Crypto or Real estate

[Nheer]

Real estate is the real deal in my country, I don't know about other places, but in my country it is the investment that is growing the fastest right now and in a few years it will double the value of your investment. They both have the potential to produce high returns, but for the time being I am all in on cryptocurrencies because I am not financially stable enough to invest in real estate. In addition, I can easily sell my bitcoin if I am in desperate need of money. Real estate investment needs an enormous initial commitment, making it difficult for those who lack sufficient financial means to get started.  They are both similar to me, but real estate doesn't lose value as quickly as bitcoin does due to its volatility, and trading bitcoin is simpler and less expensive.

Both are great investments and have their benefits, but for the time being I prefer bitcoin investments, however I will consider real estate in the future.

I am trying to look if someone has already mentioned that there's already a thread about it but, it seems that no one has pointed that out.
@OP, there's a duplicate thread already from the same topic of what you've made and that's this topic[1].

[1] Real estate vs cryptocurrencies vs business

[spectre71]

Well you can rent or lease property for cash flow. It would be safer to borrow against real property vs bitcoin.

Real estate US is about to tank at about the time BTC should boom.. I would take some profits and cement it in real estate.. Just my opinion

[yhiaali3]

Personally I prefer cryptocurrency over real estate.

Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, is safer and more profitable in the long run. You can also start with a small capital that you can expand in the long run, unlike real estate, which needs large capital from the beginning.

Working in cryptocurrencies is much easier and cross-border, and you can work from home via the Internet. As for real estate, you need experience in certain matters such as construction, legal transactions related to real estate, and conducting many legal transactions that may be complex and take a lot of time in some countries.

In the end, both options are good and profitable, but every person has a different nature. Some may prefer cryptocurrencies and others may prefer real estate.

Cryptocurrency:
 Cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that not controlled by any government or any central authority.
In crypto, there is a high rate of return as compared to the real-estate. Cryptocurrency is decentralized (not controlled by any authority or any government). In crypto, u can trade at any time according to the condition of the market you can trade for a long or short period of time. As you wish. But in crypto, the price can swing at any time because any good or bad news is able to change the game.
Real-estate:
Real estate investors are those who purchase property to make profit. They buy residential, commercial or invest through funds. They make money when the value of the money over time increases.  Real estate provides us with a physical asset that can provide us security and stability as compared to cryptocurrency. Real estate property has high potential as compared to crypto to increase its value after a period of time.

You mentioned crypto in general, but if you mentioned bitcoin specifically then maybe you would get a different response.
I changed crypto to bitcoin, meaning that it is bitcoin that deserves to be called an asset that is not controlled by any government or authority. Bitcoin and real estate are great to be a store of value for your assets but right now I tend to prefer bitcoin over real estate given the potential.

The volatility of these two store of value assets is different, after all, they are also different. Bitcoin has no physical properties, but has uses, while the real estate you are referring to also has risks that you cannot avoid. It all depends on how you assess the two assets and how your risk tolerance is so that you may disagree with some assumptions and choose to agree with different assumptions.

Which one do you prefer?

Bitcoin.

I have come across of this kind of thread severally and we have already discussed so many things concerning this of issue in this forum, but nevertheless I will give my own point of view concerning real estate management business and cryptocurrency investment, i know quite well that well any kind of investment you venture into and for you to propagate in such business it needs curiosity and consciousness, real estate business is a kind of business that is very lucrative and you may be lucky enough to make triple of your capital used for the investment, while in cryptocurrency it's matter of measure and monitor and also concentration because if you understand the rudiments of cryptocurrency especially in Bitcoin investment, theirs every tendency that you will make profit than someone who is into real estate management business.

[Humblevirus]

They both make good investments, and when you put a decent amount of money into them, you may make a lot of money. In all seriousness though, given the enormous earnings, I would much rather invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin than in real estate toa my understanding currently. The history of Bitcoin indicates that over time, it has proven to be a financial investment that yields significantly greater returns than real estate.some cryptocurrency investors has urged us to only invest what we can afford to lose due to Bitcoin nature volatile, thus if it is possible, I would love to invest in both sides to reduce my risk.

