BITCOIN VS LANDED PROPERTY

[Mauser]

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

In my opinion both bitcoin and Real Estate are two excellent investments that every investor should hold in his portfolio. Investing in properties is a good way to store value and get a monthly rent payment, the problem is that it requires a lot of capital and it locks it down for a long period of time. With bitcoins we also have a good way to store value and it's very liquid, we can easily sell holdings if we need cash. In case I had two choose between one of the two I would go with bitcoins. There is much more upside potential with bitcoins, the price is much closer to its 52 week low, whereas property prices are still very expensive at the moment. The problem I have with real estate is that interest rates are rising sharply at the moment, which is going to make financing more difficult. I would wait for property prices to come down before making an investment.

In my country, there is no history of property prices decreasing, considering that more and more people need it, while land does not increase, and it is certain that property prices will always go up, but with high prices, not everyone can afford it even though it has low risk. different from bitcoin which can be bought according to our ability, but if we do not understand it will have a high risk

The points you have mentioned jo doubt Bitcoin is a good technology as an Asset for the future but dear let me clarify one thing if unfortunately, the WW3 starts Bitcoin may not stand by its Worth on another hand the property stands its worth even in critical conditions you may face some kind of losses but Value will be there and you won't Lose all.

It is true that Bitcoin includes all the features you mentioned compared to real estate or land and more than that as well, but in the end it remains virtual and not material and many people do not trust to put all their money in something virtual even if it has many features and a great future like Bitcoin, personally I prefer to split my money equally between bitcoin and real estate or land because we need tangible physical things on the ground, I can't risk all my money on something virtual.

Availability

Bitcoin also as compared to land has also been readily available for purchase at all time as compared to land which might be exhausted or not available at a particular area when needed at a particular time

We all say that land can be exhausted but decades have passed, centuries have passed and there are still land everywhere. In fact where there is no land is being turned to land and there are so many undeveloped areas.
Land is still fixed also bitcoin is fixed at 21 million, so both of them is fixed and can be exhausted according to your ideology.
It is because they are fixed in supply that is what means both of them good option of investment. If you can manage them 50/50 it would be a win-win situation for you in the future.

Being virtual is a big thing that keeps bitcoin usage down. With time people will understand. Even the common man who haven't got much of education about technology have begun to use digital wallets through smartphone. So, they're aware of the virtual usage and aren't prepared to believe something that is virtually available. We're in the transition period and soon this turns to be common.

Good idea but both have different purposes so it's just normal to have them both. Any investors will choose that way even if they say it's safe to invest in Bitcoin but diversifying your money to make a safe investment is a wise choice. Although, the risk is always present but it's the only way I think people can make their money not to get affected by the depreciation.

Still a land property is a good way to make your money grow over the year and Bitcoin investment is somewhat new but it's kinda safe if you know what you are doing.

I couldn't answer this poll because my answer isn't in the answer bank of options.  I wouldn't necessarily want either bitcoin or land over one another, I would and do want both.  When it comes to investing, you need to diversify your assets, and these two assets really have nothing to do with one another.  

Diversification is key, own land, bitcoin, stocks, bonds, precious metals etc etc.   If you need to build a house , you should buy land.  If you're looking for an alternative investment/asset, maybe bitcoin is your answer.

[dansus021]

both has positive and negative side like all the usual for me if I have money why not to take both. Landed Property can be used as passive income and bitcoin can be used as high risk investment to grow more money althought all investment is subject as risky s

[yazher]

You have a point but still, when it comes to assurance, especially agricultural lands can give you more income if you know how to manage it rather than waiting for the crypto market to rise. When you say about selling it, yes! you are right it's hard to sell land nowadays because of low demand since only a few people can afford it. But when it comes to securing your property, I think it depends on some places where there are places lands are more precious than diamonds and in some places, it is considered ordinary assets since they can buy some at lower prices.

[Charles-Tim]

You can get bitcoin with just the amount of money you wish to purchase it, like $50 worth of bitcoin. You may not have up to the amount of money you need to purchase land. People that do not have the money for land can go for bitcoin.

Land increase in value. Bitcoin increase in value. Both are worth buying.

If someone knows about bitcoin, he would likely have bought it before buying land because he can use any amount of money to buy it unlike while land.

* Easy sorting

You can say that now because its ease of accessibility is increasing by the day. I can tell you for free it wasn't as easy as it's now buying Bitcoin in the past. Let's say the early days of Bitcoin with limited exchanges and outlets to buy from. A lot of those who wanted to invest then got swindled. Perhaps, those licensed property agents who are digitalized won't find it difficult with sorting unlike those who do theirs manually.

* Availability
* Ease of Trading

The same as sorting issue. There are many interested traders (buyers and sellers) now and that makes it almost seamless transacting in Bitcoin.

* Faster D.O.R

I bet you need to buy at the wrong time to experience that it isn't all rosy with Bitcoin too in terms of profit making. Those who bought at ATH of $68k+ are still sobering up from that experience.

[buwaytress]

Faster D.O.R

Faster Dividend Of Return is one advantage of Bitcoin over landed properties, as one who invests in Bitcoin now(bear run) will be smiling in no time as there might be possible Bull run before the end of next year.

