used to be anymore. The time has changed. Stocks gain how much at best? %7? These are rookie numbers. Dogecoin went up by like what? 10000%? Now that's what I am talking about. That's how you make money. Now defi is also a thing, the whole stocks market will probably operate on ETH anyway. Why resist the tech? Those stubborn boomers have to die because they are going nuts on crypto lately. We won't have a crypto based economy any time soon unless the retarded boomers disappear.

I seconded your idea. We share similar interests in stock market. I don't know how they operate but I am very sure they are very similar to crypto in the sense of fundamental and technical analysis.
I don't know if in the future I might want to invest in stock but the gains here is already trappimg institutional investors from stock market into crypto, this is why bitcoin is sometimes correlated with bitcoin market. Corona March crash came into my mind :'(

That's so rude :P I am sure those boomers you talking about include mine and your grandfathers or even for someone's parents... I am very pro-crypto but I don't understand the hate on stocks, majority of us have heard about Bitcoin very early but we didn't invest that time and we all are here basically when crypto became so popular. It's a good thing to appreciate the current tech, but another thing to pour hate on the previous versions... Stocks are still more stable and reliable than majority of today's crypto coins excluding the already established coins and tokens.

I agree dude that was a bit out of line. However these fucks are trying to kill bitcoin. Stonkz are dead weight. Why would anybody invest in stonkz I don't get it especially when you are young. I'd rather invest in doge than investing in stonkz.

Reliable&Stable = Not fun.

Crypto will exterminate the legacy banking and the stonkz market anyway. Bitcoin is inevitable.

I couldn't agree more.  When I were still in college, the lecturer was very strong in saying that legitimate is an investment with the highest risk and those with small capital will not get rich by investing in stocks.  Regarding this, I thought back and laughed a little, that at this time I felt that stocks were not comparable to crypto when it came to risk.  Stocks also can't make you rich in my opinion is the right thing because per day, you can only get 2-5% profit per day.  If you look at crypto, per day you can get 10% profit if you choose the right coin.  It's much more interesting to master.  It is like, when you can tame a lion, even if you don't worry about skinning a tiger anymore.

Depending on the percentage of risk is the percentage of profiting. As in the quote, through stocks one can make promised profit of 2-3% regularly if he's an expert analyst about the stock market. The same isn't possible with the cryptomarket. One day there might be 10% profit, but the next day it can be a massive loss if the invested asset isn't the right one. However cryptocurrency investment easily attracts the stock investors.

While these old shitbags chasing for 5% annual returns, crypto people are driving lambos and flying jets. Remember, you only live once. Why waste your time on boring investments? It doesn't make a bit of sense. As you said there are many legit projects that return %5 daily profits. As long as you don't invest in proven scams, you should be safe financially.

Couldn't agree more with you, mate. I'd would say crypto is better than stocks because you get higher returns in the long run. Of course, we cannot deny the fact that the risk of loss is higher with crypto than with stocks. That's because of the wild fluctuations in each crypto asset's price on the market. You could either become rich or poor in an instant, depending on what you do with your crypto investment.

Despite crypto's widespread success, stocks are still the #1 choice for serious investors and traders alike. That's probably because stocks are widely regulated, whereas crypto is not. It's no wonder why stocks are much more stable than crypto. For each person's preferences or needs, will be the type of asset to choose either as a short-term or long-term investment. It seems to me that both crypto and stocks will be here to stay for a very long time. Just my thoughts ;D

I understand that younger people prefer Cryptos to Stocks, but why not invest in both? Buying both stocks and cryptos only makes our portfolio stronger in bad times. Just look at bitcoins right now, the price dropped 40% over the last few weeks, while stocks aren't affected at all. In my opinion there are only benefits when mixing multiple asset classes together into one portfolio. And also with stocks we can buy only the blue chips with a high dividend yield, so we get money back each year which we could then take to put into crypto currencies.

These old shitbags generalize all of cryptos as gamble and not as new invention for investation. The common reason why they call crypto as gamble because there is no underlying aset. But when they invest in forex, they never called it as gamble too. Sometimes I doubt why they think like that, they are just jealous with the achievement of this new tech.

