Real estate vs cryptocurrencies vs business

[Tony116]

Most people always say real estate is very safe, but they forget if there are mafias which create a fake certificate or use your land for their own benefit. Don't forget there are robbery who want to steal anything especially in empty building which is safer than someone else house.

Making sure the title of the property you are going to buy is clean and selecting the best location that's conducive are basic things for real estate investors. You don't just put money on a building that's in the hood or other areas infested by gangs and criminals.

This is the burden when it comes to real estate investment since fake documents will surely be a big problem and the location as well.
Though despite of these cons on investing in real estate I still see this as the most efficient investment and most safe compare to the two.

Crypto is good too as part of your diversification strategy, but when it comes to doing business, I think this is only ok if you have enough time to monitor and handle it, business is a lifetime commitment as well, and you work here 24/7 as the owner not unless you already established a solid team to handle it.

To be fair, real estate is not entirely safe or will certainly yield returns without risk. But when comparing all 3 properties that OP mentioned, it must be admitted that it is the safest. Honestly, many of us don't choose real estate because it takes a lot of money to get started, not because we don't want to. Those who say they don't like real estate are lying and don't have enough money.

I would also choose crypto because as I said, I don't have too much money to get started with real estate and crypto suits me better. But if I had the money OP mentioned, I would prioritize building a business first to generate passive income. Then investing in crypto and real estate will be the next thing.

[khiholangkang]

The three options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the fundamental understanding is that the three have different levels of risk, to decide this must be based on the knowledge and ability of each managing finances to get benefits from it, if someone understands real esatate and good at playing in This field is like not relying on profits from just rent, but buying and selling or has other ways to get more profits.

Both use the money in investing in Crypto, this is indeed tempting and has a chance of profit and folding profits, but if someone is not good at using the market, this is useless, he will definitely eat losses.
In doing business the same, the name of the risk must exist, and this is also a large potential loss and becomes bankrupt, although it can exceed the benefits of crypto or real estate and can have a longer and longer active profit, but it is not easy to build a business and maintain it and maintain it .

For me personally for this position is that I will enter it into the crypto industry, some I invest in bitcoin and some more I make them work like a liquidity provider or coin staking that have high technology utilities such as Ethereum and get rewards, and many more of my ideas In the Crypto industry, honestly this is based on each other's knowledge and experience, where you understand an industry, where you have to exert your ability to increase your income.

[robelneo]

Let's imagine that you have half a million US-Dollar/Euro/GBP and want to feel financially safe and build a better future.
....

Which one would you choose from these and why?

I'm already into Cryptocurrency I know so many things here I'm not a businessman I cannot set up a new business and I cannot learn to run a business overnight it takes years to do that or a realtor or into real estate to know the potential value of the real estate in the future, so if I have that amount I'll go where I can make a good decision to make a profit and that is buying or should I say adding more coins to my portfolio.
When you have the money go where your heart is and where your passion is and you will never fail in your venture.

You're right that the main problem with not many choosing real estate is that it requires more money than investing in anything else. And I think actually we all want Real estate too. It's just that our level of financial ability determines whether we can enter real estate or not. If we are not financially mature enough then of course entering Real Estate is not easy to do.

But even if I have a lot of money like what the OP said, I will personally prioritize Real Estate and build property on the land that I bought and turn it into a future business. like building a rented house or apartment on the land I bought. So that I can get income from renting out property later.

This is the burden when it comes to real estate investment since fake documents will surely be a big problem and the location as well.
Though despite of these cons on investing in real estate I still see this as the most efficient investment and most safe compare to the two.

The remaining efficiency in real estate investing is due to the problem of fake documents and their locations can still be seen and monitored specifically before someone puts money into them. Because in my opinion as long as these two things can still be seen with the naked eye and can still be solved in any way, it means that this is not a big problem even though it can also be considered a very serious matter.

