Which one to buy? Stocks Houses Gold or Bitcoin or Bonds?

[bitbunnny]

You have made the three proposals and,I would say go for all of them. I'd say all this investments are good and the best option is always to split your available funds in order to avoid as much risk as you can. Never keep all your eggs in just one basket. You just have to decide on ratio of investment and at the moment the largest sum I would put in Bitcoins.

Which one to buy??

Breakdown of performance for that period (in USD terms):
Bitcoin/USD: +80%
S&P 500 Stocks: +30%
Real Estate (REITs): +26%
Gold: +3%
Bonds: +1%


(Note: Bitcoin performance suppressed due to post insane Chinese-run in late-2013)

If I were you I would buy bitcoin since it's price growth is faster than gold and others but if you want to lessen the risk and if you don't trust bitcoin yet, I think it would be good if you would diversify your investments to all of what you mentioned. If you would buy bitcoin, I recommend that you wait a little for a price dump so that you can buy cheaper bitcoins unlike now that bitcoin is table to 1083$ that might go down a little before going up.

I too would recommend to buy bitcoins instead of other assets.I would advice not to wait for any dumps as dumps would be very rare here after and waiting for dumps would lead to buy bitcoins at much higher price.Only bullish trend would continue here after.

Although I am not rich, I try to diversify whatever I have into several asset classes, with different levels of risks involved. Bitcoin is the latest form of investment that I have in addition to what I have already: stocks, mutual funds, and a small time deposit. Bitcoin has given me the highest return but its volatility is something that I can't risk putting my money all into it.

A couple of BTC (20-100) is a good investment. But never put all eggs in one basket (BTC).
Diversity is key.

I traded some BTC against physical gold to lock-in some profits and rebalance my portfolio after the recent price rise.

Don't diversify too much. Focus on Bitcoin, there will be another global economic crisis, probably withing next 5 years.
Global economy hasn't been fixed at all, managers and banks never learned their lesson after 2008 crisis.
Soon bonds, stocks and fiat money could be totally worthless - only Bitcoin, a system which is not a part of official market will survive.

Bitcoin & property, you can't go wrong with bricks & mortar. Look how much bitcoin has risen in the last 18 months or so. We were at $200 dollars not all that long ago. Get on the train before it's too late.

Hugh? ---> The United States housing bubble was a real estate bubble affecting over half of the U.S. states. Housing prices peaked

in early 2006, started to decline in 2006 and 2007, and reached new lows in 2012. A lot of people lost a lot of money and the banks

made a killing. Bitcoin is not a sure thing either.... but I think for the next 1 or 2 years we might still see some good profits. 

That is the issue with bubble you want to buy when the bubble is beginning to form or in the middle not at the top when the bubble is about to burst, every time I see an investment being recommended on TV then I know is time to look for something else, so when the shoes about investments begin to talk about bitcoin being a sure thing then that is the time to leave for other investments.

Right time to buy is a since! Where is the start of the bubble, where is the peak its not easy to see, at least not for us ordinary people. I would go with bitcoin here, bitcoin have much more potential then all other suggestions. Nothing is a sure thing, but without risk we can not make big profit. Graphic shows reality, bitcoin price is very unstable, that is a big risk for investors, but bitcoin bringing the highest profit in the same time. With gold you have your money locked, little profit with much less risk.

I never said it was easy but there are some ways if you use technical analysis different metrics may indicate that the price should be higher and so you buy with the expectation the price goes higher in the next day and weeks, if you are lucky you could catch the beginning stages of a bubble and make a lot of money that way.

What made you think bonds, stocks and fiat money will be totally worthless?  Honestly there is more possibility that bitcoin will be the first one to be worthless once it does not solve its scalability issue.  But of course being bitcoin enthusiast, i will choose Bitcoin because of its uptrend price.  Hoping scalability issue fixed and political drama between two camps fades.

[BitcoinPC]

For me, Bitcoin is the best, whatever people say about bitcoin. Because i have been done stocks, Forex trading and also gold. But i realize bitcoin is a best way. Because you could start investment with bitcoin in a less capital and could make money from it in a high level. And the best thing about bitcoin, it is more easy to earn than others investments.

That is an option if you have a big capital and if you do then you are already doing well, for most of use we cannot choose all the options since we don’t have the capital and even if it is more risky to keep all our money in a single investment the rewards are very tempting.

Well everyone stepping into a business is for to earn not to lose all what you have but, you also cannot deny the factor of risk with every investment that you make. Risk is always there with the investment, no investment in the world is 100% safe. Keeping this rule in mind you need to study things if you are just a dump person and cannot determine or forecast the future of any business after studying it. You just need to do a SWOT analysis and you fill find the answer by yourself.

We are all bitcoin enthusiasts indeed. No one came here or just began to invest just for fun, we all expect some plus, and when it's bigger then it's better for us. All investment is risky and all this gold-bitcoin-bonds are risky. I would share my capital to invest in each by parts, cause of you never know which one will sky rocket and which one will bring you just costs.

Yes, the charming characteristics of the bitcoin is that you don’t need a huge capital to invest. You can start with a few hundred dollars while can enjoy the crunch of a high return and even the charm is enhanced when it adds additional earnings to your capital. For me like many others it is a most suitable investment, where the net worth of my capital increases time to time and I also make enough from it to drive my life well.

Unlike many people here, I love to go against the diversification of basic investment principle. Because I'm having much sites with bitcoin's future. I will choose only bitcoins to invest for next 20 years.

Well you can give first preference to the bitcoin as it's the one that provides an assured profiting based on the time difference from  buying​. One who can afford few number of bitcoin can easily make a good earning periodically based on the price increase just keeping the one we bought within the wallet which is not possible with other such methods.

For those who are risk bearers, who don’t hesitate to take risk the bitcoin is the best asset for them. Due to the fluctuating feature of the bitcoin some people may think of it to invest in it or something else but a risk taking and market understanding person will never let this opportunity go. Even these who have avoid to invest in their past in it are now crying for it.

Apparently none of those according to zerohedge:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-29/last-remaining-cheap-asset

The article does not mention bitcoin since it is an highly speculative asset but it says that every other asset out there already overpriced because of the FED's money printing policy. Every other asset but "grain".
It doesn't make sense to me to fill my home with grain bags though it might become handy in wwIII.

If all assets are overpriced, Bitcoin is too. Because of quantitative easing, money has flown into almost all assets.
The only reason why grain prices haven't taken off is that governments will not allow a basic need like food to become very expensive.

You forget one circumstance that it is the government that is cashing in on the sale of food products, including grain, and the people of the country that is the producer.

Yes I agree bitcoin is the most profitable investment at current. It also doesn’t need a huge amount to invest as capital and the opportunities of periodic earnings are no doubt makes it favorite among the investors. It is the big advantage of the bitcoin that even with a low budget you can start earning from your investment.

Prices are trading at $1570 right now. It means you got doubled if you have invested with bitcoins some 6 months back, will it possible with any other investments ?

[Schuyler]

If I have all the money to invest, I would definitely spread it across investment instruments that have different risk levels. I would even start a few businesses or go into franchising or  just be an angel investor. But bitcoin seems to be one of the highest yielding investments right now, especially if you were able to buy even by September last year when the price was idled at $600.

definitely bitcoins for the long term.

I don't trust houses because they are in a bubble state everywhere across the world right now, and there is really nobody actually living in these investment houses. All they are bought for is holding value or renting out, the buyer is rarely the actual people living there.

And gold? Bitcoin is like digital gold, it's gold v2.0 because it is more portable, more divisible. Bitcoin has better potential as well.

Bonds? Way too small of a return on your investment.