What you say is absolutely on point. Forex trading is as much as gamble as you can get in the market. You could argue just the way as you can argue for or against crypto: there is no underlying asset. Sure you can take the economy but how often do we hear from someone who got burnt trading forex? Just a wrong analysis? Or maybe more luck involved that anticipated? It is as you said and while the USD or CHF is no invention or any improvement to existing systems, BTC is.

Nope, that is not the case. Owning a bitcoin is more similar to owning some gold or any other commodity. Bitcoin itself does not produce cash flow and does not give you any controlling right on the network or the mining facilities. You do have a stake, but there is not a lot you can do with it other than selling it if you are not happy.

A complete investor is someone who can recognise and use different models that give profits, and that includes knowing about the crypto market, the stock market, real state and many other assets and specially about companies.

When investor don't like high-risk investment like crypto, they may be better suited to continue liking stocks. This is an option that basically never force anyone to enter and exit as this crypto has grown thank to the trust of its community. I think people keep comparing crypto and stocks and crypto with other investment asset. But for obvious reason, high-risk investment like bitcoin will also give you a good return.

Yup, thats so obvious. Forex is a zero sum game which means every profit that we got come from loss another traders. This is really a gamble for me although the forex trader said it isn't a gamble because there's CoT. Meanwhile, Crypto isn't similar like forex, there's a burn coin and the value can be up throughout the supply and the demand.

Wow, you've got some pretty skewed views about investing. Thinking that crypto can only go up is pure folly. Expecting crypto to always return like the few exceptions that break the mold is even worse.  These returns aren't typical, and crypto isn't really investing because the valuations are based on nothing but group think.  Because the values are arbitrary, you're just gambling.  Also, stocks average 10% annual compound returns, but there are always stocks that fly far higher.  Berkshire has returned more than 390,000% since 1976.  There are periods in 2020 where certain tech stocks have blown bitcoin out of the water over the same period, especially with bitcoin's current pullback.  Saying that stocks are for boomers is just admitting how much you don't know about the financial system or how it actually works, and it's attitudes like this that cause actual investors not to take the crypto world seriously.  They're not wrong to have the perception that crypto is mostly a bunch of unsophisticates who got lucky.

Yes there is not even 1% doubt in my mind. I will always go for crypto. As we have seen cryptos growth has absolutely no limit whereas in stocks they dont have that much potential as compared to that of crypto. My first preference will always be crypto

That's why I said that both have their own merits, it's not like bitcoin is the holy grail that everyone wants it to be, bitcoin has its flaws and any rational bitcoiner should see those. I like your tenacity to go down the uncertain path but sometimes reality isn't what we expected it to be.

You sound a lot like a no-coiner mate.

Crypto is the best thing that has ever happened to the investment world. Nobody has any time to do all those researches, examining ratios, debts and such crap. Just buy bitcoin and it only goes up. Why can't it go up only? BTC has been going only up since its inception.

Don't believe me? Just see the BTC/USD chart.

Berkshire lol. Bitcoin returned 9999999999% since 2008.

I will go with crypto, crypto is much superior than stocks in a few ways but there are a few that stocks are superior than crypto. I accept ,Crypto can make greater benefit at such a brief time when compared to a stock which takes over a decade to reach least development which isn't reasonable as compare to swelling. For stocks, they are more safety net provider compared to crypto which suggests that there's no plausibility of going domestic losing in stocks in case they otherwise you misplaced other hand crypto is managed easily and here you are own bank you dont wait for any agent who buy or sell tp you.

Crypto for more risk and more profit. Stock for less risk and slower profits. My choice is definitely in favor of crypto. Because there are so many people around me retiring with the right investment of $ 100. You can't do that with stocks.

Both crypto and stocks have always profits and also risks. Higher profits will require higher risks. In crypto itself, the volatility is very high. It is different with stocks. Additionally, crypto is free for everyone in the world. And stocks may sometimes only limited. that is why I personally still prefer to trade crypto although this is very risky. But I know a little bit about the way to take profits in crypto, at least with a very small amount and also profits.

with high volatility, it is easier to get multiple returns. but it also carries a greater risk than stocks and forex. but if we already know the techniques for trading crypto, of course it will be more profitable to trade here. but if we don't use a leverage system, of course the value of our assets in crypto will not run out, unless the coin is worthless.

