Has the popularity of bitcoins reduced interest of people in stocks?

[mrongoz_imut]

Simple thought: Anything that gives people another investment route will dilute the amount of money they have to invest in other things so yes, it would have reduced interest in stocks simply because if you have "X" to invest and want to buy certain things you have to work you which is more important. So, people will invest less in stocks since they are putting some of their money into BTC.

Moving on with that thought having people invest in other things will drop stock prices a bit so other investors will look elsewhere. Bringing more people into BTC.

Indeed, for now bitcoin is booming and many people have invested in bitcoin, but that does not mean reducing people's interest in stocks, it is very true as you said, some people have invested in bitcoin and have put almost all of their money in bitcoin, so they no longer have enough money to invest in other stocks, maybe because of the problem of lack of funds, the stock investment has decreased, but for those who have more money, they will definitely invest in stocks, as long as there is a profit, the opportunity to invest in stocks will definitely never be they waste.

The interest into stocks haven't declined among the stock holders for any reason. The younger generation have added cryptocurrency to the list as an alternate to the traditional stock investment. The ease of having control over the funds as well as the ease of trading makes more people consider cryptocurrency amidst the risk into it.

Nowadays corporate networks have begun to distribute good sum of stocks to its employees, so to keep them focused on stock market. I don't know whether this is being done for that particular reason, but it is happening around.

[GreatArkansas]

bitcoins may be more profitable than stocks. but some people still invest in stocks. Everyone has their own cycle.

stocks like bitcoin, go up and down. whether it's stocks or bitcoin must be equally profitable.
(....)

Bitcoin is just like stocks now. Since Bitcoin is still not existing before, now there are some stock investors who started to invest or trade on Bitcoin already.
Some people's reason is that of "diversity", there are also some people who hate Bitcoin which we can't force them.
For me, there is few effect here, since Bitcoin is already and lot of option how to buy Bitcoin now, for sure stock interest decrease.

I believe that awareness regarding crypto is increasing because in the future Bitcoin will boom, because it is undeniable that the world continues to develop, all leading to digitization. As time goes by, I'm sure many people will switch to investing in Bitcoin.

Even though Bitcoin is out of the box, it is not the same as stocks. Because stocks are easy to understand because they are designed to be easy and for people interested in investing in stocks, just buying a book about average stocks can make you an "expert" in stocks. Stock games are part of the system, bitcoin is out of the system, bitcoin is hard money, people must first learn what Bitcoin is etc and understand what hard money is, soft money.

Stocks are too slow when we compare it with bitcoin. People want quick gains and that is what bitcoin gives when put side by side with stocks and all others. It is also happening to me. Stocks does not appeal to me again since I learnt about bitcoin. It is easier for me to follow bitcoin than the stock market that has numerous company stocks to follow.

There are still traders that are sticking with stocks because the risk is lower than btc.
Though if you are already comfortable with crypto market, you may really favor the crypto market.
But it is also the same with crypto market, if you are following a lot of coins or tokens.
The difference with stocks is you can follow long-established companies, hence, reducing your risk of failure.
On the other hand, with cryptocurrencies, most projects are anonymous ones so you have no clue where they are heading to when it comes to development.

For low risk-takers, obviously, will choose a stock market investment. But for now, I'd feel the aggressiveness of the people and despite the higher risk that crypto investments have, they had pushed themselves to try it. I'd see the evolving mindset of the people and the confidence that they can do better in crypto.

It can't be denied the growth of crypto investors but still many people remain on the stock market, or some of them are taking both. But as the adoption of crypto keeps on growing, this will give more interest to the people than the stock market.

There are a lot of stocks, though some may not be too volatile, but there are some that don't take up to a year to yield 20–30% annualized interest, like your categorization said. If one invests in the right stock and gets lucky, the person can receive a 20–30% profit in one or two months; if the stock becomes too volatile, it will yield up to 30% in a week as well.

If Bitcoin makes some people less interested in stocks, that may be the truth but only in some countries, because over here, I hear Bitcoin more on the lips of people than stock, but I think there are still those who don't believe in Bitcoin and they are still much interested in stocks. I tried stock ones, but I did not make any serious profit, so I just feel less interested.

I don’t think the popularity of bitcoin which has drastically risen and still doing so would reduce people’s interest in the stock market. People would just be more inclined to diversify on their investment. While some people have only traded in stocks, the arrival of bitcoin has swayed a fair share of people to invest in it. That doesn’t mean they no longer invest in the stock market, it means a new portfolio for bitcoin would be created.
I think people would always invest in the stock market.

Bitcoin is always interesting and worth following, the development of the number of users continues to increase significantly, this can be seen from the transaction volume of top exchanges such as coinbase, binance, or crypto.com which experience significant daily transaction volume, of course this is a strong indication that investing in bitcoin in the future is a very profitable thing.

Everybody will not like a thing. There are going to be people who will take a left turn when others are going right. And that is what I see in everything we do both here and outside here. There are people who consider skydiving a normal sports while someone like me can not dream of doing it. Put me on death row and give me an option of skydiving, I will choose death row.

It is easier for me to follow bitcoin than the stock market that has numerous company stocks to follow.

But it is also the same with crypto market, if you are following a lot of coins or tokens.

We are only talking about bitcoin here against stocks. And not the whole cryptocurrency market. Please read the thread topic again.

Have you not seen established companies declaring bankruptcy? Risk is everywhere whether anonymous or not, whether online or off it.

