Bitcoin trading or Investing in the stock market

[jeraldskie11]

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.

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.

It started in 2020, I have been looking into  stocks and using paper trading accounts. I've been doing very well. The snag has always been the time  7am -1pm that the market opens. It is usually not convenient for me. During those hours, I am at work. But since cryptocurrency is available around-the-clock,
I'm inclined to choose it. Additionally, stocks are more expensive to invest in than cryptocurrencies, but if one has enough money to risk, it is best to just start investing in both with enough understanding.

Why not invest on Bitcoin so you could do it for long term as well? Bitcoin will defined give you much larger profits than stock markets in the long run. But I believe it depends on your perspective. I'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast that's why my take would be in Bitcoin, as always. Its high volatility is the main reason why it's good to buy for the long run, when it dips, that's when the opportunity to buy more for more profits. It's much worth the wait for me than investing my money on stock market.

The time limit or schedule in stocks make it a downside of it as we have to do trade or do transactions only at the certain times, I still do stock investments but not trading it regularly. I prefer to buy top stocks in my country and just keep it since somehow they will still be able to rise and get profits, though much longer waiting than in crypto. Unlike in crypto that we meed to monitor it regularly since the price is too volatile and can change in seconds depending on market conditions, its way more risky so we need to put more effort on trading it by monitoring and studying it.

I don’t get that, what you are referring to long term and what are you referring as short term? I mean it completely depends on a trader, how he wants to trade, or for how long he wants to hold his stock or coin. The main reason for which people avoiding forex trading or stock market is that, it has unnecessary fees or taxes and are regulated by the government. Whereas in crypto trading, no one can really know how many BTC i have or holding in my cold storage. Moreover crypto trading proves anonymity, which many users like.

You can invest on bitcoin for long term as well as on stocks for short term so the battle is decided by the investor so there is no actual thing called which is best among the two.

Let's assume one who mastered both bitcoin and stock market investing for years then imagine what they will do, for the information wise investors never forget the diversification so they will do both and try to dissipate the risk as well.

Obviously, both have their own pros and cons. Trading on bitcoin is risky but as the risk is prevalent the reward is equally great. Stock market is slightly less risky if you see on daily weekly basis but obviously then the return is also a bit less on the investments. But seriously both are for absolutely different types of people, a person who doesn't want that much risk cannot really invest in crypto market.

I suggest trading and investing with bitcoins instead of trading and investing in the stock market.
But it will all come back to your interests because if you are more interested in trading in the stock market, you will choose it.
And if there is a comparison between short and long-term earnings, it will depend on how good you are at trading in bitcoin or the stock market.
You can make a short-term or long-term profit if you have good skills, even in bitcoin and the stock market.

The choice between the two will depend on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. 

Trading on bitcoin involves buying and selling the cryptocurrency in the short-term, with the goal of making a profit from price fluctuations. This can be a high-risk, high-reward strategy, as the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile. Trading requires a good understanding of technical analysis, market sentiment and news.


investing in the stock market typically involves buying shares in companies with the goal of holding them for the long-term and reaping the benefits of dividends and capital appreciation. The stock market tends to be less volatile than the cryptocurrency market, but it is also subject to market fluctuations. Investing in the stock market requires a good understanding of companies, industries and macroeconomic factors.

Both options have their own pros and cons, and the best choice will depend on your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.

I will say this - here it is better to build on the experience and skills of work.

This should be the first goal of OP before asking any question on whatsoever he/she wants because it depends on what skills or market OP would like to be trading. Experience will tell everything on what you are good plus knowing all the risk that you know you can handle on your own that would make a great achievement.

Trading isn't just an easy thing that you can ask someone here but if you just want some ideas then most of the answers OP will get will be "learn how to trade properly first while knowing how to minimize the risk of losing" that is inevitable to happen to every traders.

Asking wont really be a bad thing on which you are the ones who would really be able to know on what are the things that you would really be able to realize along the way.This isnt something that you could ask out

someones ideas and personal experiences to give you out some hint or preview on what it would looks like but honestly, you are the ones who would really be able to discover on what are the things that would really fit
out into you because not all people does have the same tolerance when it comes to these kind of things which is something you are the ones who would really be needing to discover.
Investing choice would depend or matter into you because its your money so its your own full decision on whatever it would be.

There are several advantages for those which decide to choose cryptocurrencies over stocks, to begin with the capital that you need is many times smaller, and if you have small savings this is critical as the stock market requires that you already have a lot of capital, the volatility is another aspect in favor of this market, after all if the price does not move up or down then how are you going to make any money? We need for the market to move and cryptocurrencies move way more than stocks.

That is why I like investing in crypto because it doesn't require big capital and we can start investing whenever we want.
Meanwhile, if you want to start with the stock market, you must provide a large amount of capital because my friend once offered me to try playing in stocks.
With the crypto market constantly moving, it will give us the opportunity to make a profit so that the capital we use can be bigger.
But whatever it is, we must really study our options so that we have the opportunity to profit.

Short-term return on investment (6 months)
S&P 500 ROI since Aug 2022: -5%
Bitcoin ROI since Aug 2022: -25%

Long-term return on investment ( 3 years comparison)
Bitcoin ROI since Jan 2020: 78%
S&P 500 ROI since Jan 2020: 17%

In the short term bitcoin is more volatile than any other asset. While in long term there is no match with bitcoin's ROI.

Both markets have their pros and cons, if you want to be safe and less volatile, then stocks are the choice, and if you like to take risks but have a chance to make bigger profits, then cryptocurrency is the choice. I've been into both markets and can't say which is better, it's up to you. Like I like risk and volatility, so I choose cryptocurrencies and my friends don't like risk, they choose stocks. Long term or short term, I still lean more towards bitcoin, because in the long term bitcoin growth is very impressive.

Yes, it all comes back, depending on which one we prefer,
and if you haven't had both I think it's better to do some research and it's very important,
the most important thing is don't just rely on suggestions from other people because it doesn't necessarily match what we want.

Well, it's depending on the person's comfort tho, but for me of course it's trading/investing in crypto rather than investing in a stock. Because with crypto it's really easy to use I don't need to do complicated things because I want to investing or trade in stocks. If we talk about long-term earning bitcoin can win with that but I don't know about other coins like many altcoins out there since we don't know if they can keep alive for more than 5 or 10 years from now.

People have their own preferences but both of it is still having the same purpose we use them to earn profit or money. I haven't tried stock but it is safer than forex and also crypto as long as you have knowledge of the company you are buying shares and less volatile unless there is big news coming up on their company. Bitcoin is really attractive because of its price, which is why a lot of new people mostly Gen Z are jumping to bitcoin and crypto because of the price the is huge.

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.

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.
