If we have crypto Why people still buy stocks?

[iv4n]

You have used a quite cheeky image there, I mean it does help with your point but it is definitely cheecky. Netflix went up 13488% that is true but it is SINCE 2004, so that is 17 years, and it is same for others as well, disney is high but since 2002, and Tesla got high but since 2011 as well. So long story short all these things made a profit in a decade or two for what bitcoin did in half a decade, that is not really that shocking if you ask me, that is why the question of "why to go stocks when you can make that much in crypto?" Because there are altcoins that probably did this much just in 2021 for the past 5 months, and that means stocks are not really an ideal thing to invest into.

The real reason to me would be that if you trust a company and you want to become "partners" you can sort of become one, a tiny one but you share that companies success, and if you really want that, then there is nothing that can stop you.

You quoted the image, but maybe you missed reading the lines under... if you did, I doubt you would write that "stocks are not really an ideal thing to invest!

Stocks can exhibit worthwhile percentage gains over time. Stocks and traditional investments are perceived to be more reliable and stable investments over the long term. Due to greater regulation, laws and in theory: scrutiny. They may also have better protection in the form of insurance and state funded bailouts.

Basically, just because some alts jumped like crazy (even I am not sure how they managed) it doesn't make them better! It makes them riskier, and I think we should wait and see what will happen with many of them in the next year, or two... while some stocks are surviving for decades, and in that way, they are more reliable and stable.
In the end, as long as there's some possible profit (in the short or long run) there will be people who will try to take advantage of it!

Because it's different type of investment. Many people still like stocks since there are real companies with stocks, they can see the progress of the company, know what's going on when the price increase or decrease, and can decide their investment by doing analysis of the company fundamental or such. It's less risky although of course the profit is not as high as crypto. However, crypto is more volatile, hard to predict, and can't really do analysis, since anything can happen in this market. But of course, since the risk is high, the profit we can earn is higher as well, so many people love crypto. It's just different perspective and taste, not many want to put their money in something risky, and prefer to play it slowly but surely.

Maybe because crypto is still as volatile as it was back then and I don't think that a lot of people is going to be able to handle those graphs that goes erratic most of the time. And I think that FUD also plays a big role as to why people aren't going in crypto, they are too scared to try.

To scared since most people still unaware of good benefits from this venue of investment,
the volatile nature of this market scare them out not to invest.

Most institutional investors always look for the safer side, with how crypto market works they are not convinced yet
that this business do offer long-term stability

I agree. This aspect is too dangerous to many investors so that they choose to stay outside and observe. Because of that reason, stocks are still their priority. They have a correct point. We do not know whether cryptocurrency is a good sign or not since we are facing fake projects, pump & dump scheme as well as scam exchanges. Investing in a regulated asset offer them the stability, safe and protection form the authorities while in cryptocurrency, investing in a wrong entity can blow off a whole company

I think the biggest reason why traders are still hesitant to move into the crypto market is the lack of trust that comes with the decentralization that is associated with cryptocurrencies. I know there are much better returns on some crypto as compared to stocks and risk lies with both the markets but when you invest in a stock you are supporting a company and expecting it to grow in the coming time but with crypto, you are trusting a particular coin to do well based on the promises they made in their whitepaper.

With so many fake and scam ICOs in the market it is hard for anyone to jump into the market knowing they might get trapped into a scam coin. Another reason might be because even today a lot of countries haven't accepted Bitcoins and it is nearly impossible to stick with something whose future looks dark and lies within the hands of the government. Bitcoin and crypto will bloom for sure but legality has always been an issue.

Why people still buy stocks?

Because people know how volatile crypto is and while the income can be outrageous the losses can be substantial as well.

3% daily gain is nothing If you can get 100% profit with Good coins pump.

With gambling you can even earn 1000% daily so why do people even trade crypto then? I hope you get my point. Every earning opportunity comes with a risk and based on the risk-reward evaluation we take decisions.

How the Hell people Even get rich with stocks with so small profits? 

Because, they have a huge capital to invest and even the 3% you are talking about, I don't know where it came from, is pretty huge. I don't think people even expect 3% daily from shares, I would be glad with 1% daily in fact as long as it comes without major risks.

There has some reason 1st knowledge. Though bitcoin is still not a subject for us we couldn’t learn bitcoin from any school or College if we need to learn then we have to find it on internet. Where we know about stocks in every where like school, College books, Daily article on news paper about stocks price update, daily tv shows about financial market. Because of these lots of people still know about only stock market. 2nd its unpredictable up down situation we know that crypto is a platform where coin price goes up or down in just a second and it could be any amount what people thinks much risky where stocks price is not it might be a 1-30% a daily up down situation which is quite safe. And 3rd a fear of government what i think don't need to explain i hope everyone knows about it. It is my opinion other users can be different. Thanks.

