Crypto vs Stocks

[perfect999]

People have often compared crypto to stocks since owning a coin, represents your "share" of the decentralized blockchain network. Exchanges act as brokers in a similar fashion to traditional stocks. While stocks are fiercely regulated, crypto is the "wild west". Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, while stocks are much more stable. Despite crypto/Blockchain tech's popularity, stocks are still preferred by mainstream investors and traders alike.

Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks? Is crypto getting closer to becoming regulated just like stocks? What do you think will happen if institutional investors come into play? Will stocks transition themselves to the Blockchain? Or is it still too early to tell? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All of them are good, and they all works. It’s just up to you to decide what’s best for you and you follow that. Stocks are good, and I invest in it and also invest in cryptocurrency. Invest in bonds as well, you just have to make sure that you have your investment in different places to be generating income for you. My first investment that I made was with bitcoin, that’s what convinced me to start investment, at first I wasn’t the type that’s into investing my money, I just put them in savings and that’s it. But when I discovered bitcoin and invested in it, I decided to start trying out other investments as well.

I do not get why people have to go with stocks. The real reason why we are in this mess economically is the stock market and people are too blind to see it. Why? Well simply every company in the world that has a stock needs to keep profiting and keep profiting in order to keep the share holders happy right?

Well, if there is a finite amount of money in the world that means one day one company will own all the money in the world if they keep profiting constantly.

We know that won't happen so there is a money printing going on, which means companies are capable of making more profit since there is more money printing. We all know printing money doesn't solve any issues and the debt in every nation grows bigger and bigger, inflation gets worse and the people at the bottom are the ones who are paying for all this issue. So crypto is definitely the way to go for me.

Crypto definitely better, so many millenials has now switching over to crypto since it's just more profitable and the problem with stock market more specifically coming from third world countries the manipulation is rampant by the whales, the price could literally be controlled by the whales through the use of their massive capital meanwhile most of cryptocurrencies nowadays already have big market which make such thing hard to do.
There's this trend of leaving stock market for crypto around the world and if that's true meaning people already see crypto as a better option for investment.

It is certain that there are good projects in both the kirpro money market and stocks. however, this choice varies according to the way you invest. For example, we once saw the rise of health stocks due to covid. I guess it takes a shorter rise in stocks. I don't know the stocks well, but it's definitely not a place for someone with hopes of getting rich pretty soon.

Crypto and stocks have always been the favorite comparison of majority when it comes to the topic of investments. However, these two serves their own purposes and I believe they are intended for different reasons, only that they have similar functions such as in terms of investing, hence people pit them from one another.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency which may serve as an alternative to fiat money. It is decentralized, meaning there's no entity, organization, or institution that controls and regulates. It used in online transactions only that, it provides stricter security when it comes to identity. It is also a medium and platform to generate money such as when joining the paid campaigns and by investing. Meanwhile, stock market is centralized which stocks belong. It is regulated by the government to avoid and manage the emergence of fraudaulent transactions and illegal activities. Stocks are equities that are part or portion of a company or corporation. People usually invest in stocks because of its long term value.

Personally, I think its better to have both because both can generate good stream of income. They can make your money profit in a certain span of time and are nice platform to put the hard-earned money because of its potentials and function. However, also take note that these mediums are also risky. So invest at your own risk. Crypto is volatile. So is the stocks depending on the economy's trend.

Invest wisely. Diversify. Never put all of your eggs in one basket because it can cost you so much later.

One thing I would like to state here is that Stocks and crypto both have almost different intent. Most of the cryptocurrencies are created with the intent that they could be used as a medium of the transaction so what's the point of holding them as an investment? While yes it's true that some projects do create crypto with the intent of raising money but stocks are still better. Reasons are simple if you buy stocks of some company you actually get to control the company and its decisions that thing is not possible with cryptos even if you have majority coin holding with you. The company is not legally bound to listen to you. So for businesses and investments, stocks are better. But trading is a game of volatility and the crypto market is an ocean of volatility. You get the most profits while trading in a volatile market only.

Still, cryptocurrency and stocks have a lot in common. For the purpose of conducting transactions and using as a means of payment, only general purpose coins are created. However, a significant portion of the cryptocurrency is tokens. They have a lot in common with stocks, as they serve certain programs or business. Shares give you the right to control only if you own a certain percentage of their issue. Typically, this is 51 percent. If you have the same percentage of the total issued tokens, you can also influence their price movement.
However, the cryptocurrency market and the stock market are distinguished primarily by the high volatility of cryptocurrency prices and the absence of their direct regulation so far.

Kirpro money market?

Do you mean crypto?

however, this choice varies according to the way you invest. For example, we once saw the rise of health stocks due to covid. I guess it takes a shorter rise in stocks. I don't know the stocks well, but it's definitely not a place for someone with hopes of getting rich pretty soon.

There are many stocks that have rose when the covid pandemic has started. But the main event and most rose did happened in the crypto market.

For which has been led by bitcoin and there were altcoins that moved more than the percentage that bitcoin did.

Influencing price movement is a concern here. Stock gives you a right to control the project or the company or at least influence the major decisions and also appoint key managerial personnel of the company but cryptos on the other hand don't have this feature. They don't give you the right to influence the decisions of the project. Forget about decisions they don't even offer you the facility to ask for accountability of any project if you hold a certain set of tokens. While shareholders command complete accountability on the affairs of the Company. This is what is the major difference I am talking about.

