Who is Happier: Stock investors or Bitcoin investors

[jaysabi]

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?

Saylor definitely isn’t an early bitcoin investor. He’s an incredibly recent latecomer.

The question as posed is irrelevant. Happy is the investor who sleeps soundly at night. Trying to draw arbitrary lines between stock and crypto and classifying who is happier... what’s the point?

Define "happy" on that part? Successful? Gain lots of profits?

No need to actually pinpoint the difference of gains since then. We should just focus on our own handled investment either as a stock or crypto investors.

I'd rather not think outside of my circle of investment and how others are working their way to becoming successful at their own means.

The term used here is wrong. Rather than asking who is happier, the OP should ask who is more successful. It doesn't make sense to ask whether an investor is happy or not. He can be happy due to many reasons. Happiness and profit are not the same. Ideally we can say that those who get more profit should be more happier, but arguments can be made. In other words, the OP can ask who is getting rich, or who is getting more ROI. But if you use the word "happy", then under these circumstances it really gets weird.

right, people have their own measure of happiness. between stock and crypto investors is clearly different. On the one hand, investors who prefer stocks, may develop their money in a slow way but their funds are safe. for crypto investors maybe he prefers to make a quick profit. I think it comes back to the person who lived it

Both are good It usually depends on the investor knows which investment is better bitcoin can provide a superior alternative for people in the developing world for reliable digital payment channels. Combining investor knowledge and blockchain technology awareness with market activity provides bitcoin as a mysterious glowing shiny investment option for stock investing it can't do as it pleases the company has to act like an employee.

[magneto]

I personally think BTC investors.

They are backing a greater cause, imo, given the fact that BTC is a whole movement towards decentralisation. Individual stocks have certain purposes but mostly, they are just there for profit generation and profit generation only, without trying to disrupt the existing system to make it better.

In terms of volatility, BTC investors definitely have to ride through a lot more ups and downs - but they get rewarded quite handsomely too for their belief.

Both of them became happy since not every stock investor would like bitcoin and not bitcoin  investor would like stock to. Each of us have different preferred investment  option and I can say that both of the selection  are happy once stocks prices  goes up the same with bitcoin. Although  sometimes bitcoin give a  huge  profit but the  risk is   also high since we are dealing on fast moving market and this is the reason why old guys doesn't like bitcoin and prefer stocks for their  investments.

[ipanks]

Warren Buffett is a happy investor with his stock as we know that Warren is one of the successful stock investors. That will happen too, with Michael Saylor as the bitcoin investor. Both types of investors will enjoy their wealth from their investment and will happy than the other people. It is no matter whether stock investor or bitcoin investor will be happy because we have different ways to make money. But as I am a crypto investor, I think I am a happy crypto investor, especially as a bitcoin investor, because I can profit from my investment like those you mention.

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.

As far as I know, Saylor, ie his company MicroStrategy, first invested in BTC a little less than 1 year ago - until then he was very skeptical (better to say negative about Bitcoin). Here we have everything documented -> MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash. So a description of an early investor is not something that goes with his name, unless you think the time before 2020 should not be taken into account?

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?

Today I read that WB and his empire lost about $6 billion on some of their investments in well-known companies (Apple, BOA, Coca-Cola ...), so the question can be asked is he happy about it?

Saylor, on the other hand, has lost nothing given the average price of Bitcoin given that the investment has been going on for almost a year, and what it then bought for $250 million is now worth about $685 million. I think people are happy if they do what they love, and I have no doubt at all that the two of them do just that - just as a farmer is happy to invest his money to buy more pigs, cows or horses because he is good at what he does.

If we consider the option you proposed, then I think that both are happy, both the one who invests in stocks and the one who invests in bitcoin. The thing is that both of these people earn and have excellent profits by investing in both stocks and bitcoin. However, if we consider this issue more broadly, then probably there is still a better direction for investment, but everyone should choose this for himself. For me, at the moment, the best investment is in Bitcoin.

[irsada]

There is no definite answer as to who is happier. because everyone has their own capacity.
but if i may choose because i really know more about the bitcoin market and also the many people who become millionaires because of it. I personally prefer bitcoin.

[Reid]

Who knows?!
I can be happier than them even with my average salary every month.
Money can't buy anything. But the question of who is more successful in investing their money then it is with those who kept their Bitcoins. Why? You made it this far with just a little amount of time.
12 years? 10? 5?
I'd be happy with that and there is the truth that you held those bitcoins unlike with stocks.

In stock investment investors and companies provide mutual benefits. if what is offered is a fair distribution, but it is possible that many companies will also receive benefits because when it comes to the stock market, the stock value also affects the product. Surely they also do a lot to increase their value stock, from making sales. promotion. and other business matters. so essentially both provide benefits if successful. The concept of bitcoin investor are more like holding gold so stock investors and bitcoin investor its different. investor and trader different.

There is this highly demeaning act towards stock investors in the crypto world, I do not know why we are belittling the stock investors just because we are in the crypto world. I still like stock investors because they are at least aware of the fact that they need to invest money into stuff to make sure they get rich as well.

A person that buys amazon stock actually makes profit whenever amazon does something illegal to enrich themselves, so you are actually moving towards the wealthy peoples side as a poor person (or maybe rich as well) so it is not really that bad. I would rather have stock of netflix or amazon instead of actually using them, at least it would make me a part owner of those places, sure a tiny bit but it is better for me to still own something compared to nothing. Crypto is still a lot better but that doesn't make Stocks that bad neither.

There are too many variables to define who would be happier - Did the bitcoin buyer get in early and hold on over all this time? Has the stock market buyer been a long term holder who has built up a sizable income stream from dividend or a lousy day trader who is trying to make a fast buck? There are many different strategies out their but it is perfectly possible to be happy regardless of what your investments are doing. At the very least, stock market investors have a lot more history to support their decisions and the market has trended up over almost a century now (provided you buy whole market index funds). Either way, money should not be what defines happiness in your life, even if it can make your day to day experience much easier.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It's a really hard question to answer I think. I'm both of them. I invest into fiat and Bitcoin at the same time. If you ask me the same question, I can't say that I'm happier about one of them compared to the other. Because I make some profit and lose some money in both of them. But Bitcoin has an advantage also. It can be easier to make a great deal of profit in Bitcoin in the long term.

[livingfree]

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.

Not only in 2013 but also in 2018 or even just last year.

The comparison of return is always better in bitcoin and that's we're happier than the usual stocks investor but they also have their own good days and for sure will boast of what they've gained from their traditional market.

That's why it really depends.

If you are generalizing the whole stocks against the bitcoin and give the best assets to invest still bitcoin gave the best possible returns ever in the last 10 years compared to the stocks. Some investors just stick with what they are good at and never going to take risks by investing on something which is not familiar to them which is actually a good thing to have as an investor but blaming the other asset just because they don't know what it is a completely different story.

[imstillthebest]

if the question is ask outside the two investor ,
 the answer can differ because not all that invest in btc are lucky but there are happy with their stock investments even if the return isnt superior like btc when its pumping .
but if the question is in between the two investor michael and warren , both of them are happy because both are succesful in thier own field .

Welp, you got to choose sides because there's got to be a side that wins. For me, I think stocks has the happier people because they are jubilant when the green is even at just a digit compared to crypto where a single digit even if it's a green isn't pleasing to many people.