[CryptSafe]

Both investment can not be overlooked as they are of huge profit when embarked upon. They both need funds to stat with and this should be the major focus for which i expected good responses from. Going into real estate business, one would need a huge capital investment and lots of procedures involved which would cost time, stress, government approval etc to start up with considering the fact that if  the funds are borrowed, you would definitely need to repay till you clear your debt but bitcoin is not like that. Bitcoin does not require you getting involved with huge capitals. You can buy and hold based on your investment capacity. No stress, no delay, you do not need anybody's approval to invest in bitcoin. You invests as it pleases you and come to talk of it, it is a decentralized system where you have view or custody over your assets.

Lastly, bitcoin is mobile while real estate is not mobile which means that one can move about with their bitcoin asset all round the world without anybody's notice which paves way for the "border less transaction"but you cannot  do that with real estate. I think this is the real big difference between the both investment.

Which one do you prefer?

It does not always have to be the choice of one over the other. They are both good investments and is encouraged for anyone who has enough capital to put into both of them to do so. Bitcoin is good, so also is real estate, and if you have enough to put into two of them, you will not regret it.  Investment in bitcoins is good and easier because you can invest any amount you have at hand, unlike real estate where you have to have a good amount of capital before you can invest.

Bitcoin offers  better opportunity for people from different financial class to invest, not real estate.

[Mpamaegbu]

Which one do you prefer?

Before you take answers and suggestions posted here literally to mean investment advice, just remember that in both you can make money as well as make losses. For those who think that investment in the real estate sector is a guaranteed profit earner they should've a rethink. I often hear people say land doesn't depreciate but I beg to differ. It's not always the case that one can resale what they've bought higher than they've bought it. Take for instance one buys a piece of land in an area that later got entangled with communal disputes. Well I leave you to paint a picture with your imagination of what the situation will be. For me, I think it will make much sense to invest in both.

[panganib999]

I don't think this kind of comparison is fair. Real estate caters to a different type of investor, and so does crypto. If you want instant gratification (relatively cause at the very least in crypto you get faster turnups to your profit) you go for crypto. If you want to get paid in dividends and consistently you can choose real estate. besides, you can also choose both these ventures at the same time and I would actually recommend investing in both these ventures, diversify your assets basically.

I wouldn't say I prefer both, but if I were forced to take a choice between the two, crypto will be it.

[bayu7adi]

If asked to choose, it's quite evident that this question is tailored for someone of affluence. Wealthy individuals have the luxury to decide between cryptocurrency and real estate. Meanwhile, those in the lower to middle-income brackets may have the option of cryptocurrency alone.

In my current circumstances, if I were compelled to make a choice, cryptocurrency is clearly the path I'd take. This aligns with both my financial capacity and my knowledge base. I haven't delved into the intricacies of real estate business methods, so diving in without any foundational knowledge would carry inherent risks, even though it's touted as a relatively stable asset amidst market volatility.

Bitcoin makes more sense for me at this point, and when I reach a level akin to a real estate entrepreneur, it's highly likely that I would venture into learning the ropes of the real estate business first, particularly honing my negotiation skills, which are currently less developed.

By the way, this topic isn't all that different from other topics : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462387

[Juse14]

This thread is quite similar to this topic or can be said to have a correlation with each other in its discussion, although there is no discussion of the last point, namely "business".
But I want to convey my opinion for these two categories which are related to financial condition and age, for today, for me who doesn't have a lot of money, I'd rather invest in crytpo, I quite understand the opportunities that bitcoin will provide to its owners. in the next two years and also my young age, which is driven by my volatile ambition and I also still have a lot of time to cover my failures if I fail to invest in bitcoin.

If I'm old, I definitely won't have enough time to wait for my investment to make a profit from Bitcoin, especially if I invest in Bitcoin using Bitcoin's cycle count, it will take a long time to get the profit, so I will switch to some real estate assets to reap passive profits. from rental.