Not sure this will always prove to be true. Bitcoin's certainly proven to be long-term appreciative, but if you're talking about "faster", I know where I live property has been going up for over a decade, and yes, even slowing down now because of the economy, but still positive. It's of course dependent on location and demand but my neighbour, for example, is selling this year (in a bad economy) at over 130% appreciation from when he bought in 2017.

Use that time-frame and Bitcoin would have been 300%, but only if you caught it for that beautiful brief ATH period.

I really don't think this possible bull run before end of 2023 will recapture ATH.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

To be honest with you, I would rather invest in both of them, in as much as bitcoin investment has some edge over investing in landed properties, investment in land can be very profitable too one if lucky enough of find a very cheap one in an area that develop fast.

As a Nigerian, in November 2020, I bought 1 plot of land in my area here for #600k naira, as of now, November 2022, that is 2 years, somebody bidder asked to pay #3m naira for the same land and I refused because I didn't buy the land to sell it...

So land investment can be really profitable just the same way Bitcoin investment is, just be sure to get one in a good area.
So for me, with my experience, I will rather have both, that is invest part of my income on Bitcoin and invest the remaining part on landed properties.. This is a good way to diversify ones portfolio.

[seoincorporation]

Both are two different kind of assets, one is high risk and the other one is low risk.

If we invest in landed property the price will slowly goes up with time, is a really good investment for a long term. But if we buy Bitcoin then it can multiply the investments in some days, but this high risk means we could get big profit or a huge loss in the way.

Some people buy btc at $500 and now is at $18,500, and some other buy at $50,000 and now they lose more than 50% of their investment.

if you have the funds for both, why not? diversification your portfolio is always recommended when you are talking about investments. real-estate is one of the tangible assets that is great to get a hold of because as you said, its value increase over time. and if you are here in crypto market, bitcoin is one of the best coins that you can hold because of its potential. you just need to know when is the right time to sell your btc.

If do have the money or financial capacity or capability then i would definitely be dealing with both things which we know that real estate or somewhere in correlation do really appreciates over the years.

Although it would really be depending on the property that you have bought because not all properties or lands would really be ending up valuable in due time but there's always high potential
as we can see in todays situation where it does really actually happen or could really be that possible.

Be wise on your investment and dont limit yourself out on few industries but rather acquiring lots as much as you could as long you do have the money to invest on.

[krishnaverma]

I've read so much about Bitcoin in recent time despite it's bearish state now, the growth I've read and seen from the inception of Bitcoin, has been so far an amazing one,
Outside making my first Bitcoin purchase on the 23rd, of October 2022, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418706.msg61204329#msg61204329
I'm a also a local agent for buying and selling of landed properties, and from my observations, I can say that investing in Bitcoin has some edge(advantages) over investing in landed properties as follows
* Easy sorting
* Availability
* Ease of Trading
* Faster D.O.R

Easy Sorting

Bitcoin can be easily sorted for as compared to lands which in some cases, takes some time to sort at a land to meet a buyer's specification and budget.

Availability

Bitcoin also as compared to land has also been readily available for purchase at all time as compared to land which might be exhausted or not available at a particular area when needed at a particular time

Ease Of Trading

Buying and selling of Bitcoin can easily be done from the comfort of one's bed, which isn't the case with landed properties as it is difficult most time to sort for potential buyers and also sellers at some points and time.

Faster D.O.R

Faster Dividend Of Return is one advantage of Bitcoin over landed properties, as one who invests in Bitcoin now(bear run) will be smiling in no time as there might be possible Bull run before the end of next year.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

Even if the Bitcoin has many advantages over land investment, most of the people int country choose the later for investment. Let me list some reasons for this:
1) Most important thing is mindset. It took years for people to understand that land investment gives very good returns. It is now rooted in the mind of people as their parents used to discuss this in homes, they saw this in news and internet. It is very hard to remove this conditioning and replace land investment with a new form of investment like bitcoin.
2) It might sound ridiculous but people here boast of the properties they own. It is a matter of social status. On the other hand, even if you own a lot of bitcoin or other crypto, no one else will come to know about it. I know the idea to feel proud this way is stupid but we cannot change the way society operates. This is the way people think here.

However, gradually things will change and people here will also understand the benefits of crypto over land investment.

Can you elaborate more on this "faster dividend on return" thing? I don't understand it.
So you are saying that profiting from the Bitcoin bull run can be called "faster dividend of return"? Can't we just call it return of investment (ROI)? Bitcoin isn't a corporation and Bitcoin doesn't pay out dividends to shareholders. That's why using the term "dividend" in one sentence with Bitcoin seems wrong to me.
Anyway, there's no point comparing BTC to investments in real estate. They are just too different.
In my country, the real estate market is going up and that's the only good thing about the place where I live.

[minime0105]

It's crystal clear that Bitcoin is a bit ahead of landed property in some aspect.
1.In terms of using Bitcoin as medium of exchange, 

Bitcoin is not far better than landed property, because the investment of Bitcoin is have what we know as fluctuations why landed property only appreciate yearly and monthly without any break, so the difference between landed investment is different from Bitcoin investment, because theirs more risk in Bitcoin price depreciation why land keep going on everytime. Only thing that we can use to regards Bitcoin more better is because of it's constantly bullish market per annual.