Not a no-coiner, just someone who has investments across all assets classes (including crypto) and understands hype when he sees it.  Crypto is not the best thing that's ever happened to the investment world.  That's pure hype.  Just because you don't understand the stock market means it's a bad investment.  Lol, you provided the perfect example of why someone shouldn't take your arguments seriously when you cited 2008 (a time when nobody was invested in bitcoin) as the starting point of your comparison.  Why not just go full hack and cite the infinite return bitcoin has had since it the white paper, since it was technically started at 0?  OMG everyone in bitcoin has made infinite money!!!  The fact that you have to try so hard to validate your belief isn't a good look.

How is me citing Bitcoin of 2008 any different than you citing Berkshire of 1976? You say nobody knew bitcoin in 2008. How many people that live today knew Berkshire in 1976? Not many I suppose. Bitcoin is not a hype. It is a life changing asset that is built upon blockchain technology. While your inner no-coiner is leaking, Cathie Wood (Warren Buffett of the future) and ARKK (Berkshire of the future) are buying BTC with her both hands. Have fun staying poor.

for those who understand business opportunities, of course, will take advantage of the opportunity as well as possible. Understanding risk and reward becomes very important to choose both. on the one hand, by understanding the nature of the two, we will be careful in taking actions, and in the end everything is profit-oriented. not everyone is lucky in this business, and they become the fodder of smart people

I am currently profiting from crypto, and I will continue to love crypto and I think crypto is better than stocks. with crypto I will earn fast because I think the potential for crypto prices is always going up in the future. There is no third party crypto, so transaction fees are relatively low. Crypto would be very difficult to regulate like stocks. and if crypto is regulated, maybe more and more new rules will occur, and those rules will definitely burden crypto investors. so in my opinion, the stock will remain a stock with all the rules.

You are a very wise girl, secretgirl. I usually don't advise people to touch stocks. Stocks are in a big bubble which is about to burst anyway. It is always very wise to stick with what you know and you seem to know a lot about crypto and that means you should keep growing your crypto profits. There are too many scammers in the stocks market. Stay safe.

I'm gonna wait until the day that stocks are tokenized and that brings up the opportunity of doing the same as cryptocurrency in term of massive ROI then that time i'm gonna invest into stock.
With crypto we can lose 95% of our asset indeed but it can also go up 100x the initial investment so that's worth while though it's very rare to see an asset that drops 95% of its value so fast so maybe the odd is even bigger!.

i hope that comparing things doesn't mean we have to be fanatical about one and hate the other
because the reality is that when people who often post technical analysis of stocks suddenly discuss crypto, a lot of negative comments appear

Everyone has their own views on investing in today's technological era, and the goal is the same to make a profit, I myself am currently involved in investing in both, and every investment always has its own negative and positive side as well as the risks we take

I really like crypto, considering its fluctuating price, we can get more profit from stocks. Only people who are able to understand the risk of loss. If you are able to learn to analyze I'm sure you will be successful in the crypto world.

I mean for millionaires stocks surely a more attractive option, it has a slower phase though consistent market it can take a while if you have a small capital but if you are a big time investor you could consistently gain profit even the smallest movement in market gives you about a hundred to thousand. On the other hand crypto can be more profitable in short term and low capital investments, and that's what big investors are afraid of since you could gain big time or you lose more than you can handle.

Anyways I am sure with the right portfolio every investor can earn regardless of it being stocks or crypto, comfortability is what matters and if you're comfortable earning less but consistently stocks is for you but the problem is you can almost guarantee that you'll regret not investing in crypto as they pump like crazy and cryptos you like goes to moon. I've always seen some hype around crypto than stocks but both has advantages and disadvantages I would say.

As I have stated on here and with friends/family/random people...cryptocurrencies are NOT a replacement for the stock market.  They are completely different assets entirely.  Stocks are issued shares of actual businesses that offer a tangible good or service.  Cryptocurrency is a digital currency which is NOT backed by a business offering a tangible good or service.  I even created a writeup about this which I encourage those who are not familiar why crypto is not a stock replacement to read- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288768.msg55577767#msg55577767

I always love crypto and its definitely better than stocks .I did trade on stocks ,forex but i made huge loss there .At last i have found crypto and starting to get profit here .the rules and regulation could be a fact here but nothing with the crypto .However its an open platform and i investor are getting involved here more and more .So that i am always with crypto and hopefully it will set my future .

