A short comparison of the best ones of both markets:



One of the best-performing companies of last 10 years Amazon stocks share price - in January 2009 bit below $50, now $1760.

Bitcoin - in March 2010 - $0.003, now - $6840.

Right now? Crypto. Crypto is booming bro like literally booming so bad. Crypto tops off as the highest return in the past ten years against apple and amazon, which I really think is stupid in comparing btw since BTC literally spawned 10 years ago and where Apple and Amazon was founded in the 1900's, just looking at the price difference of the market then and now is enough to give reason why the comparison is unfair, but that's not my point.

Crypto has a huge investment of return as of 2019, which amounts to $2.3 Billion. The others only stand to not even 10% of what bitcoin achieved. That already says enough as to what is actually better right now to invest in. Not saying that stocks isn't a good way to profit, just that you could profit more in Crypto in the past, since it literally was unknown. Stocks on the other hand, require the company to actually boom out, with a never before seen type of product before it could achieve a boom in its price.

Right now? Crypto. Crypto is booming bro like literally booming so bad.

Spoken like someone who got in at a good price--and that's what it's all about, getting in at the right price.  I don't know if crypto is booming or not, because it seems like the market is going sideways right now.  But if you'd bought bitcoin in 2015 and kept it, any point in 2019 would look very good.  But if you're new and bought at $10k-20k, you're probably feeling a little sick right now.

Bitcoin - in March 2010 - $0.003, now - $6840.

Can't argue with that, but it's a little bit misleading.  All of the huge gains may already have been made since bitcoin was at or near zero.  Or maybe not--I don't have my crystal ball handy, and it doesn't work anyway. 

And I can't compare crypto to the stock market anyway.  They're two very different types of investments and the markets act very differently.  I like both for very different reasons, and I'd be hard pressed to pick which one I like more.  I do think the stock market is pretty overvalued right now, so it's probably due for a big correction.

Bitcoin is probably more volatile but also has the most potential for big gains. If you know what you are doing, go with Bitcoin.

What are other ways to get good profits besides crypto?

Basing on my experience we do have lots of different markets.

Forex
Stocks
Cryptocurrencies
Bonds
Derivatives

etc...

Talking about profitability? No question on here where crypto would have the edge.Come to think that higher volatility does produce more high chance of profits
but same goes into its risk of losing money.

If we do try to compare then it would be yes. You cant get average of 2-3% increase on a certain day or more specially on Forex/Stocks which can be possibly attained with Crypto.

Just dont only forget that you can lose up fast too in case if you've done something wrong with your trade.If you can handle out the risk then you can proceed on.

So stock is good to go with Long....

Both market can make you profit if you are good at it.  But I can imagine how difficult that would be if you trade on both market. Crypto market is addictive specially because you as a user here in bitcointalk can participate in the investigation and may even accuse the team who develops  the project in case you are frustrated with what the team is doing. Its best to enjoy the norms here in crypto.

You can't do that in Stock Market. You can't just publish something and get a dim light for few stock market investors to listen to you, they operate on close doors.

The question seems to be out of the context. People have different preferences.

Instead of asking which is the most profitable, I suggest fully studying what are they e.g characteristics, specifications, functions, nature, market, risk-involved, etc.

If you are serious about that study, you will soon answer that question. Yes, only you can determine which one suits you.

[AjithBtc]

It differs with users based on the learning about the market. Most users who have begun to follow cryptocurrencies finds it easier than stock market. I've got a friend who is engaged much into stock market, and here to certain extend it can be predicted precisely. This isn't possible with cryptocurrency trading. I suggested him to try with cryptocurrency, but the market isn't that perfect to predict. I find it easy to learn as predictions were based on random choice than calculative measures as stocks.

[Blitzboy]

This is unfair to compare. But look at the fact that many people invest in cryptocurrencies for the profit it brings. I'm not sure that the number of people investing in securities is less than the number of people investing in cryptocurrencies, but the number of people investing in cryptocurrencies has been booming recently. This shows that profit from cryptocurrencies is easier. It is as a trend, the trend is only formed in favorable conditions, i.e., cryptocurrencies are more profitable.

I do even have friends that came from forex trading and now they are trading up into crypto due to this valid reason
of volatility and yes its booming up which means theres potential and when it comes to volume, it might not be the same
on bigger markets when it comes to liquidity but having a heavy volume is an ideal place for you to trade on specially
prices are way too moving not compared to other places which you would need to wait up for some time before
making any profits.

The answer to your question isn't easy. In 2015-17 if you came in with a lot of money you could make bags of money on anything you touched as long as it wasn't a scam.
Any shitcoin would give you 300% a year and some 100% every month. Bitcoin could give you 500% a year easy. That's impossible in the stock market. But if you decide to join know it's hard to say if you'll be able to make 500% on Bitcoin again. 20k I by all means achievable and we will go there again but that's only 300% gain. It's possible to make 300% on the stock market as well.

Bitcoin is probably more volatile but also has the most potential for big gains. If you know what you are doing, go with Bitcoin.

The main problem with people in this space is that they don't know what they are doing. 

People often think that stocks are boring, but that's absolutely not the case. Tech stocks have gone through severe volatility as well throughout the last couple of years. In terms of market cap loss/gain the fluctuations for the largest stocks are worse than in crypto. Facebook for example dumped 20% within 24 trading hours. Prior to the dump it had a +$500 billion market cap. $100 billion evaporated just like that. Pooff.

Forex markets are probably more brutal than crypto with how the leverage you can apply to your trades goes well beyond what Bitmex offers. 400-500x leverage is what some brokers offer. If you want to gamble it can be done anywhere. Crypto is nothing special in that regard.

Depends on the stock of your choice and same goes for crypto. Also, the amount of capital matters if you're asking which is way more profitable. I don't have much stocks and I'm with crypto so I'm answering base on what I have and for me crypto is better.

What are other ways to get good profits besides crypto?

Capital gains? real estate? lending? other real world businesses and legitimate investments that you can see the rich people has.

News stories published by the media and underlying political agendas do more to influence the value of markets and crypto than natural market mechanics. The price of bitcoin has declined more from news stories than it has through any other source. Later we find many of these news stories like the ones about binance shanghai offices being "raided" and google achieving "quantum supremacy" were untrue. Which could indicate ulterior motives or insider trading.

To answer this question, a person must know american presidential elections are due up in 2020. If Donald Trump is re-elected he will implement policies which create jobs and incentivize economic growth. If a democrat wins the election, they will sharply raise taxes, spending and the deficit which will cripple US job markets and the economy. If a democrat is elected, the US stock market will crash as the stock markets of other nations have crashed after leftist candidates with high tax, high spending, plans were elected.

This same precedent applies to crypto to a degree. Underlying agendas and ulterior motives coupled with news published by the media do more to influence the value and price of bitcoin than natural market mechanics. This is one reason why AI trading bots and technical analysis tend to not be effective. They can't predict market movements in advance as those are typically precipitated by news stories published by the media which are impossible to predict, without some insider knowledge.

At the moment I believe china wields the biggest influence over bitcoin and crypto prices. They have the largest crypto mining industry which allows them to set prices depending on the value at which they dump crypto they have mined. To answer the question of how great an investment crypto will be over the long term, a person may naturally need to guess what china's long term plan is. Will they continue to dump at low prices or seek higher prices? BTC halving in 2020 could also play a major role as it is something that regulators and market manipulators can't necessarily undermine.

If you are looking for short term profits go for crypto trading but if you prefer long term investments go for stocks. Butactually crypto can be good for long term too.

What are other ways to get good profits besides crypto?

Aside from investing in digital assets, putting up a physical business is a good alternative.