Crypto is good too as part of your diversification strategy, but when it comes to doing business, I think this is only ok if you have enough time to monitor and handle it, business is a lifetime commitment as well, and you work here 24/7 as the owner not unless you already established a solid team to handle it.

Crypto and business are also things that should not be forgotten because both of them can still provide opportunities to make profits with a certain deadline. So that I personally would also choose these two things when I had the ability to run them, because I took the initiative to open my own business when I was successful through crypto investment.

[sunsilk]

I will spread that half mil in all of them. Real estate and have my airbnb's rented and at the same time rental properties as well.

As for crypto, I'll try to make my own farm with a solar panel on it. Despite that I have been here for quite a while, I haven't owned yet a mining farm and that's why I'll buy ASICS with that.

And for a business, maybe I'll do something like dropshipping business and will get into it or any other business that I may be interested with. This is an actual diversification that everyone has to have.

[bussybuddy]

One factor that can affect success is age. It affects how we deal with new opportunities, because over time new ideas can become more important than what already exists.

Starting a business is a brave and visionary decision, but as you mentioned, it is not always successful. Sometimes, failures can have many different causes, and learning from mistakes is an important part of growing a business.

Regarding cryptocurrency investing, you are right about the amount of risk it carries. It is good that you insist on not investing a large amount of money in it without having a deep understanding of this market.

Real estate has the potential to be profitable and increase in value over time. This has been proven over the decades and is a stable investment option.

Well at least you have idea when you invest on these three, but if I were going to invest. Maybe I will start with a little first on these three as alternate investment. For crypto I would just buy some BTC and would hodl them and for the business, maybe a little catering would do good but I'm not really good at cooking but my wife so I could just do the labor to help her and assist her. As for the real state, we also have the same interest with rental air bnb. Because here in the PH, it's popular to have rental places especially to the tourist spot. You could earn almost $1000 in just few months but of course just minus the needs for the air bnb. That is my main investment but for now, I would focus on crypto since I'm too busy to handle work plus havinga business.

[GigaBit]

I will first advise for cryptocurrency and bitcoin will be my recommendation for someone interested to invest or make new opportunities from this decentralized digital currency, because it has the higher potentials to profitabilities and we can also have the desired control and privacy in it unlike others found to be lower to this standard with bitcoin, i can also advise people to venture into real estate and then do business as the case may be in other of preference.

The first thing we need to consider when investing in real estate or cryptocurrency that is depend on the investor's financial status and risk tolerance. It also depends on the current market situation. It should be remembered that any investment is risky but there is a need to take a decision considering the benefits and risks. Generally, in real estate business the investor has to invest a large amount of money which is risky but it is sustainable. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies are also riskier and if you don't invest in a suitable platform, there is a high chance of loss. However, due to the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, investing a small amount of assets has the potential for high returns, so an investor can earn good profits with much less investment than in comparable real estate businesses. An entrepreneur has to face various problems while running a real estate business but investing in crypto is relatively easy.

[marcous]

For me personally, I would sort it like this:

1. The reason for real estate is opportunity, yes where I live it is still a good prospect, on the other hand the price of land and materials for construction is still affordable.

2. My business places it at number two on the grounds that I have little personal experience in running a business, even though my business is small capital.

3. Cryptocurrency, personally I have not been able to control my emotions. This means that the price fluctuates up and down will definitely make me dizzy. Moreover, do not have a mentor who can teach on an ongoing basis.

Maybe that's all from my personal point of view.

[molsewid]

Real estate business is not bad at all actually most people who learns real estate and manage their properties well become millionaire, we shouldn't compare  real estate and crypto because they are not in the same thing. But the thing is, what similar to both of these investments? if you didn't do some homework, some research, some analysis you will lost a money. Both are risky, but crypto is riskier.

[Raflesia]

Most people always say real estate is very safe, but they forget if there are mafias which create a fake certificate or use your land for their own benefit. Don't forget there are robbery who want to steal anything especially in empty building which is safer than someone else house.

