To be or not to be. What to invest in?

[Rooster101]

For starter, I prefer to invest first in cryptocurrency like bitcoin, although it is risky, it is more profitable in short term. I am also a cryptocurrency trader so I will naturally choose bitcoin because I already know how to minimize possible risks in crypto investment. Investing in gold is also profitable but you need to have a significant funds to invest in gold. The other two, bonds and real estate are for long term investment and I need to educate myself on that particular investments to understand it fully.

totally agree with the choices you mentioned and me too think similar. As real assets according to me are still real estate and gold, bitcoin comes next in my list. Anything apart from fiat is good to invest while fiat is only good for daily usage/expenses.

For starter, I prefer to invest first in cryptocurrency like bitcoin, although it is risky, it is more profitable in short term.

bitcoin is too risky for starters . why cant you just try stable investments first ? you can still earn a profit on them but in a slow manner atleast they are steady   . if you know the mechanics of investing and if you already gain experience thats the time that you can level up and try other investments assets  .

Investing in gold is also profitable but you need to have a significant funds to invest in gold.

you can buy small chunks of gold simillar to btc and other cryptos where you can also buy in smaller parts  but gold is a good alternative to cryptos since its more stable  .

[lienfaye]

Real estate and gold are good investment. Here in our country if you invest in real estate you are considered well-off as not everyone cant afford to invest in this kind of investment. Gold on the other hand is somehow affordable if you're just starting since it has different price list depending in your budget (im pertaining to jewelries).

But still I prefer crypto, its very risky but compared to my other investment I gained so much here especially last 2017. But not everyone can bear the roller coaster ride that you would feel everytime the market is not in good situation.

[Papaczed]

It is good time for investment as in a day itself it has jumped 600$+ and if had done  investment  yesterday also would have easily made money of 600$ per btc . So before it rises further buy now and keep investing in good altcoins or in btc .

For me investing in real estate is very profitable in my country but it will need a huge amount of money compare on investing in bitcoin, it's not required a very huge money but we can still earn a lot of profit if we can keep our bitcoin for long time.

[fiulpro]

Apart from that if you have some time in your hands and you are thinking of doing some actually work .
With an investment approximately 0.15 BTC you can regularly earn a good amount of money enough to take care of your daily needs if you can trade well in the dollar market too.
Even if the dollar is down then you can still trade keeping your currency at the top , if the dollar is apparently up then just go the opposite.
Trust me dollar / local currency trading does show some good gains , you need to just learn and get accustomed with the market first.

[Bunsomjelican]

It is better to invest in crypto or altcoins, because if you gain altcoins it will be easy for us to earn
bitcoin in the end,. Though, all crypto that we are going to buy in the market has always risk involved and
I know you that as one of the community traders here in this industry.

Right now, cryptocurrency is looking like the best investment option available. Investing in Bitcoin now is similar to investing in the Yahoo stock during the late 1990s, or doing so with the Microsoft stock during the early 90s. The other options are rapidly losing their sheen. Real estate is looking like an inflated bubble, with apartments and plots overpriced and out of range for the vast majority of the population.

Forecasts for bitcoin in 2018 are rather ambiguous. On one hand, some analysts predict gloomy future due to the current unstable situation.
  On the other hand, optimists predict bitcoin a rapid increase in quotations, which must exceed its maximum threshold next year in the history of the existence of cryptology.
  Although Bitcoin is still in a state of uncertainty. So many of you were wondering what to invest. Therefore, I had the idea to write a several alternatives for investing.
1. Bonds
A good alternative to deposits is bonds. The plus of this instrument is the absence of taxation. And from the same deposits, the tax on income of natural persons in the amount of 18%. But the percentage is different in different countries.
2.Gold
Investments in precious metals should be considered with a sight for 3-5 years.
Silver and gold are traditionally considered to be a long-term instrument to protect you against inflation. They are also interesting because, in 2018, the growth of the cost of precious metals can reach 10-20% in the world. And this gives the possibility of additional income. Therefore, you can invest up to 20% of savings, for example, invest monety / ingots or look at the so-called gold deposits.
3.Real estate
To invest in real estate is required neatly. You can choose an attractive option for a long time in the secondary market as well.True, it must be remembered that investment in real estate pays off for a long time - 10-20 years. And in the case of force majeure, housing will not be sold quickly .
4.Bitcoin: Interesting, but risky
In cryptology you need to invest carefully.The market is speculative, can sharply grow and fall. In 2017, bitcoin cost about 19,000 dollars, now - about 8 thousand dollars. Intraday fluctuations of the Crypto-currency may be 25%. You need to have iron nerves to withstand the jumps, because you can lose everything.At the same time, how much will Bitkoin cost at the end of 2018, it is unknown, because all bold forecasts have come true. But one should not think that cryptography is a costly investment.