- Perceptions of your past failure are giving a personal meaning and aversion, it will not contribute and is sometimes rejected by the community because when we give opinions, fairness is the most important factor and of course, it is difficult to provide the most rational opinion on the matter of choice. Normally, we give feedback on a product, the manufacturer will make improvements, but in investment, our comments are not helpful, this environment is fixed by the rules, can't make money or fail just because we're wrong, can't blame the market

The thrill on crypto is higher and I feel we are more closely connected with it than many of the companies that around today even though they are very modern and innovative. In crypto there is something new everyday that you can study and make your decisions on. The speed of innovation is just different.

Couldn't agree more with you, mate. Everyone knows crypto yields greater returns than stocks themselves. Already, Bitcoin is making stocks look obsolete. It shouldn't be long before institutional investors join the game. What's limiting crypto from replacing stocks is limited mainstream adoption. Despite 12 years in the making, crypto and Blockchain tech are still not mature enough for mainstream use. There's the issue of scalability, price volatility, and lack of a proper regulatory framework. Until crypto solves this, I don't see it replacing stocks anytime soon.

What could happen is that the stock market switches to Blockchain technology for increased performance and reliability. This could enable interoperability between the world of crypto and stocks. But somehow, companies are skeptical of crypto/Blockchain tech. I wouldn't worry about this as long as crypto continues to be traded on the free market. Those who buy and "hodl" crypto early, will reap huge profits in the long term. It's what distinguishes the crypto market from the traditional stock market. Regardless of the negative criticism surrounding crypto/Blockchain tech, the revolution won't be going anywhere thanks to its focus on decentralization and censorship-resistance. Just my thoughts ;D

Good for you if you find this venue much profitable than stocks, there are many people who see the

same way, especially those who managed to make decent money from this investment platform, though

people have different views in terms of comparing this two places, it's an open opinon to everyone.

Scalability issue is being solved via side chains like liquid as I see it. It is not perfect but it seems to work.

As you said, in the future NSADAQ and other major markets will probably operate on Ethereum or something similar. However, I stilll would buy crypto instead of stocks because stocks look like dead weight. They are matured long ago. Crypto is still in its infancy which means the room for growth is far bigger.

The companies that are sceptical of crypto are changing their minds slowly. Look, even Tesla/Elon has backpedaled from their latest decision and decided to accept bitcoin for their products again.

When this gains momentum, the others will have no other choice but to follow.

True but if you want to balance your portfolio, for example part of it as bringing you profits through sheer growth and part of it as relatively stable income in the form of stocks of a well situated dividend paying company, the question is whether you can get around stocks altogether. Sure you can but it may not lead to the perfect asset allocation that gives you risk exposure and upside potential plus a stable income stream.

Nah. I am not really a fan of stocks. Crypto is honest. Stock market is a casino. I'd rather buy more crypto with my crypto gains and have even more potential gains. But that's just me. Stock are in a bubble anyway and crypto is hanging just fine. It is also fairly easy to avoid taxes with crypto. That's not the case when you invest in stocks and I am not really a fan of paying taxes.

yes, I agree with you, with crypto one can earn much more than with stocks. but I think everyone must have their own reasons, why they choose crypto or stocks. in my opinion, maybe they also understand about crypto but they are still comfortable with their choice. most people who choose stocks, they think that stocks have less risk than cryptocurrencies. they don't really think about big profits, but they prefer safety on the money they invest. It takes courage to invest in crypto, and I don't think the people in the stock have that much courage.

Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so comparing them is a bit hard. Stocks will be more suitable for those who are new to investment and prefer stable investment with lower risk, meanwhile crypto is more volatile and risky, thus promising a higher profit as well. It's all up to the person, what kind of investment they want to have. However, i guess stocks are safer, and crypto will be harder to be regulated globally, maybe government can ban or make it illegal, but they can't control or stop crypto as a whole. It's hard to do so.

Did you say more risk or you wanted to say more risk and small profit. I remember just last year when stock crash. The entire world was affected which many has never experienced in their life time in stock market.
I prefer crypto, one of my reasons remains it been decentralized without a central authority. I will choose a shit coin or low market cap project over stock any time any day, though I can foresee the previous crash of stock, I will heavily invest in metals and gold.

