Bitcoin Beats the Dow, Outperforming Every Single Stock, in 2019

[Twinkledoe]

It is too early to say that bitcoin outperformed the stock and that word did not accurately describe the fluctuations that occurred in bitcoin in the first quarter of this year. The stock has a long history while Bitcoin was born 10 years ago, it is still a long way for Bitcoin to outperform the stock market.

I do agree with this point of view. Though I am a bitcoin lover, but such remark is too young for bitcoin's performance. We may be seeing an artificial movement here. Too early to conclude things. I guess.

[Mometaskers]

Nah, people just get too optimistic at the first sign of a possible bull run. If the stockmarket had the same volatility as bitcoin you can just imagine how much trouble we'll be in.

One of the things that must be done is always optimistic about the condition and development of bitcoin, although it is too early to compare this can happen. Bitcoin will be able to outperform the stock market, and I think shareholders will switch to bitcoin and will play well.

I also have the same point of view, with high volatility, allowing the stock to soar or vice versa. so that it is very different from the stock market which has relatively small fluctuations, because of the stability and the occurrence of market manipulation in it

Older generation will never understand the capabilities of bitcoin as an investment,they only keep doing what they have been taught for years so they are going to refuse bitcoin until it reaches very huge level in the world economic structure.Don't worry about the stock investors they will come into crypto market slowly when they understand how much they can make compared to stocks,keep yourself investing before the prices gets too high.

Optimistic will needed in trading but too optimistic will not good. If the market is down, we are an optimist that the market will get up in the future, but we need to realize that sometimes we cannot see something we want will happen shortly. So it is better if we can act base on the situations that happen in the market so we can adapt in all of these situations.

Are we entirely sure it is "every single stock", don't get me wrong I do not have any data at my hand to dispute that but it is a marvel that bitcoin went up higher than every single stock on the market. The market has been bad and on the recover at Dow as well (just like crypto) so there must have been some stocks that increased a lot as well.

Do not forget the "penny stock" type of things that went up like 100% in the recent year to date increases as well, you may think only the good stocks have not been that much but smaller stocks like pharma companies that made literally 1000%+ increases in the past 3 months as well. Bitcoin is one of the best investments of 2019 for sure but I don't think it is by far the best one so far, there are several smaller companies that went up much more.

Many countries economy is suffering from financial crisis, even the US domestic exchange market is suffering economic downtown and bitcoin is still performing greatly in terms of it price, I think it time for the world leaders to look into adopting the blockchain technology because is the best economic system free from interference.

[Adriano2010]

Indeed bitcoin is a good coin, and also now bitcoin is over 5400$ and continue grow and this will happen if more people will not sell and keep buying and maybe a bull run will come sonner than expected.

[rizkyhiw]

I disagree with that because the market character is both very different, it also has the advantage if it has become a trend, both have their own advantages, so it's not surprising that it's good for everyone, I won't compare it for now and this is the time Bitcoin big and small surges and if the conditions are not good then the stock can be the best, so they must be aware of the trend and not be too confident when the conditions are not good then it becomes a fatal mistake.

The companies you are referring to have very likely done everything to front run the release of good sales and profits, so it's not very easy to actually tap into these ridiculously high return stocks. It's a gamble.

People always look at the positive side of the market, while there are always two sides to it. No one talks about the penny stocks that tanked +90% in quite a short period of time.

Bitcoin has long term potential, while penny stocks are penny stocks for a reason. They are way riskier than even an altcoin as Dogecoin for example. Almost every altcoin will benefit from Bitcoin increasing in value.

Penny stocks are always a gamble. They're small-cap companies that likely don't have a chance of living for long and are hoping to ride a hype train in order to generate capital gains for the company. It's like 75% of ICOs, when they were a thing. Those were almost always hard sucks of money that would never return anything of value for most investors if they didn't buy in prior to the coin being released.

As for normal stocks, those increase slowly because they have much more stable markets with companies that are far from being as volatile as Bitcoin and cryptos in general. Bitcoin has the joy of being able to move at the whim of a whale, actual companies need to justify their valuations.

But stockmarket will never be like crypto, and we are too optimistic because of the losses that we had during the bottom. The price may still the same but if you look at the transactions of bitcoin, it is still bullish because it continue to increase. Bitcoin started to pump, but its not right to say we’ve already out perfomed the stock market maybe in the future but stock market will stay as usual since it composed of top companies.

those who leave are people who are frustrated and afraid to face a volatile market. but with confidence in the future of Bitcoin and with the support of the big company, just waiting for BTC's heyday