Making sure the title of the property you are going to buy is clean and selecting the best location that's conducive are basic things for real estate investors. You don't just put money on a building that's in the hood or other areas infested by gangs and criminals.

But on the other hand when saying the basic thing isn't this also the same as being in crypto because of course to start investing then we need some things that we have to learn and look at from the beginning because it is our capital to be there (apart from the money we have) so as not to experience losses.
Being in Real Estate is not just limited to buying a building and waiting a few years for higher offers and it is the same as being in crypto because we cannot just buy coins randomly and wait until the price goes up. Everything needs to be learnt so when we focus on one of the areas that the OP mentioned in the title (Business, Crypto and Real Estate) then we have to do it right so that the choice we make in the end is not wrong.

When it comes to discussions on making an investment, we should always know that risk will be involved either we like it or not, we cannot be deceiving ourselves in some matters that needs to be iron out, cryptocurrency have risk but that's where we are investing on other cryptocurrencies aside bitcoin, memecoins and memetokens should not be regarded as an investment, they are the ones that gives the name cryptocurrency being a risk investment but the people will not talk about bitcoin being the most secured crypto investment.

[ChiBitCTy]

It all depends on where I live.  There are certain parts of the world where renting is actually a smarter financial move than buying.  That said I would diversify my assets.  Buying a home certainly doesn't mean that you've got to have it all paid off right away.  Fund your finance portfolio (which includes buying bitcoin), buy a house and put down a big down payment.  These would be the wise things to do.

[Hamphser]

Let's imagine that you have half a million US-Dollar/Euro/GBP and want to feel financially safe and build a better future.
1. Real estate - It's probably one of the safest investment option out there. Inflation rises, rent and apartment prices rise too, if inflation turns into deflation, your rent/apartment price still remains the same. With half a million, you can buy two or more good apartments in eastern Europe and live on your rent income.

2. Cryptocurrencies are very volatile but rewarding. If you have a discipline and don't let your emotions take control over your decisions, then you can probably grow your capital by 200-500% a year. At least I think so, I think that's possible if one spends most of his time on exchanges and if necessary, spends some nights. So, crypto is very volatile and rewarding but another problem here is that you are dependent on exchanges, what will you do if they don't let you withdraw? Another problem is that you have to take care of your coins because once they are gone, they are gone forever.

3. Business - It's like an income generated by Proof Of Work algorithm. Depends on the business and the person, one can achieve a huge financial success and influence or a total failure. But a big and successful business can outperform real estate and crypto investments. To my mind, proof of work is the only thing that can deal with absolutely any kind of financial crisis and disasters.

Which one would you choose from these and why?
P.S. Spam will not be tolerated, that's why I open self-moderated thread. You post spammy, meaningless post and I'll immediately remove it! Don't ever try to do that here!

$500k would really be divided on these things

$100k for making out some apartment and would generating some income or monthly
$100k Building up a business like piggery or other farming venture
$100k Investment with Bitcoin and some altcoins
$100k for buying mining rigs on mining crypto
$100k for Savings and possible expenses out of these different ventures

You would definitely be able to take advantage if you do just know on how to allocate these funds for you to be able to take advantage.
You cant really make yourself that would be able to progress if you arent minding about possible or multiple sources of income.
Diversification would be always best.

[sunsilk]

I will spread that half mil in all of them. Real estate and have my airbnb's rented and at the same time rental properties as well.

That is my main investment but for now, I would focus on crypto since I'm too busy to handle work plus havinga business.

That's necessary to at least have the idea when you're going to diversify your money. Not just with crypto but also in other sectors where you think that suits your risk appetite and investing techniques.

No doubt with rental properties, it's a universal investment where the property appreciates in value and if you want to rent it out, you'll also get passive income.

So, it's a win win investment for someone who wants to retain his wealth and at the same time have its valuation go high and also earn from it passively.