I think that comparing crypto vs stocks is like comparing apples vs oranges. They're completely different things. Stocks are much more stable than crypto in part because they're widely regulated by mainstream governments. In crypto, it's the wild west (even if centralized exchanges themselves are regulated). This explains why crypto is highly-volatile in price. You can end up being rich or poor in an instant with crypto.

What makes crypto entirely different from stocks is that crypto is not tied to a company or single entity. Crypto is decentralized, free from government and third-party interference. In case governments decide to crackdown centralized exchanges, people will still be able to access crypto directly by connecting to the Blockchain. P2P and decentralized exchanges will be the norm if this happens. You cannot do this with stocks since they're utterly centralized. Ultimately, investors will decide which type of asset to use to secure their capital depending on their needs. I'd go for crypto anytime since the chances of profiting from it are much higher than it's the case with stocks. More and more investors are joining the game so it should only be a matter of time before the stock market adopts Blockchain tech for its own benefit. Just my opinion :)

Although there are similarities between crypto and stock as you mentioned but I think one major difference is the ROI. You see in crypto ROI is huge compared to stock but on the other hand risk involved in stock investment is not high compared to crypto. Block chain technology is something to think about.

I will not say crypto is like stocks, but penny stocks. I have seen so many penny stocks rising too much and then falling hard and the same happens with crypto where lots of coins get vanished and cannot be seen anywhere once investors take out their profits. I was always reluctant with doing penny stocks, but don't know what dragged me into loving crypto.

I heard 7% as yearly gain is very good for stocks.  What about for crypto then? 

Risk factors involved in the two are very wide I'd go with cryptocurrencies anyday because that's what I understand, learnt and can trade. Crypto has the ability to return profit on investment with 100% within a short period of time unlike Stocks that require large some of capital and time to yield such results.

they can be the same in a sense that you can invest but crypto has another function  .
are penny stock currencies ?  they are still stock but they are more closer to crypto because of volatility and both are currencies .
if you love crypto , you might also like penny stocks  . think of it as diversifying

They are likely related. Same functionality but different technology. I believe crypto is quite superior in terms of technology and functionality. Crypto has this advantage in terms of usability i.e. Staking, lending and other stuffs like that, meanwhile in stocks they have this dividends. In terms of profit, crypto's volatility is enormous compare to stocks. It could go up to 1000x in days and price could go to minimal in just a matter of days.

Well, I like crypto more than stocks as well, but let's be honest and admit that crypto can be a casino as well. It depends a bit on what you buy, but even if you buy Bitcoin or Ethereum, it is a lot about timing unless you put the coins into your cold wallet and are in it for the very long game.

If you buy other stuff it can very well be casinos-like, too.

Can you elaborate on the tax aspect you mentioned? You can also have decent strategies with stocks.

Crypto will remain my wild option anytime everyday 7 days a week and 12 month a year.  ;D ;D
Nothing will replace crypto except for gambling site and fraud that promise stupid return and empty promises.
Stock on the other hand is not an option, the return aren't something to write home about except when you engage in marginsl trading which gains and profit may not be worthwhile like trade on spot with crypto.
Stock shares are also been manipulated by some groups sometimes but since they are highly regulated, such individuals get prosecuted for such actions.

It's different, obviously something that has a high profit also has a high risk. If on the stock market, if a product experiences a spike of more than 100% in an instant, it will definitely be monitored by the government and will be frozen, in contrast to decentralized cryptocurrencies that are so free and no one is watching, there will be any price spikes even 500%, it's normal.

It is not rocket science mate.

If you can find a way to get your crypto off-grid (not from an exchange), nobody will know that you have any crypto. If nobody knows, there will be no taxes ;) Same with gold.

This is impossible with stocks. (there are other ways for stocks but too cumbersome)

Stock is also a good option if you're just wanting to be with those traditional investors that sits with you on the annual meeting of those companies you invest in.

You need higher capital for you to see that volatility works for you on the stock but in crypto, the volatility is its main course whether you'll hold a lot or keep on accumulating.

You heard it right and even on forex trading gains where 5-10% gain would already be considered as a good stuff but basing off with the volatility then its quite understandable because trying to compared off with the intensity of price movement then its no brainer on how crypto is really an interesting thing.

