One of the sure-fire ways to build wealth is by investing your money, especially in stocks from a company with strong fundamentals. Interestingly in recent times cryptocurrencies most especially Bitcoin has been the talk of the town due to its massive ROI.
Warren Buffett is one of the most successful stock investors, in the world. Yet, Buffett has said he won’t ever buy the cryptocurrency for several reasons . Other hand Michael Saylor, an early Bitcoin investor and proponent has been credited with institutional Bitcoin boom in December 2020. He has made billions of dollars from Bitcoin. There are others like Mr Buffett and Mr Michael all over the world.
Truth be told both investors are doing very well. My question now is , Who is Happier? Is it the Stock investor or the Bitcoin investor?

There's no answer to that question unless there's a study conducted that tries to settle who is much more happier. In my opinion, it's a subjective matter in terms of happiness because sometimes what's fun to you, isn't fun for the other people. Plus, crypto and stocks is vastly different because crypto is much more volatile so a one digit percentage increase isn't sparking joy for crypto investors but for a stock market investor, that's a payday for them.

Those who get more returns will be happier. And it can either be the stock investors or the Bitcoin investors. Someone who invested in Bitcoin in 2010, when the exchange rates were $0.10 per coin, would be extremely happy now. The same can't be said about someone who invested in the same asset close to the ATH price of $62,000. And the same with the stocks as well. Those who invested in the IPOs of stocks such as AMZN, TSLA and MSFT has no reason to be sad at this point. But I wouldn't say the same to those who invested in Carnival Corporation and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

I don't think we should rely on the single billion dollar investor's thinking! He has his own agenda, his own rules in his own universe. When I am investing I don't even think about what Mr Buffet thinks or whether he is gonna make positive statement today or tomorrow. Though billionaires can have major impact on the Bitcoin and we have already seen this with the Elon Musk case, then also that's relative to that specific period only. The damage is not permanent for crypto. It's been a decade, it's fine if Mr. Buffet is not investing, crypto still went to crazy high rates and still has market cap of trillions of dollars. This will never decide our happiness. ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif)

it depends only on how familiar they are with the market they are participating in. for example a newbie who doesn't understand how trading works will lose money in both markets and will always be unhappy. but someone who has been trading stocks for years is going to be happier sticking to what they know. it is important to know that it doesn't matter that bitcoin is outperforming literary everything in the world, there are still a lot of newbies who lose money in bitcoin! take the last couple of days for example, a lot of newbies who sold their bitcoins are now crying that price has gone up.

Happiness is a feeling, an emotional state sometimes may last for a while, while at other times is sometimes short-lived. In terms of the stock and bitcoin investors, i will say they have both experienced happiness from their investment, and if comparing both of them in terms of who is happier, an answer is not conclusive enough because at different times, a stock investor might be happier than a crypto investor, and at another time, the crypto investor might be the happier of the two.
I think what matters is finding which investment works for you and the one you are willing to stick to like the examples of people you have used, and being patient with it, there is happiness and joy for every choice one carefully makes.
For stock investment, do proper analysis before investing in the stock of any company, for cryptocurrency as well, proper analysis and patience is required.

This question doesn't have a straightforward answer. Because it entirely depends on the entry time into both markets. Definitely bitcoin has given astronomical returns to its investors since last few years, stock market has also given a steady rise in investor's wealth. So I believe, as a retail investor, we should not stay away from any opportunity. I personally do invest in stocks and gold along with cryptos. The overall return is quite good and I am enjoying the best of both world. That's how it should be for everyone. Diversified portfolio is the basic of investing.

The hedge fund options trader who gets a performance premium when doing well and bail out money when failing. More on topic though, I think it depends on one's personal risk profile. While Bitcoin has outperformed the stock market the volatility is still not everyone's cup of tea. So while Bitcoin has given vastly better returns it probably also resulted in more sleepless nights for some. That is assuming that by stock investor you mean someone who is broadly diversified. Going all in on a stock or two will probably give even more sleepless nights than being invested in Bitcoin, while providing only a fraction of returns.

Depends on the person you will be asking, the stock investor will say that their happier than crypto investors and vice versa. There's no measure to this but if I may say, I think that stock investor are much happier because they have a stable market compared to crypto.

