Why is bitcoin better than stocks, real-estate?

[alisafidel58]

I think its better because bitcoin price is unstable and tends go upwards while in stocks and real state price are based on fiat and some government has a huge tax on real state properties which is not good for small investor.

I don't think stating simply that the trend goes upwards is a good, convincing argument. Just as much as we have been seeing up trends, we cannot get caught up in them right now. The volatility of bitcoin is definitely a problem that not a lot of people want to face. People want to keep their investments as safe as possible, and if they're looking to do that, then bitcoin is simply not the right option. Bitcoin requires a risk on the investor's side.

It isn't. The buying and selling of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not called "investing" but "trading" in here you take advantage of the price movement to take profit. Investing on the other hand relies on the real value of something that will increase overtime, it relies heavily on fundamental analysis in order to know if it is good for long term profits. Bitcoin cannot be an investment as you really don't know what the real value of it is as the prices is determined buy the buying and selling pressures created by the traders.

Properties are better of as an investment as it tends to appreciate in value and can also be used for living purposes too. Bitcoin is better in terms of a currency as with the volatility rates it's better to trade with it rather than save it for long term uses.

If we invest in stock markets,then we would have to wait for even years to get huge returns.
For real estate,huge amount of investment is needed to even buy assets.
Also,we could not escape from the government taxes if we do such investments.
But bitcoin investment is totally different from them.
Even small amount of money could be invested in bitcoin.
Also,in most of the countries,we could escape from paying taxes for our bitcoin earnings.
So,people find it as an ultimate choice to invest in bitcoins.

Whether it's real estate or some form of stocks, it cannot give us such an increased growth happening with bitcoin. Also keeping track of bitcoin is simple compared to the stocks, based on which profiting too is highly possible. Finally one can invest what is affordable which is not possible with stocks and real estates.

In the traditional investment systems  there are areas like stock exchange, real estates, commodity market, forex market. Then there are hedge funds, mutual funds, equity, debentures. Next in line are precious metals like Gold, silver, diamond. Years after year and decades after decades when mainstream economics was convincing people that how one of above is better than other as it is giving returns in the range of 8% to 9% at max 10-13% a new revolution named bitcoin is rising and spreading across the world. Bitcoin has defied all conventional knowledge about return on interest. Surviving each negative publicity and doubts, incidents like mt. gox and still growing better than ever.

What do you think why bitcoin is the best investment than stocks, real-estate, gold or any other conventional investment?

I think its not yet time to compare bitcoin from those things, bitcoin just started few years ago and still has many feature to develop and advance. Traditional invest has been trusted for many years and would continu to be trusted by many. But in the other hand, bitcoin has big potential to become better way of investment. Bitcoin is no denying making a big impact in the market, you can never gain profit the same bitcoin is offering compared to other conventional investment. Bitcoin value is ever changing that even in short period of time your wealth might double its price.

But then again, bitcoin is not yet fully develop. The best thing to do for now is to invest both bitcoin and conventional wat. Its better if they can go along side with each other

[deloreswest]

its a new kind of stocks for me but at the same time its a forex. its a combine of stocks which is could be considered as forex (money). its better cause the technology of blockchain make it more transparant and more likely opened to public.

The volatility is a challenge and would always be a challenge as long as bitcoin stays alive. Sure, we may have some normal usage later on and then we may get some balance but that still does not mean we won't keep seeing the little level of volatility here and there. However, every investment comes with a risk. I have seen situations where stocks have gone wrong and even real estates with some local or national laws.
It is one of those things we need to realize do happen in investments. Bitcoin though a bit risky at the moment, but does not seem as risky as we had it years back since real life usage is stepping in globally now, but we still have to expect the worst in as much as we are optimistic just like in any investment.

I do agree that sometimes when the investment is done the returns providing by the real estate or stocks will not be matching to that of the btc return. But at the same time country do need to support btc else for those citizens if country does not support it, still stock and real estate is the best option available for them.

It is probaly how the bitcoin works on the vlaues that may take up to vast mysteries of its limits and the rate is incredibly high and fast pace that no other currency could keep up. But some stock takes forever to grow but has a potential to grow a nearly millions of dollars if you have the right money for it but the risk is high and bitcoin is not.