One of the reasons on why i had jumped into this market due to volatility on where you can earn more than you would in stocks and forex
compare if you do stick your ass to crypto.

Even though risk is really higher but would really be worth for you to engage on but well there are still traders or investors whom do love on sticking with
traditional things.

Somehow I was offered to start investing in stocks, but after I learned the whole process, it seemed to me more complicated than investing in cryptocurrencies. I believe that this is one of the important factors that influences the choice between investing in stocks or cryptocurrencies, in favor of cryptocurrencies. As for institutional investors, they are more likely to also choose investments in cryptocurrencies, since there will be all the clear advantages for better earnings. However, it should be noted that now there is a struggle between digital specialists and bankers, the outcome of which is still difficult to predict.

Looking at OP,

I'd say Cryptocurrencies are volatile because not every mainstream financial institution such as banks supports its transaction with fiat, @least most of them.

It's natural for people to avoid doing transactions to such crypto when the banks are blocking their accounts for doing so, which is happening in most of the countries right now,
And it's natural for people to ask why so many are nations doing the same thing?

Another thing, Cryptos are much more volatile compared to stocks, Excluding penny stocks.

These two have always been discussed and it will continue like that also. To me, I can't say that one of them is the best. Because both of them have pros and cons. Cryptos are volatile for example and not everyone would be willing to invest into them.

Freedom to choose due to unregulated market unlike stocks. That makes stocks more agreeable eye catchy to old investors. Yes I agree that crypto is riskier but the more risk you have, the more gain it'll probably have.

I personally see it this way. There are different national stock markets to invest and all of them differ by the risks associated with the economic stability of the countries where they are held. The most stable and secure stock market is American one. FIrst of all, it is strictly regulated by the government and the overall performance of American economy is solid. So, you can invest in the US stock market in order to be more or less safe from scam and immidiate default of the whole economy. Along with American market, there are some others which are less secure, for example Russian stock market. Russia is a developing country which has already suffered from default that it is why its Fitch rating is BBB. What does it mean? It means that investing in any companies from Russia is much riskier than investing in American ones. But, the more risks you have, the more potential benefit you get. If we look at the average divident yield of Russian companies and compare it to American ones, we will be surpeised by the fact that the average divident yield in Russia is about 8-10% while in the USA it is only about 2-3%. Which leads us to the conclusion that it is more perky to invest in not quite stable but benefitial Russian economy.
The same thing with cryptocurrency. There are lots of risks of being scammed and high volatility of the market, but if you know what you do, you will perform much better than you would in stock market. On the contrary, if you don't want to learn, you'll fail in crypto market and in stock market. Higher risks presuppose higher yields.

Well for one, Bitcoin was released in 2008 and nobody knew what it was.  Berkshire has been a public company since 1839, and Buffet had been getting involved around 1964, so yeah, by 1976 a lot more people would have had the ability to know what it was than bitcoin in 2008.  And lol, your inability to recognize hype while hyping is funny. "Bitcoin is life changing asset..."  That's the epitome of hype.  You maximalists get your panties in a bunch any time someone doesn't parrot the same bullshit back to you. You're so fragile that people having different views is a mortal threat to your own belief system, that's why you react so negatively when you come across it and say something stupid like  "MuSt Be a nO cOiNeR!"  This is obviously going to be hard for you to comprehend, but people can own bitcoin and also not be maximalists who live in a fantasy world where bitcoin is the greatest thing that ever happened and will solve all the problems in the world.

In my opinion, I think both can do better, it just depends on the time. If crypto are getting flourished at the moment, for sure you will side with it but if stocks are getting higher prices and in demand, it is expected that you would say it is better than crypto. Stocks are deemed legal unlike crypto but sooner or later, we might see it being freely regulatef all over the world too. The real question is not whether what's best between the two, the real question is how well do you manage your crypto investments or stocks. It would rely on your strategies and will depend on how wise you are with it.

I don't think demand can determine which one suits you. I mean some people are naturally good at sharp actions and will always benefit from the ever-fluctuating crypto market while some people are not so sharp but they have the ability to stock with one thing and proceed slowly which tends to suit the stocks market.

If you think you can play around with the fluctuations then go for crypto trading, if you feel like the fluctuations are playing with you and your trades are closing out in a negative balance, don't do it.

