Bitcoin trading or Investing in the stock market

[Xampeuu]

If I only have to choose one of them, I rather choose investing in stock market. Investing in stock market has a very low risk if you really have knowledge on it. You will not get liquidated if the price drops. You just wait until the price goes up, but it takes so much time before we gain a lot. Bitcoin trading is really difficult, we really don't know the next move of the market. You will experience losses in trading but if you have a good mindset and strat you will overcome it and gain a lot of money in a short period of time. So in terms of risks, Bitcoin trading is more riskier than investing in stock but Bitcoin trading could make you rich in no time if you really know how it works with proper mindset and good strat.

Both are financial markets and don't say bitcoin is unpredictable, even with the stock market, you can never predict what will happen. The only difference is that bitcoin is much more volatile than the stock market, but the more volatile it is, the easier it is to make big profits. To get a profit from trading based on your knowledge, don't try to blame bitcoin when you don't profit from bitcoin. If you don't like high volatility, then stocks are more suitable for you, bitcoin is not for the faint of heart.

there's nothing wrong with the market, whether it's bitcoin or the stock market. sometimes we force the market to always be according to our wishes or analysis. whereas things like that make us destroyed in the market. we can only predict and in the end can profit or loss. but I think it's more about how we manage risk, so that it's not profit-oriented that we will always get on every transaction, but sometimes we also have to be able to accept losses in trading

Which is the best?  Trading on bitcoin or investing in the stock market? The battle between short period earning and long-term earning. Share your thought about it.

If you are into safe investor then stock market would be your choice, even if the stock you invest is down it's not that big compared to when bear market happens in Bitcoin market where it could cut up your capital up to 30% or even more if you are not aware of that. But if you use DCA strategy for Bitcoin then having stock market as your secondary source of income would be really beneficial for you since you get multiple earnings.

It was very important that we are aware of the situation before investing and must be specific about what we are doing. It is obvious to fail and lose our money in an investment that we have no knowledge of. Whether choosing any of them all to be right as long as we reach our goal. It is all about looking for a place where we are comfortable, living in our comfort zone helps us to make a good decisions which is a big factor in our success.

But for me, I've preferred crypto investment because of its volatility and of course, this is the place where I'm more knowledgeable with.

The comfort zone is good, but I know many cases when a person, being in the comfort zone, did not want to do anything and this is not very good, we either grow or degrade, there is no middle ground. Trading is a difficult job and it is difficult to stay in your comfort zone while trading, most likely investing in bitcoin will allow you to sleep peacefully if you are investing in cryptocurrencies.

It cannot be generalized, depends on the person. If you are good at crypto, trading/investing in Bitcoin is surely the best option. But if you are good at the stock market, you probably choose to invest in the stock market because you are familiar with the market nature. Regarding short-term or long-term profits, it depends on the target of your investment. Both investing in Bitcoin and stock market can be targeted for short-term or long-term profits, everyone can determine how long to hold their assets.

Depends on trader's experience, if you are good at trading crypto markets then answer is bitcoin trading. If you have confidence you can make it better on stock markets, the potential ROI will be higher on second option. Anyways, long term investing is best choice and stock market investment can't go wrong if you know what you are doing, IMHO. My suggestion is to try both markets and check results for making long term strategies.

As beginners who really don't have any experience in this field, trying them both is the best option. Both of them are risky and also profitable but this will depend on us - the way we manage it and the way we make decisions.

I preferred trading over the stock market because I was exposed to it and it seems to be a good place to stay. Yes, we have to choose the kind of business that we are comfortable with but sometimes we also need to try for another field, maybe we are good at it also. And I believe that investing in the stock is worth trying, in fact, many known names are doing this.

Yes, that's right, it goes back to the ability of an individual in which field they are more in control, bitcoin or the stock market. If this question were directed at bitcoin investors, they would definitely say that investing in bitcoin would be better, but if this question were directed at people who invest in the stock market, they would answer the same thing. But if we have the ability and the interest to do both I think that would be even better, as long as our focus is not divided. Because it's not good if we do both but the results are not optimal, it's better to do one of the two but the results obtained are maximum.

Ive been into cryptocurrency trading and currently I've been busy taking some reality things as adulting right now and for me with the market volatility, it's too hard to get a vibe on it so ideal to be is having a stock market because I become more into long term investment but still I'm watching with the market price of the bitcoin getting steady and waiting for the opportunity even though it's a crypto or stocks if you have the chance to grab why not take a risk to invest if you have an extra spare of money. Still use a trading plan with a good analysis for your positions.

At the beginning of your journey I think it is for the best to only concentrate on one market and there are several reason for this, to begin with our funds are limited and if you were to invest in too many markets you will probably not have enough money to invest in all the good assets you can find on each market, we also need to add the increase in the trading fees and taxes you will need you pay, and finally your attention will be divided and you may miss opportunities you may not have missed if you were giving your full attention to a single market.