Traditional investors would surely stick on where they had been through ages and they cant just left it behind specially if they were profitable on that stock market.

They are just open into other opportunities which they might really be considering on giving a try and see if they would really able to make more money but of course

these people arent just testing out the waters without knowing the risk behind and it cant really be denied that cryptocurrency is way more risky than with stocks.

true, not everyone is ready to face the risk of high volatility. besides that, when it comes to cryptocurrency, it must be related to legality, we know that not all countries give freedom to the use of cryptocurrency. whereas stocks are officially recognized, so those who are not ready for a decentralized system will definitely prefer stock.

No many believe in what you do believe that is the first thing you should have at the back of your mind. Crypto currency market is too volatile and not many people will want to invest there money in such market because the tendency of you loosing all your investment is high and not many government and corporate entity accept crypto currency.

I agree with this opinion, in most people what they think and look for are safe things, whenever it is about money they look for the most stable, what is backed by Gold, by precious metals or what is backed by large corporations like GE, Disney, Amazon, Apple, among other stocks that are trusted by most people.

When talking about cryptocurrencies, not everyone has the financial culture of the same, many believe that Bitcoin is still a big bubble, others believe that cryptocurrencies are only instruments that will not give you stability throughout your life. Although there is now more movement in social networks about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, many begin to trust, some buy and decide to invest. Some people do it as if by fashion, and others if they do their research and learn, maybe that's where they see potential and decide to make the investment or purchase, meanwhile, governments and banks affirm that bitcon is a very insecure investment with High risk, people's ignorance will remain, very few are the most irreberent.

We can't stop other people to divert their money towards stock market, that's their fate on earning passive income. There's no big deal with that point as long as you're going to generate good results after all then keep doing what you're thinking good. However, we should be responsible of all the circumstances behind and don't easily get fooled by some strangers on stock exchange because if there's a scammer in crypto! Much more on stocks.

[iamsheikhadil]

Well, crypto trading has more profit than stocks I agree, but the risks of trading crypto vs trading stocks is really very high, and stocks (of good and established companies) are generally considered as safe investments, even through the eyes of government and regulations. Plus, it doesn't harm really to have some stocks in portfolios! Purchasing stocks of good companies is being a part of it and contributing to its growth making a good work for the society!

we all have our prerogative and belief so what ever they choose to invest is in their discretion  just like yours why you choose  to invest in crypto while there are already stocks.

That's the end goal for any investor, the investment should be safe and doesn't elicit fear whenever there is a big drop in the prices. Don't worry that they aren't in the market yet, they will come to this market sooner or later filled with regret that they started late.

Consider stocks like Apple or Tesla or Amazon, if you bought any of those early you did quite well until now. You also own a piece of a company that may pay dividends frequently and at some point of the company's life cycle it is less speculative and more of a safe investment compared to cryptocurrencies.

[Leviathan.007]

Because crypto and stocks are different and there are some benefits in each one of them for people depending on yourself you can choose the market. For example, if you don't want to take too much risk in order to gain high amount of profits you can choose stocks market because this market is much more safe comparing to crypto and there will not be much sharp price movements. However, there will be much less reward and your investment can be controlled by the government. In the other hand, crypto market is much more risky and will give you more profits. Generally, people can choose the market depending on themselves.

I agree with you. The volatility with cryptocurrencies is not what is attainable in Stock and most of the stock investors are more long term investors who have understand the company in which they are investing in and not like in crypto where people will be talking about 5 years investment, stocks are more 10 to 20 years investments and crypto is not there yet.

Don't get me wrong though, stock market is volatile too but it is pretty miniscule that it isn't even relevant in the first place. You can't attain a profit like in crypto with stocks if there isn't a lot of money involved in your stock market portfolio but you are guaranteed that it will go up over the long-term.

There is no single thing right on this post. Firstly, crypto may give you good profit, mediocre profit or, most of the times, huge losses. It is just like that, a risky business that made plenty of sense for people who invested early in bitcoin, ethereum and a few others, but for which most people are just laggards.

It is also incorrect that stock will give you small profits. There are a number companies, thousands, that would double, triple and multiply your money in months. The problem is that most people do not have a hint on how to do good stock picking.

Because they don't know about crypto yet that's why they keep buying stocks or they didn't leave to buy that and make crypto as alternative. There so many reasons and this is just few inputs on why we still see people buying stocks. Also its good to have an option since sticking on one option cannot maximize your profit that's why other investors are doing both just to make sure they are doing a wise decision on their investment.

Also I think the FUDs have to do something too as to why people aren't getting into crypto, they are too scared to lose their money that they might as well let it die in inflation instead of investing it in cryptocurrency which proved to yield profits in a short amount of time if you have invested for awhile.