There are no mysteries in bitcoins. You buy, you hold and hope that the price would increase in the future. And so bitcoin price increase many folds if you have investment this year alone, so its gonna be better than stocks who I think remain stagnant for their year and bitcoin may have something to do with it because for me stock investors are getting into the picture right now. Because bitcoin is really a good investment but unlike stocks bitcoin price continues to grow overtime.

Bitcoin is a very profitable asset,but we can`t compare it with stocks and real estate.
Sooner or later the tremendous btc growth will slow down or even stop and we have to be ready.
This might happen after a few years or maybe next year.
Some assets provide less risk and less profit and other more profit and more risk.Bitcoin doesn`t fit anywhere and i can`t consider btc  a risky asset.This will change in the future.

This is just a plain fact. Over time we will see a form of stability, however, how soon that would be is what is not known. It is normal to always see some booms once in a while which is totally based on adoption and then it stops and we start seeing the normal market volatility of few percentages based on some few factors and all which is normal. Bitcoin has grown pass being a risky asset, not that most countries are finding ways to regulate its usage and over time, it would just be used normally and then held probably as an asset for stable and little growth.

I think BTC is in early stages and attracting a lot of people so it´s in a very exponential growth stage. We saw in the DOT.com bubble that anyone would be a stock investor but mainly in the US and Europe. what we are seeing in BTC is that anyone in the world can invest and you are not expected to invest 1000´s like in stocks. So every single citizen in the world can start with even a few sats make this a truly global market with a lot of growth potencial.

Bitcoin popularity has gone far beyond any other business and those who were investing into stocks before are now taking out their money from stocks and are investing into the bitcoin because they all know that this coin can give them huge profit as compare to these two options and I personally shifted from real estate and I am making more in a week than I was making in month and btc is best profit giver.

Does the fact that bitcoin work as a universal currency effect the overall value?

The fact that bitcoin can work as a universal currency like USD somehow affects the overall value. Some people buy it for the purpose of buying an item online, and somehow the most convenient way to pay online when a store accepts bitcoin is btc itself. Although people tend to use bitcoin nowadays for speculative purposes, because of the said reason above the fact that it works as a universal currency helps to boost it's current value to a great extent.

Because bitcoin market cap goes higher,higher than anything else.This shows how our economy evolving even in digital world.Bitcoin has already beaten golds marketcap this is the reason it is better than stocks.

As Bitcoin has become the universal currency and most of the use nowadays depends upon speculation method therefore its value has highly increased in the past few years reaching up-to more than $7,000 and is being expected to increase up to $8,000 at the end of this year by economic experts.

Therefore due to increasing demand and high market capitalization it is not wrong to say that Bitcoin is a far better option than a real estate or stock market.

We cannot use instability to judge. Stocks too can be unstable, it is just the high level of volatility that differs but it does not mean you cannot lose in stocks. However, bitcoin is getting to a point that we may just end up never losing at all since at some point, we will just have to make that profit as the value increases.

Real estate though is a very nice one and asides the tax which you have mentioned, I don't see any problem with the investment. Usually though, real estate is not really an investment for small guys as it requires a lot of capital, but a time would definitely come like it is already happening in some places that bitcoin would end up being taxed.

Bitcoin has become quite important over the year, Bitcoin is not controlled by single entity for the most part investing in the stock market is seen as the long game to financial wealth but Bitcoin o the other hand is providing quick returns due to quick growth
Real estate is secure investment but not growther immediately but Bitcoin is fastest growthing digital currency

It is very simple bitcoin is giving more returns than stocks or real estate.For instance two years before the value of one bitcoin is $300.If someone invest $300 at that then he will get high returns as $6400 the profit percentage is 2000%.At the same time someone invested in gold or stocks or something else of amount $300,now the price of that maybe $500 or even less,the profit percentage is less than 70% so the meaning of best investment is have to give us good returns.The bitcoin gives that than others so it is best investment...

[Mr.Atonio]

Because bitcoin can actually grow of anything bitcoin is different from other stocks which  one would you trust more the one that has reached 7.5k or the one who are still starting and you do not know anyhting about?

[Kronos21]

Bitcoin now do for its yield is higher than any stock and real estate. But in the long run your investment in real estate have a high level of protection against collapse. Property prices are now at the bottom. It is always in demand asset. It is less risky and therefore less income. But this income is guaranteed.