If you are predicting short term gains for Bitcoin you are wrong. Just like you invest in companies you should invest in Bitcoin. Because the future is here.
Bitcoin is superior to many companies in terms of total market value from the time it was first released to this time. I treat the time you invested as the date of emergence of Bitcoin. If you are someone who likes research and sees the future well it makes sense to invest in companies.

Maybe if you had asked this question on 3 January 2009, i could have answered stocks but right now it is very difficult not to mention bitcoin. I don't like to invest all my savings in one place when investing so i take care that my investment in stocks and bitcoin is balanced.

Bitcoin and stocks market kind of investment, i will say that whosoever that is into cryptocurrency will directly agree that the best investment to partake with should be Bitcoin, while someone who knows the stock market and don't have the pre- understanding of Bitcoin will go directly to embrace stock market kind of investment. So it's vice versa, and actually depending on the one you can coup with.

[FanEagle]

Not many people even saw the big difference in the idea. "Trading" bitcoin, but somehow it's investing into stocks. If you said trading bitcoin or trading stocks, I would understand, if you said investing into bitcoin and investing in the stock market, I would understand. But why trading bitcoin yet investing into stocks? That's not just words, that is a totally different thing.

If you invest into bitcoin, as in buy and hold for a long time, then you will make more profit than investing into bitcoin, but if you invest into stocks yet trade bitcoin then it depends on how well you can trade it, if you are good then yeah, if not then it is better to invest into stocks.

I am not into the world stock market but into my local stock market. It actually depends on someone's taste to trade and the effectiveness of your analysis. Both are nearly the same with highs and lows. People say cryptocurrencies are so volatile but there are actually very volatile stocks too. I own a stock that is now only valued at 11% of my original capital. But I prefer cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin because I believe they are the future and we need a decentralized but regulated monetary system. Another thing I noticed is the fees, in my local stock market, I need to pay a 1.19% fee for buying and selling whereas I only need to pay around 0.50% fee when I buy and sell bitcoin.

This means who are you fighting but you are putting the question to people who have different understandings to seek their advantage. Those of you who are more profitable with crypto and some are using the stock market. It's best to ask this in detail with everyone's intelligence.

There isn't the best thing for everyone. It's going to be an adjustment toward what market would be favorable to you because there are many things you can consider when checking out the market fit for you. You can view the following.

In the crypto market, here are the advantages that I could think of

• Decentralization
• 24/7 trading
• Easy access to your assets, you have it in digital form

The disadvantages of the crypto market

• Too volatile (sometimes a double-edged sword. It could let you profit in the right direction; you could lose a lot.
• Need to be somehow tech savvy(newbies to get scammed are easy)

In the stock market, here are the advantages that I could think of

• Highly regulated
• Rich history - A lot of things have happened already in the stock market, and there are a lot of data

The disadvantages of the stock market

• Less volatile than crypto market
• Fees to brokers

It's still up to you whether you would go with the crypto or stock market. Could you make sure you are investing what you can afford to lose? That's the best way to be manageable and profit in the long term.

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.

  Wise quote cause Bitcoin trading is more easily to understand than stock market trading. I normally trade on stock like gold but when I got into cryptocurrency trading I find out that cryptocurrency trading is more easy to understand than stock market trading.

I believe that in many respects this choice should be made based on the knowledge of the trader and, in general, on the basis of understanding the operation of the market. Otherwise, the result may not be the most pleasant, I advise you not to rush to make a choice.

   Yes. But once again cryptocurrency trading is more easy and profitable than stock in stock trading it requires an expert to understand while cryptocurrency trading with just an understanding of the candle sticks u can trade

That's true, if we would be investing into bitcoin, then that would be better than investing in stocks, but this is trading discussions section so I am going to talk about trading bitcoin or trading stocks. If you are someone who buys and sell stocks quickly, like a short term trader in the stock world, the amount of expenses that requires will be huge.

Buying and selling stocks causes a lot more money than what it does with bitcoin, whereas trading bitcoin could be great because even 0.25% profit could end up being profitable due to trading fee, depends on where you trade of course. That is why it's important to realize what you want to do, and what you want to achieve.

There is no single word answer to the question that whether crypto is best or stock is best. Stock is well matured market and is regulated while crypto is very new,  unregulated and highly volatile. This volatility has its own pros also like if you have bought crypto at right time then you get benefited by sudden bull run of bitcoin or vice versa.
I do agree with you that its very much important to invest in market which you are well aware of rather then just moving with trend. If you are investing in crypto just because you hear its going up then you are making a mistake. 

[Lida93]

If stock trading was best for me then am sure I wouldn't be here on the forum learning, discussing and sharing experience about bitcoin. In as much as I have no knowledge on how the stock market and trade works then definitely it's ain't the best for me. Maybe not now.

If you do want less volatile then go for Stocks
If you do want that huge volatility then go for Crypto.

This is their main differences and this is also the sole reason on why profitability chances is different on each side and of course the risk would be also as high as well if you do tend to touch
up crypto space.Some arent really just that too confident when it comes to this manner and this is why they've decided to stick into non volatile things which it isnt really
that bad at all.There are really just people who are really that adventurous or do really likes to face up something which is really that risky but something rewarding
at the same time.