Whether you are a stock investor or Bitcoin investor, it does not matter whose one is better in the field or but is happier. Being successful in Stock trading depends on how professional a trader is and the number of experience that had been acquired over a certain period of time. Comparing Bitcoin and Stock is unnecessary in term of who is happier, cause being happy as a trader depends on how successful a trader his. Bitcoin investment is huge and long term investment that entails leaving a certain amount of bitcoin for a long term for it to appreciate before giving it back to the market. It is similar to Stock trading/investment but with high risk involved. To me Bitcoin has high risk involved, easily to be manipulated by whales and Bitcoin social media influencer. It can also be traded like the fellow Stock market, buying and selling of financial instruments to make profits.

How funny it is for beginners who have to compare our finances with a Warren Buffett and then as if it was considered easy. You don't have to be a Warren Buffet, when you feel proud of what you have now and continue to do it as hard and as hard as you can in managing all the assets you have. Sometimes that is the factor that prevents us from succeeding. too looking to a higher direction without considering the potential that exists in oneself. The question is why Warren Buffett can be successful? She has different ways and knowledge, and all have their own share in reaching the stage of success. Remember the more you look and look higher and keep trying to level your position and success with Warren Buffett, you will only be shadowed by dreams. One thing you need to do, is invest what you can set aside for the future and manage your abilities in every potential that has benefits in the future. so be successful in your own way, and start from the smallest thing.

Each investor in stock and bitcoin will be happier if they can make a profit because that is their reason to invest in stock and bitcoin. They will try whatever it takes to make a profit and no matter how hard, they will not stop until they can make a profit that can satisfy them. People who already invest in stock do not want to invest in bitcoin because they feel comfortable with stock and do not need bitcoin. That will happen too with bitcoin investors. But if the investors realize that the era is change, they will use both stock and bitcoin to make more profit.

Most companies all over the world are down due to COVID and investors are taking out their money to move it somewhere else. I wish we have a more reliable data but we know for a fact that there are retail traders and institutional stock investors who switched to cryptocurrencies. I haven't heard of anyone dropping crypto and focusing on stocks.

In my opinion this is a difficult question to answer as both generate different returns and stock or BTC I see almost no difference at all, one is happier than the other but to a different extent. Everyone's luck and right investment.

There no doubt BTC early adopters were much happier. From probably cents up to its all time high of 60K+. I don't see any stocks who skyrocket that high. However, happiness is just a matter of contentment and fulfillments. I don't also see why can't you be happy by a 10X return in stocks.

measure happiness by which characteristic? Wouldn't everyone feel happy based on their respective ownership? even those who don't own stocks and crypto will be happy to have wealth from birth. but is wealth the basis of happiness? all feel happy when it is profitable. but if not? then it cannot be said to be a happy characteristic based on stocks or crypto.

Indeed, both investors are doing well. Though both investors will say that they're doing well in their particular trades/investments. Personally as a bitcoin investor/trader, i think, Micheal will be on more profits in the near future as bitcoin investors are always on profits from it's beginning and more adoption is going to be happened. TBH, it's just about time to hodl the portfolio and enjoy the profits.

It’s hard to say, as, obviously, everything depends on too many factors: types of stocks, market stability, overall profit, and the investor himself.
But I think the right question to ask should be: who will be happier in the future? Right now, even large investors have some doubts regarding Bitcoin, and there are still issues present like volatility or market manipulations. Sure thing that won’t make any investor happy.
But as years will pass, I think Bitcoin will become the most wanted investment and those who invested purely in stocks might get the feeling that they should’ve bought Bitcoin earlier.

As a bitcoin investor, we'll say that it would be bitcoin investors. We have our bias. And for the stocks investor, they'll claim that they're happier.
Well, in my observation not having a bias. In every 1%-5% drop of the stocks, they're already panicking. While for bitcoin investors, a 10%-50% drop won't matter anymore because we've been used to this.

Probably yes but in terms of returns, it is more likely that Bitcoin were much supreme specially when you entered way back 2013 below. The fact that bitcoin it gains more than 40K% in the past 8 years, it is undoubtedly that BTC has quite an edge compare to stocks. I can't see any stocks performing like that.
