Would you rather make your investments in FIAT or CRYPTO?

[philipma1957]

The crypto market has an high level of volatility, anyone who is about to make an investment need to have a good understanding of the volatile market. Now the question is even with the volatility will you still choose crypto over fiat when it comes to making investments?

Both.

And a few more things.

REAL ESTATE

Also some cash

Notice no stocks.

I do not believe in a single way to invest.

So a bit of all that is above.

Currently one of the problems of people right now is inflation, if you make an investment in the banks or the fiat currency the price of your asset might get lower due to it, in cryptocurrency you are getting a ride with the market volatility, and your asset has a chance to gain profit or to lose depends on the price action movement, still an ideal move is to invest in asset that possibly giving a good cashflow so you don't need to get worried with your fiat or even in crypto. Only the time frame, price and the risk matters here.

Did you mean you rather have an establishment where your many is working regularly to generate profit? Crypto investment is one of the best alternatives though. Mostly when the volatility is on the advantage side it’s definitely going to bring huge profits.

Most of crypto is too fragile for long term investment — hacks, scams, volatility and also require individual ability to secure funds.

However, returns are greater in crypto, if one wants to make good amount of money in short time, crypto is the way but do your due diligence and stay away from shady part where scams lie.

Actually this can still be applied to banks (of course fake ones) except for the volatility. Since we were in the era of the internet and technology, some banks are open to digital banks where you can save and invest at home which is prone from hacking and scamming. Even a simple text from your phone where there's a link that once you click, it could gather all the data from your phone which can drained up your funds. Also I have seen some cases where fake banks are scamming uneducated people to financial and senior citizen by encouraging them to use their banks, but shortly they would just run with bags of money from the people. But yeah, crypto is much riskier since its decentralized, all of your moves and decisions might affect your funds unlike to centralized system wheren they can secure your funds safety.

Why choose? There's no such thing as "rather" where in the first place we can take advantage of both.

It depends on how far you understand the risks if you tend to choose either fiat or crypto. There's no easy road to success. Dealing with the volatility is the challenge in crypto. While in fiat, dealing with inflation should be the priority.

Like any other investment, it should be well-planned from the start, and understanding the basics is necessary before engaging.

You seems to understand the point, volatility is what the crypto investors deal with while inflation is what people who have fiat investments in banks deals it. Although I guess the volatility in the crypto space can still work either in your favour or against you. Crypto seems to have more profit talking base on my own personal investments in crypto up till date. That’s the reason why I will advice anyone to DYOR but choose crypto.

Fiat as an investment? I can't really imagine how will it work because when we say investment, it's about earning huge for the long term but fiat is much stable than the crypto. Maybe there are small fluctuations sometimes but it's like they have a fix limit on how much they can gain. They can always recover to $1 if we use US Dollar as an example. If we are talkin about trading, maybe it doesn't look bad at all.

This is why there are forex trading, but I never heard of forex investment. I don't think volatility is that hard to understand but there is more than it like controlling an emotion, that one should learn and master in order to be victorious on this field.

Where you choose to invest your money should be determine by time factor or when to use it. I think the money you can keep in bitcoin is a money that is not needed urgently because if it's a money that needs to be used in a short time, you might run at lost or gain but more secure in USDT because it's stable. Investing in crypto is like gambling your money. If paraventure this money you gained $250 in an investment of $1500 was vise versa you lost $250 out of $1500, what would have been your perspective on bitcoin? So different people have different experience on bitcoin investment so your happy story might be a sad one to another. That is why we always say that Bitcoin investment should always be a long term investment in other not to Lost your fund.

You are right, the sentiments and emotions of humans change about a thing, whether that is a loss or a profit. If BTC made me $250+ profit, I am happy; otherwise, I would not be, but as you said, it all depends on the investment plan, and mine was to hold my funds till 2025 or the next ATH (of course I don't know when the next ATH will be, but at least I can be prepared for it). And about using money in the short term, BTC can be used for short-term purposes, but that is not how things work. If you have $1500 in BTC, it does not mean that you have no other funds in fiat. That's why you should not keep all your savings or capital in one form.

I have said so many times that emergency funds are necessary, even if you think the situation is not bad. You still have to keep some funds in case of an emergency. Investing in crypto is not like gambling, and I did not gamble my money. If I had gambled, then I would not have said that ATH is coming, and it will come till 2025, because in gambling we cannot do analysis like we can in crypto investment (holding or trading).

Making investments in crypto or fiat? Or using crypto or fiat for other investments? These are two different scenarios, in the first one, you buy a certain cryptocurrency or save money in a certain fiat currency hoping for its value to increase over time against your local currency so that you can get some profit. The second one is using either cryptocurrencies or fiat for making investments in something else, like a business or something, that will generate revenue for you.

For the first scenario, I believe cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, would probably be a better choice since it's volatile and its value tends to go up from time to time and drop as well, but it eventually generates some profits for you. For the second part, I believe it's better to simply use fiat to invest in a business or something, also because cryptocurrencies can't be invested directly as they aren't widely accepted.

You have to provide more details about what you mean by cryptocurrency. Like are you comparing between Usd and BTC or USD and Doge? Because this section is only concerns about BTC not about doge or any other token.

