Very very interesting too see so many people choose bitcoin over stocks.
For me, i would choose stocks, real companies owned by real people over a shady digital currency which gained its reputation mostly from drug dealers, hackers and thieves.
Also very big LoL goes to the people who say stock market is gambling. If the stock market is gambling then what is bitcoin? x1000 gambling.
I would actually buy stocks with bitcoins if there are cheap and safe brokers.
Even I would like bitcoin to reach like paypal around the world and this should become most popular payment gateway and international money transfer medium.
I am most of the people will go with bitcoin mode of payment in their business to increase their profit level by reducing transaction charges.
That is nice only when you are for sure that you can make a lot of money with it and that is sometimes really hard to know sometimes because not everyone have the patience for it.
And that have to change also because there are still a lot of people that is waiting with their Bitcoin for a higher value.
Many here don't even begin to comprehend how the real world knows and regurgitate stupid nonsense. Bitcoin could be compared to Silver or Gold, very volatile and speculative investments options. Company stocks are a whole different beast, if you trust a company and you get in at a decent price and hold long term, there's a strong change your money is safe and you will earn a good % annually if you don't make stupid moves.
Just look at companies like Visa, Apple, Google, Facebook, etc, yes they do have ups & downs but take 3 or 5 years graph lines and you see that they are always growing, that's why they are leaders.
Of course many companies end up in flames too based on different problems, Yahoo, Blackberry, Nokia, companies that fail to adapt and grow.