I acknowledge your viewpoint on cryptocurrency suiting your current circumstances. From a financial standpoint, it does provide easier entry points than real estate. The blockchain technology underpinning Bitcoin offers transparency and security, which isnt always guaranteed in the real estate sector, especially for those unfamiliar with its intricacies.

However, remember: each asset class carries its own set of risks and rewards. Diversifying your investment portfolio is a widely recommended strategy, even in the realm of cryptocurrencies. Thus, while Bitcoin might seem like a logical choice now, expanding your horizon beyond - perhaps considering a fraction of your assets in real estate in the future - would mitigate risks. Despite the ebb and flow of Bitcoin's value, your acknowledgment of the need for negotiation skills in real estate suggests a wise, future-oriented thinking process.

[kryptqnick]

A big point about crypto vs real estate to me is about accessibility of it to people that have various funds at their disposal. A person can experiment with cryptos even with a very limited amount of money. Whether it makes sense to invest, say, $10 (because even if the profits are very high, it'll be a very small amount of money anyway) is another matter. But at least there's an option, a way to try. With real estate, I feel like lots of people are excluded because of a high financial threshold. Real estate also has additional risks related to it being in physical space. I think cryptos are more convenient, more accessible, and potentially more profitable.

Lol, are you for real? After writing all this the best you can do is to ask us to choose between crypto and real estate? Well, both of them are good investment opportunities but they are not the same and shouldn't be compared together. Can you invest $50 in real estate? I bet you can't because the amount is really small and laughable, but you could invest same amount or less in cryptocurrency and make quite a fortune with it.

Like I said both real estate and cryptocurrency are good investment, but real estate is for a selected few that have the financial capabilities to invest in properties, but cryptocurrency is for everyone, irrespective of your financial strengths.

[Crypt0Gore]

At the end of the day, Bitcoin investment is 10 times better than Real Estate and Stock, because with Bitcoin we are still all early, some people are currently worried about buying Bitcoin now because they think the price is very high but they don't know bitcoin is limited and the adoption is still very small too, there is still better chances that Bitcoin will grow higher in value than it is right now.

Real estate is profitable but not as profitable as buying and holding Bitcoin, and to reap a good amount of profits from Real Estate takes a long time, the investment is also very high if you plan on making a good amount of money, I still feel like Real Estate investment is good for the rich but Bitcoin just gives opportunity to the lower classes who doesn't have a lot of money.

I still believe this is part of why the government isn't going to be happy with crypto in general, So many people are making a lot of life-changing money, it's something the government never wanted for the people, been poor favors them, It's the painful truth about the government and its people.

Don't be deceived or don't mix things up. It is not all cryptocurrency that is decentralized. It is only bitcoin that is 100% decentralized. Many of the altcoins are centralized and even the ones that claim they are decentralized still has some level of centralization in them. So be guided.
As of the question in OP?
You are not bound to chose between Crypto and Real Estate, you can chose both and divide your portfolio to fit both.

For real estate investment one need big amount but anyone can start investment from $1 in bitcoin. And returns of profits are faster from Bitcoin than from real estate.  But real estate is considered the best investment by older people because they don't know much about Bitcoin.  They have a negative perception of Bitcoin.  However, young people are more vulnerable to Bitcoin than real estate and consider Bitcoin investment as a potential investment rather than real estate.

Which one do you prefer?

My first choice will be to own my house because it is currently a need. The cost of paying rent affects my finances, so having a house will reduce the financial burden of rent. When it comes to investment, I will choose Bitcoin over real estate. Real estate involves house maintenance and tax and sometimes tenants might not pay rents when due. But in Bitcoin investment, you just need a wallet and ensure you keep it safe. The returns from bitcoin are higher than the profit from real estate in my country.

but on the other side that's also possible, The government banned cryptocurrency to remove corruption from the country because it's easy to store black money and no one knows about that. 99 years is a long time who cares about it because no one knows what will happen to him in future?

The assumption that it is easy to keep or hide money from crime in bitcoin is untrue. In fact, it is easier to hide cash from the authorities than bitcoin. It is difficult to track cash payments but bitcoin transaction is in the public domain. Secondly, the government cannot totally restrict people from using Bitcoin due to its decentralized nature.