I have tried both stocks and crypto but my experience with stock is not good because in stock we have less volatility as compared to crypto. I have entered in crypto market since last 4 years but In stocks I have entered in last 6 months I will say crypto is much more profitable.

If I have a lot of capital, I will definitely invest both in crypto and stocks. Stocks are much more stable than crypto but the possibility of getting more profit is in crypto. Both of them have strengths and weaknesses. And also crypto is riskier than investing in stocks because of its volatility but still many people invest in crypto because of high return so it is better to have both.

Stocks are as stable as gold. But the risk of stocks is also relatively large. Maybe you become rich in an instant. It is also possible to change from the rich to the poor.
The same is true when comparing stocks and cryptocurrencies. All investments are risky. But I personally think that stock investment is simpler than cryptocurrency.
I studied stocks before I became familiar with cryptocurrencies. If the funds are available. You can invest in both.

A trader makes an agreement with his trading for the exchange of cash difference in price from the opening and closing price at which the contract ends but crypto is more profitable than stocks lack of knowledge about the stock market will bring it down at once it is very difficult to reduce the risk. There are risks in crypto the amount of currencies for investment can be reduced, but it is possible to reduce the risk by investing in other sites by comparison I prefer crypto to stock.

Stocks are only suitable for those who already have stable and wealthy finances, they don't care about profits so they take safe steps, while cryptocurrencies are high-risk investments that can make new rich people in a year or less.

Using bitcoin or any crypto for similar work of stock wouldn't work for a company because people controlling that firm would have to answer the taxes and illegal activities (if any of the company) to the government but with crypto, it's very hard to trace the payments which make it hard for a censored place.

It is not that bitcoin will do good in the place of stock but it's the control that it will challenge and people who have control in that place will do their best to maintain it.

The majority of stocks now are down due to covid. Crypto becomes bullish because people prefer to use digital currency over notes to prevent the possible passing of the coronavirus.

it's really just a matter of returns between stocks and crypto, whether people are rich or not. indeed, if you look at crypto, it promises greater profits, but stocks have less risk than crypto. therefore we ourselves judge whether we dare to take risks in crypto. and of course because crypto has not yet been legalized, many of the shareholders are reluctant to invest in crypto

I will go with crypto as it involves high risk and high rewards if any one comes here without any knowledge he may fail in making any profit if you come after doing your research well there us a huge scope for potential earnings in crypto

They are pretty similar as an investment but I think the main difference is like you said, with stocks, we can have a share or proportion of the company, meanwhile if it's crypto, we don't have such thing. We just have the coin, but it's not tangible so we can't really see or feel it. Other than that, crypto is more regulated, not too much out of control, and has less risk too. Meanwhile crypto has higher risk, but of course bigger profits in return as well. None of them is really better than each other, it's all depend on the person, whether they like crypto more or stocks more. All will have different opinion. Although i myself prefer crypto for a long term investment, especially bitcoin, meanwhile stocks is more suitable for trading for me.

They both involved high risk and high reward, crypto's is just much better when it comes to rewards with bitcoin as a proof for rewards. I think they have their own merits that we should consider, stocks if chosen correctly is able to give you a really good money especially passive income with some oof them paying dividends.

Yes, in fact when the covid-19 just started, which was at the end of 2019 where only in China some information had been leaked, everything was on the right track, then by the beginning of 2020 when in China they could no longer hide the problem, it all started to get tense and once the virus spread both the Stock Market and the BTC market started to fall.

The losses were very large because the Stock Market many investors sold cheap while the Chinese or the Chinese government was buying, once in China they declared that they had already overcome the Covid-19 and the economy in Europe and the USA was falling, this helped a lot because they bought cheap, but the BTC was beginning to recover, in fact the BTC recovered much faster than the Stock Market, this guarantees that the BTC in crisis tends to function for many people as a great refuge of value.

You only mention the bad side of stock, you didn't mention the good side of it. The lesser the volatility of a market, the less damage you experience when price tend to fall, this is why stock is always confined and safe for beginners.
Crypto is very volatile and one has to be very vigilant. There was a time during covid-19 period when market was so volatile, the market was so scared that orders don't get filled up when people try to closed there positions and in that case, it will be suicidal when you try market trade or sell at current market price because you will definitely be rekt with such move. Volatility plays both side.