[benalexis12]

If you have the ability to buy investment lots in real estate, it's better to prioritize it because it's sure that the value will not decrease instead it get higher after 5 years, the capital you used here will grow a lot, and the second thing I want is Cryptocurrency if which Bitcoin is the best to choose to buy and hold until the bull run so that you will not be left behind that you have it and 3rd is the business that is good to establish that you will manage as long as you know what passion business you want and don't you just thought or copied to others.

[Betwrong]

Let's imagine that you have half a million US-Dollar/Euro/GBP and want to feel financially safe and build a better future.
1. Real estate - ~

2. Cryptocurrencies ~

3. Business - ~

Which one would you choose from these and why?

Real estate isn't necessarily a safe investment. Firstly, you need a lot of money for that. Few people can afford investing half a million. Secondly, and there are many examples of that, an apartment you buy today for $250k can cost half of that in 5 years.

Business, again, requires a lot of money. And, as we all know, it's even harder to profit from it than from real estate. And if you are hard working, smart and lucky and thus managed to open a profitable business, in many places in the world it means only more problems and threat to your freedom and life.

What's left is cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin. There's a high probability that BTC will surpass its previous ATH, $69k, in a year or earlier. If I had spare money, I'd invested it in BTC. But only spare money, without which I could live the next 2-3 years. And, of course, it's not a financial advice.

[Abu-Naim]

Half a million will actually go far irrespective of your location and your choice in any of these three mentioned investments.

1. Real estate - It's probably one of the safest investment option out there. Inflation rises, rent and apartment prices rise too, if inflation turns into deflation, your rent/apartment price still remains the same. With half a million, you can buy two or more good apartments in eastern Europe and live on your rent income.

Real estate is one safest investment that exists because it has less risk associated with it and have a future benefit when properly managed. As you mentioned inflation, people that are already into real estate are gaining massively because the cost of renting an apartment is becoming high due to inflation and maintenance costs, going for Real estate will be good for but requires time before one have profit from the investment.

2. Cryptocurrencies are very volatile but rewarding. If you have a discipline and don't let your emotions take control over your decisions, then you can probably grow your capital by 200-500% a year. At least I think so, I think that's possible if one spends most of his time on exchanges and if necessary, spends some nights. So, crypto is very volatile and rewarding but another problem here is that you are dependent on exchanges, what will you do if they don't let you withdraw? Another problem is that you have to take care of your coins because once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Crypto investment is profitable but very risky especially if you want trade and don't have the basic knowledge to trade crypto.

I consider buying and holding BTC for a while, it is safer than investing on any coin in an exchange because of the risk of centralization.

3. Business - It's like an income generated by Proof Of Work algorithm. Depends on the business and the person, one can achieve a huge financial success and influence or a total failure. But a big and successful business can outperform real estate and crypto investments. To my mind, proof of work is the only thing that can deal with absolutely any kind of financial crisis and disasters.

Business is safer amongst these three but depending on the type of business because there is risk associated with everything. Since you can diversify your money into different aspect of business, you stand the chance making profit in any of the business you started running and the profit will keep the business growing.

Which one would you choose from these and why?

I will choose business not because it is lower risk than the other two, but because it has a quick return on investment.

Because of inflation and rising living costs, businesses will be easier to generate profit. Due to how expensive everything is becoming, having a good business will keep you busy and provide you with a steady income, unlike to cryptocurrency investment, where the bitcoin market condition will determine when to become profitable, whereas real estate will require you to wait for a certain period of time before you make a profit.

But only spare money, without which I could live the next 2-3 years. And, of course, it's not a financial advice.

In short, bitcoin is the best choice when comparing all 3 because we are on a bitcoin forum  .
And if evaluated fairly and frankly, all 3 are potential areas and can bring good profits for us, as long as we know how to make the best use of it. Many billionaires, many rich people out there they don't own bitcoin, they get rich through real estate, through business... so real estate and business are also very potential. But as you said, since they require a large amount of capital to get started, bitcoin is still the more perfect choice for retail investors like us.
