If I were Warren Buffett, I'll answer obviously the stock market and he's a long-term earner.
But since we're in a bitcoin forum and I'm a bitcoin investor then I'd say that bitcoin is better for me because I've experienced the better things with it when I'm able to make a profit through it. And if you're struggling to choose, you're already in the forum and it's not just bitcoin trading but it also includes altcoins if you're for it. But instead of bitcoin trading,you may want to choose bitcoin holding instead.

If you plan to hold for a long time, go crypto and forget about it. If you're looking to be more engaged and more active in your investment, go and pick stocks. Both will equally give you $$$, but stocks is way harder to get profits from and usually has movements that are very weak and incomparable against bitcoin.

In bitcoin/crypto, you literally just buy and forget and come back after a year or two and you'll get profits. Minimal effort, maximum gains.

Yeah, if we were making that much money from stocks then we wouldn't even be here. We would simply just look at stocks that we picked and how much money we made and that would be enough. In any case, I have to say that it's a good life that we are living right now in the crypto world the same way warren did with stocks, there are a lot of people who made a lot of returns and I feel like it's not going to be that much of a shock in the long run if someone gets as rich as Warren did from crypto investments.

I mean we still have some time, in 10-20 years there could be some worlds richest man from crypto, and it's too early for that now but when that happens it will definitely impact the prices a lot and people will want to become like that person.

I will let you know first --which you prefer in trading, a very highly volatile market that is very risky or a market where all coins have a stable moment with less risk but I don't know regarding generating profit, as we know making a profit in a very high volatility cryptocurrency is very easy. So I think there is a right comparison between the two markets because they are different. If you will ask me, I will do crypto trading since it is highly volatility --the price fluctuates very high which makes you make a profit easily. However, if you technically don't know the crypto market, I suggest you research first before diving into such a conclusion.

Why are the twoo options trading bitcoin and investing in the stock market? What about trading the stock market or investing in bitcoin?

If you're going into trading, you'll be best off starting to trade both to høne your skills and work out which one you're more accurate with/which you find easier.

Investing brings a more stable long term growth but trading can bring higher returns than investing if done well.

Diversify investments into a lower risk that suit which is investing based on your skills.
Investing or trading always matters in the skills and knowledge that you have.  

In the historical records of stocks, there are a lot of people has been benefited and generated generous returns from it and it's possible on your side.
Trading might be tricky, but if you've skills, go for it.

Both markets are volatile, never expect a quick return or it's not guaranteed.  It's better for you to understand these circumstances before choosing the right for you.

Diversifying the investment is good choice, but it needs to be done in the right way. I'm much used to cryptocurrency trading than investment into stock and other form of investment. I find cryptocurrency trading to be much easier than stocks and forex. One who have used to cryptocurrency trading will never think of other form of investment, though it have got high risk.

Short term and long period earning then both things are capable but we could really be able to obviously tell on which one does give out that opportunity on earning big and this is where crypto do really get the spot
because of its volatility but of course it would be more dealing with that high risk which is much more than on stocks or forex trading.Both are on the same concept when it comes to making money
which is to buy low and sell high but they are really that different when it comes to gain  and movement of price which you could really be able to tell once you do be able to test out
both things.If you cant bare up the risk on crypto then you could always have the opt to stick with stocks or forex.

If I am asked to choose too,I will choose crypto because with crypto,I am save from theft,I am save from debt,and I am save from so many phisical risk,but it is good to get the both, investmest in crypto and investment in stock market.I cannot use all my fund in investmest in only crypto because I know the risk involved.But some persons that don't know the risk,they might decide to put all their funds in crypto because they haven't suffered heart break before.Getting the both is the best for me,so that if one dissappoints,the other will be there to help me.

Diversification is needed, you can understand it as a way to minimize risk.
You can invest in crypto and trade with it, while you can also invest in the stock market.
Other than of that, you can also invest your money in property, land, gold and anything that allows you to make money. You can make money even if you don't make much.

The best investment is not only about the possibility of making lot of profit, but you must consider the risks so that no matter how small the profit you will get, at least it can prevent you from losing lot of money. So I dare not say which one is the best, because in the long term even chicken eggs will be more expensive due to inflation.

If I had to choose between those two, and if I had a lot of money, I would invest in both. But in my current situation and I am not a rich person, I would prefer bitcoin as my investment in terms of the long term. But if ever I have given a chance to I will also invest in stock market that's for sure.

Since this has been my source of income for 6 years, somehow I have built myself here by having skills and knowledge about things related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Nothing is best in this world. Every thing has its pros and cons and you have to decide which one cons are acceptable to you while you enjoy the pros.

There is no similarity between long vs short and stocks vs crypto so I am not sure why you put that question in the post.

Stock markets are regulated and have been under centralized control. Many stocks are kept for long term and often they are paying out dividends to holders. Bitcoin is a more recent asset class and it is also for the long term for most old timers, it's market are not regulated and takes more strict security measures to keep safe.

I have personally come from a stock market background and added bitcoin to my portfolio. Have been doing both and I will definitely continue like that.

Yes anyway we just need to adjust it depending on our preferences,
everyone has a different decision there are people who prefer to invest in crypto and vice versa there are those who like to invest in stocks,
the most important thing is always to do research and consider carefully.

Bitcoin is crypto, stocks are stocks and they have their own exchange. You can invest long term or short term in both. What is your question? Long term investment versus trading?

If it is bitcoin, long term  investment is far better than trading because trading is riskier and only few people actually make profit from trading unlike investment that is meant for everyone to make profit.

There's no doubt that our lives became better thanks to crypto and mainly to bitcoin. Without such, I guess we'll be back to our old lives when we're not even educated on how to take care of finances as we're able to learn about it through bitcoin.
So, choose where you think you'll be able to build your empire. It's not all about how quick you'll be good in trading stocks or bitcoin but about the stability and learning to understand each of its sides.

I prefer bitcoin and altcoin over stocks. I follow the strategy of using part of the capital for speculation and holding the bulk for long-term investment.

Since there is now a bit of a rally in the market, Bitcoin and Altcoin are starting to move. Some good profits can be obtained by scalping on some pairs that have good volume.

As for the second option, which is holding in the long term (especially Bitcoin), this remains the best option, because we have not entered the expected big bullish market until this moment.

Your question is like asking which is best — starting a business or getting a job. The answer will always depend on the person, with a lot of factors to take into consideration. Taking note that you already know the difference with concerning the time frame — so it can't really be one or the other. It can even be both.

You are making a bad comparison. Trading in Bitcoin and Investing in stocks. It is not a fair comparison.

A fair comparison is Trading in Bitcoin and Trading in stocks, what is better? or Investing in Bitcoin or Investing in stocks, what is better?

My personal thinking, Investing in Bitcoin is better than in stocks. Since 2009, you can not say stocks give better profit, ROI than Bitcoin.

Trading in Bitcoin is worse than in stocks because with no limit and less regulations on the cryptocurrency market as well as cryptocurrency exchanges, there are more manipulations and shady playing games from exchanges which can kill traders more easily.

Generally trading is bad in either stocks and Bitcoin. Investing is better than trading with a condition that you invest in a right one and Bitcoin is one of best things for investment.

Why not both? Yes, you can gain more in crypto trading if you have the right skills, this include day trading in alts/token rather than just holding BTC or ETH and we're talking in both bear and bull season.
Investing in stocks might be best but only for long term, but you have more assurance that it won't go to zero or 50-80% down overnight unlike in alts/token imo.