Yes, it must be admitted that from year to year the number of users is increasing,
this is certainly very good for the development of crypto,
for the long term Bitcoin is a promising investment and will be profitable.

I don’t think the popularity of bitcoin which has drastically risen and still doing so would reduce people’s interest in the stock market. People would just be more inclined to diversify on their investment. While some people have only traded in stocks, the arrival of bitcoin has swayed a fair share of people to invest in it. That doesn’t mean they no longer invest in the stock market, it means a new portfolio for bitcoin would be created.
I think people would always invest in the stock market.

The classification of investors is divided into several types and for Bitcoin itself it is mostly dominated by millennials, almost of whom are more interested in Bitcoin. The basic reason is its own challenges ranging from its volatility and the usefulness of Bitcoin for individual freedom. While the parent group prefers stocks because of their conventional nature in looking at investment.

From these 2 groups, we can now see that the level of interest in Bitcoin is increasingly unstoppable. In terms of its benefits for millennials, Bitcoin is an investment target that fits their criteria. Millennials themselves tend not to want any ties or government interference, they want to control their Aoa as they please and Bitcoin has offered that for a long time. So that the millennial welcome rate soars high until 2023, millennials know more about Bitcoin than stocks.

You're right: younger generations are driving Bitcoin's popularity. It's fascinating how they portray it as a business opportunity that promotes their principles. Bitcoin's popularity comes from people' desire for financial freedom, in my opinion. As a decentralised currency, it offers management unmatched by other capital investments.

However, Bitcoin is a risky new asset class. Thus, it may appeal, but not universally. Before investing, investors, especially millennials, must research and understand the risks.

Understand that Bitcoin isn't your sole investment option. It's valuable, yet there may be better options for a particular person. For example, many investors have had success investing in the stock market.

[Z390]

The stock market is far more reliable than Bitcoin for many people out there, you can't compare Bitcoin and crypto market conditions with that of Stick market, you can invest in Apple or Amazon easily because they are visible companies but crypto is digital and volatility is very high, for safest investment people will always choose Stock over Bitcoin but for the best return of investment Bitcoin wins.

I believe that this is only a matter of time, crypto is growing faster than past year, now big companies like Amazon is getting into crypto, very soon all Stock investors that are not into crypto yet won't have any choice to keep avoiding Bitcoin and crypto.  

[alastantiger]

The answer simple- the popularity of bitcoins hasn't reduced the interest of people in stocks. As we may have read or heard, bitcoin is majorly popular among the young people. That is people who are called millennials and Gen-Z. Stocks are more popular among older age groups. That is people who are called BabyBoomers. Why is this so, millennials and Gen-Z understand the tech better than BabyBoomers who understand the manual side which is what stock is. It is a different era. Maybe in the next era the young people there will not have anything to do with bitcoin but their own thing at that time whatever it maybe.

Bitcoin isn’t some get rich quick scheme and like other investments and stocks in the stock market, profit takes time. It doesn’t just grow overnight so you could reap whatever gains you could get.
The stock market is still a viable way of investing and making some profit as well. Admittedly, investing in bitcoin for the long run would be lucrative, there are also numerous company stocks available that could give you huge profits as well. Investments generally take time to give you any profit if any.

[Flexystar]

Nahh, I dont think this is true by any means, Stocks is life for billions of people mate because of what it gives them in return. There is no comparison to the stock market and the amount of money that is invested into it. In front of the stock combined market value bitcoin is nothing and it can not attract all of them at once. Yes there is impact, and one of the greatest one but it does not mean the popularity is shifted towards the bitcoin.

There are big companies, big assets, big infra and businesses running on the public shares, people love it, people want to see that growth in the company they invest. They want to see their money grow crazy. There is different energy mate. So I respect bitcoin but we cant always choose it as the bestest.

Yes, it isn't but again like he said, BTC still moves faster than the stocks. I think that is because BTC is decentralized and there is no one out there to regulate its price or its market. This might also be the reason on why BTC is volatile, which is another factor for the price to rise and fall quickly. Only those who are newbies think that BTC or any other cryptos are a get-rich-quick scheme, this is why they hurry up investing after hearing some positive testimonies and they can even disregard learning first.

As a result many of those newbies lost their money. I don't think the popularity of BTC reduced the interest of people in stocks but I think it increase their interest on it because people who got involved in BTC, eventually learn that diversifying on different assets is a good thing.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

There is no specific data that we can convey that the popularity of bitcoin has reduced people's interest in stocks. But from what I've learned, bitcoin's decentralization makes people more likely to own it than people are interested in staying in the stock market.

I think in some countries, people are really shifting to crypto only and most of their investment portfolio is in the form of crypto instead of stocks. The awareness related to crypto is increasing day by day and this more people are getting included in this crowd. Stocks on the other hand become saturated, people have realized that these stocks are not as much profitable as bitcoins. Also, there are other benefits of bitcoins like it can be used for transactions. This cannot be done with stocks.

Bitcoin is widespread in terms of adoption because it has the power to survive in any conditions, recession and covid-19 are general descriptions regarding bitcoin's strength in maintaining value, on the other hand the stock market experiences ups and downs that are unable to react like bitcoin, so the steps to choose bitcoin are more profitable compared to the stock market.

However, bitcoin also has risks that affect price fluctuations, but for long-term holders this is not a big problem, because the cycle will run again according to the applicable stages.