I agree on this. Both industry have some similarities, soon crypto will become regulated like stocks so the big guys have more ability to manipulate. At least recent activities from U.S government give us the proof it will happen. I've been here a long time and I would not tolerate such activities and completely against Bitcoin. Crypto thing should not be regulated but at some point I can't differ but Bitcoin should maintain it nature. I'm just not here to trade, it's something beyond our thinking.

I do not consider stocks and crypto even remotely close to each other at all. You may live in a nation where stock market is doing good, or it could be a nation where companies are ahead of politicians, for example if you are in USA it is a good idea to have money in stock markets and that's fine, especially if you find a good company to invest into.

However you should remember there are 100+ nations where companies are not doing well because of politics and because of how the nation is bad, hence putting your money into crypto is basically saying "I believe crypto will profit me more than my nation can do in any way" and that is a proven fact for so many nations. I could have bought the best profitable stock of the last year and it wouldn't be 50% of what bitcoin did for example, and that is the most profitable stock, that is why I do not see any point on investing into them if you are in one of those nations.

Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks?

I was also thinking about this about a week ago, and also thinking about eTORO as that platform is the one recommended to me by some friends. I have notice that the movement on value to stocks are quite slow, so as a user, I'd rather go with crypto instead especially if we are talking about bitcoins.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Indeed, stock is more stable and more safer than crypto currency. They believe that stock never fall in price because they have a real function in the real life comparing to crypto currency who just still be questioned by some people for its function because just a few coin which can be used and be seen its function in the real life.

 This is why that will make the stock price is more stable because their investor will be comfortable to still hold their investment. But, it is just a procces, I believe since the development of times and the digitalization system has been widely used by everyone, the function of crypto currency will be immediately felt by many people so as every investor's crypto can comfortably store their money in crypto currency.

[Coyster]

Quite a lot of people invest in the both (Crypto and Stocks), others prefer one of the two, thus imo, it's down to the individual and what sort of ROI they are seeking, as well as the space of time they are willing to let the investment grow. It'd be much better to use Bitcoin in place of crypto, cause quite a lot of crypto (excluding Btc & a few other alts) are pump and dump coins, having said that, the thing is that investors will choose an investment option that they understand, are comfortable with and can somewhat predict, thus I'd not pick which is better on the general point of view, as every individual's case can be different.

[Dilerium90]

I think cryptocurrencies are a fairly young market and much more volatile than stocks.

Crypto trading is definitely not for everyone but instead of holding shares for 10 years, you would have gotten alot more for 10 years just by holding top crypto like btc or eth

I totally agree with you. Since the cryptocurrency market is still very young, its growth potential is unlimited. The entire capitalization of the cryptocurrency market at the moment is only 2.5 trillion dollars. For the stock market, these are mere pennies.

while in stock have feature short selling , i am sure it will like condition in crypto market. stock price oftenly drop due fundamental , it have less manipulation that make price drop just like happen in crypto market. but i am believe investors now start shifting their money into crypto too due many adoption in real life from crypto projects.

If it is ROI we are talking about then probably crypto is going to champion over stocks because it got someone a million in just 10 years compared to stock. But if you want to be comfortable and don't worry about your investment getting stolen or having some sort of insurance then probably you should consider stocks, both have their own merits.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

In my opinion, Crypto and stocks are related because indeed many new retail investors are currently shifting some of their investments and transactions from the stock market to crypto. Crypto momentum is currently a trend. can go up 100 to 1000 percent in a short time, making new investors interested in trying it, on the other hand, the condition of the capital market issuers is currently a bit sluggish and sideways in a place with a slightly corrected tendency, as the global stock market tends to be sluggish because currently, the US dollar is strong.

However, both instruments have their respective momentum, and transaction fluctuations are normal. When the stock market strengthens again, investors will automatically have the potential to return to busy transactions in stocks. So, be it the stock market or crypto market, there will be momentum respectively and will take turns going up or down.

[Alucard1]

I always prefer investing in crypto over stocks as crypto is much volatile than it, the higher the volatility of an asset then the higher the risk, the higher the risk then the higher the profit you may have. You are taking risks for investing in both assets so why bother investing in cryptocurrency if it can give you much profit in the future. Crypto is controlled by people and that is what I really want, unlike stocks which are controlled by an institution or even the government.

[Peanutswar]

It depends on your preferences if you want to invest to those economic base go ahead but I think if we are talking about more volatile its better if we take a look with the cryptocurrency right now there are a lot of people makes an investment and trade with this kind of strategy and at the end of the day the only winner is the one who has a strong hand.

Are you willing to join the ride of the market volatile of crypto or a slow phase and took a long run of stocks? Also, the stocks handle by the big investors but in the crypt,o we have whales which are the best way to get rich immediately.

[Koro-Sensei]

In all seriousness, I believe crypto is quite comparable with stocks but with much advance technology. In crypto trading, you could have much more profit in just a small amount of time as well as reverse. However, in stocks, it is believe historically that it's price goes upward but in a long run. Market volatility in crypto is also one of the vital aspect when it comes to comparing the two.