Therefore, the choice is up to you as always.

Every investment requires analysis, preparation and certain degree of experience as a general rule.
If you apply those to traditional investments, they're safer since the model is treaded ground, but in some it can take  a lot of time for you to receive the desired ROI and, whether is private investment or stock trading, you need to have a large capital to participate.

The advantage of investing in cryptocurrencies is that a ROI can be achieved in a shorter time, depending on the stability of the currency of course. Although it fluctuates a lot, it's a fast-moving market in which you can make a profit, and you don't need high capital entry level, allowing you to invest what you can and when you can. Additionally, if you approach it as a long-time investment, on some cryptos it can be even safer that way. Every day the number of people using and trusting cryptos is increasing, you could translate that to a high probability of normalization and day to day adoption, but that doesn't mean that it'll remain as profitable or it will surmount on its own its inherent problems.

Having an asset that can effectively merge the best characteristics of traditional investment, such as being backed by real world projects and tangible productivity, with the benefits and the liquidity offered by blockchain technology would certainly be an ideal and surefire option.

[bitbunnny]

If you consider to invest in altcoins, don't. To my.opinion too much waisted time and efforts with too much uncertainty and not so good profit.
Invest in Bitcoin. Despite some issues it's still the best investment, especialy on long term.
Real estates and bonds could be very profitable but you have to know the market well and be able to adjust very quickly. Besides you need much larger starting capital compared to Bitcoin.
If I had to mention something else besides Bitcoin to invest and if you have a lot of funds, that would be work of art.

All you mentioned are worth for our investment, but what people want their money to be is a risk free investment. Here are cryptocurrencies which not only include Bitcoin but all the other altcoins which is risky yet has a chance to earn bigger than all traditional investments.

ill say gold and crypto currencies, something that will last on 10 years for sure

[Dusang1998]

I think Real estate and Gold are safer but Cryptocurrencies can bring a lot of profit if you have a exactly choice. For me, i only invest in cryptocurrencies 30% my saving money.

smart thingking, never invest all money in one direction,  thats the first rule.

5. Not just Bitcoin but every possible Cryptocurrency that you would encounter and do research on is a possible investment opportunity. The opportunity within this Industry is so big that we might even venture into this industry as our personal jobs. It may be tiring at times but the possible pay out we might gain is worth the wait. The other options that you gave are all great opportunities but you all need to learn about them and focusing on one industry is a much better decision for me since I know that I do not have all the time in the world.

I still choose Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to invest in. Because if you know it better and has enough knowledge, you can earn huge profit in a short period of time. Although it is also good and wise to invest in real state, maybe if I already earn a lot from crypto then I will consider investing in real state asset.

[sarmrakib]

The thread is old and now it has proved that btc and crypto always a great platform of investment. Though it is risky and the market is always volatile but still there has lots of chance to make our wallet healthy. So that that's why i always put my capital on crypto.

[Obito]

Any investment for me is risky depending on the kind of investment you were into, your choice would be matter of which you think will profit the most in a short period of time. But then again they will say there is no such thing because usually investment would take years to effect before you get your share of profit if it succeed. But like in case of bitcoin you will win some and you lose some. and so you choose which one is more convincing and most promising great potential.

The riskier the business then that means that it is more profitable if you were to pull it off, I have to say that in regards to what OP says, I would probably go for bitcoin obviously and real estate, we all know why bitcoin, that is because it is proven that it will grow overtime and and the profits are exponential. Real estate because it is relatively safe investment because land prices grow overtime.

[Lorence.xD]

totally agree with the choices you mentioned and me too think similar. As real assets according to me are still real estate and gold, bitcoin comes next in my list. Anything apart from fiat is good to invest while fiat is only good for daily usage/expenses.

Gold for me isn't a reliable as a means of investment because it doesn't have the same growth as bitcoin or real estate, bitcoin has proven time and time again that if you invest in it, you can get a lot of profit in the long-term. Real estate on the other hand is a good one because it doesn't go away, as long as humans exist, we are going to need land.

old threads like this are really interesting because it's like we are reading the future 'lol'...
lucky for those who invested in cryptocurrencies before 2021, currently thousands of crypto assets are already huge bulls. Certainly, in the following years, the old thinking of investing in real estate or gold more profitable will inevitably change when crypto more and more popular.

you are completely right, and at the moment I am starting to think about investing in cryptocurrencies such as Tron or BitTorrent, which can repeat the results of more popular assets, such as ETH. Today is the very moment when these coins can be bought in general very cheaply, and after a few years they will turn each of us into wealthy people.