Besides this, I will prefer to invest in BTC instead of investing in fiat. Because my friend earned $1500 and I earned $1500 few months back, he kept them in fiat I kept them in the form of BTC and now I made around $250 plus on my $1500 amount and he is not. I hope you got the answer.

Investment in bitcoin is simply profitable than fiat currency where you have to battle with inflation drilling down the value of your fiat investment or savings unlike bitcoin that's resistant to inflation and even with the volatility it has if you know what you're doing you can always take advantage of the volatility whenever there's a dip to DCA and make profit when the price rises.  We are likely to make a huge success faster based on our knowledge about bitcoin and the market, knowing when to buy, having a good management risk and staying unshakable even when FUD arises as these a just the few challenges we're likely to encounter as bitcoin holders.

It all depends on where we plan to invest our money. There are many nitch we can invest money that would bring good profits for us just like the way we can invest in cryptocurrency and make a lot of profits. Cryptocurrency investment need one to understand the market before investing our fund because the market is very risky and if we make the mistake of investing our funds in the wrong coin, we can end up making loses due to our mistakes. Crypto invest need concentration and good understanding on how the market works which will guide us on how to say safe in the market.

And huge losses.
Crypto trading is similar to any other forex trade. Leverage goes both ways.
You want to invest and loose all go ahead.

If you invest with loses in mind you need to go the road of real estate, Metals, etc..

[johnsaributua]

If the primary needs still use fiat including investment should be easier fiat, but if investment and aware of the potential of bitcoin of course this is an important part while keeping up with the times, the digital age makes it easy to store with bitcoin and convert to any digital and local currency, the ups and downs of prices I consider it the art of buying and selling or franchising in real business, it makes sense according to, I chose these 2 currencies even though they are physically different but their usefulness is the same even though they have advantages in their respective liquidity. complete investment instrument and tools future economy.

Your clear separation of direct crypto purchases from using crypto as a way to invest in other things is perfect. Let us make this clearer. Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and some others have seen huge gains over time, making them look like an investor's dream. Despite this, it is important to be aware of the risks, especially since the market is based on speculation. Some people see volatility as a sign of chance, but its also deceptive. Its common for big benefits to come with big risks. One idea is to diversify your assets.

And finally, using fiat currency to start traditional businesses gives you more cash and, well, fewer problems. The cryptocurrency ecosystem isnt developed enough for businesses to spend easily. To top it all off, the rules and regulations in many countries make it even harder to access. Sorting through those murky waters is almost like a pointless activity. While you're thinking about starting a business, stick with cash for now. Its generally believed for a reason.

Investing in cryptocurrencies, despite their inherent volatility, offers unique advantages in today's financial landscape. While the traditional fiat system is stable, it often struggles to keep pace with rapidly changing economic realities. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, have shown tremendous potential for growth and innovation.

Crypto investments have the potential for substantial gains, outstripping traditional financial instruments. The decentralization of cryptocurrencies reduces the control of central authorities, making them less susceptible to manipulation and inflation.

Moreover, cryptocurrencies can provide accessibility to financial services for the unbanked and underbanked, fostering financial inclusion globally. Blockchain technology, the backbone of most cryptocurrencies, offers transparency and security, mitigating fraud and enhancing trust.

Though the crypto market is volatile, it rewards those who research and diversify their portfolios wisely. Consider your risk tolerance and invest responsibly. Cryptocurrencies offer the potential for significant returns, but due diligence and a long-term perspective are key. Ultimately, combining both fiat and crypto in your investment strategy can provide a balanced approach to hedge against market fluctuations.

This is a good side, obviously we all know there are lots of profits in crypto investments than fiat investments in banks. All we just need to do is to invest at the right time.

Fiat devaluation is one of the major reasons why crypto has more edge ahead of fiat, also the fact that fiat investments has a little turnover when it comes to profit. Crypto investment has an high potential of yielding huge profit provided the volatility moves to your advantage. Nevertheless we need to understand that the technicalities required in crypto investment is far more than that of fiat investments. As a newbie it’s better you take your time to learn before you start any investment, newbie can also watch out for learning opportunities from top exchanges like the Bitget BlockChain4Youths program and different exchanges Academy.

Buddy, we’re basically talking about investment and it has nothing to do with advertisement payment. Fiat investment does not yield much profit in compare to crypto and also the rate at which some countries fiat get devalued is really bad, it’s just better to invest in crypto. Regardless you also have to DYOR and do your due diligence because the crypto market is volatile but it can be to your advantage when you have good understanding of the crypto market.

Definitely crypto. because if we hold our money in fiat then it will inflation and decrease value but if we hold our money in crypto then it can give us a good profit in long term holding. so if your question is about investment then my answer is i will invest my 30% money in crypto and 50% in different business 10% is gold and another 10% is fiat money for Daily expenses and emergency needed because every country have specific fiat money for country based regular using so we have to hold fiat to expenses

We are getting into bull market and you are saying fiat is way better? What advertisement payments got to do with Bitcoin? Mind you, we are here talking about investments.

I’m sure he doesn’t just understand what we’re talking about, seriously even without the bull run I still make up to 7% APR interest on my holdings with Bitget shark fin and as BTC rise my assets are equally increasing, whereas most of my fiat investments in banks doesn’t get up to even 5% interest rate. I’m sure some people are still yet to invest in crypto because they’ve got too much confidence in fiat which is already failing most people now.
