Would you invest in BTC or MicroStrategy MSTR?

If you're in this community then buying an ETF over actual BTC seems backwards. This was obviously targeted at the mainstream.

Firstly MSTR is simply business   which would be finance based on the profit realised if the reverse is the case the business crashes. Investing and buying of her stock is way much risky than investing in Bitcoin which is decentralized and one how control over there investment.
Self-Custody is the only means one can use while investing in the cryptocurrency market not investing in third party system while would I want to invest in stocks owned by exchanges, Coinbase failed from the market after massive investment put in for there NFT , MSTR has good capital structure for her investors and is accumulating more Bitcoin, I think those that  invest in MSTR are in for profit making over there stock in a shorter time range and careless over managing there portfolio themselves.

I would invest in Bitcoin not MSTR.

If you want more safety, invest in Bitcoin only and you don't have to mind about future of Coinbase or MicroStrategy. Not all their products will succeed like Coinbase spent massive budget to build their NFT marketplace which failed.

To be fair, when investing in bitcoin, we don't need to worry about the future of Coinbase or MicroStrategy, but we will need to pay attention to the future of bitcoin. Because the future of bitcoin has no 1000% guarantee that it will be absolutely safe and always bring us success, and it can be said that everything has risk. But because we hate centralization and when we invest in those companies, our assets will be controlled by others while bitcoin gives us privacy and full control. Therefore, choosing bitcoin will be more correct and safer.

Everyone has their own criteria for profit and risk, even decentralization. If you prioritize decentralization, you choose BTC because BTC is the most decentralized asset in the world. Those who want higher profits can choose COIN or MSTR if they really believe that these securities will increase in price more than BTC in the future. Traditional investors prefer the simplicity they are used to, and they choose spot BTC ETFs and COIN + MSTR.

I think we are different, and we will have different choices. I respect all choices because in the end, each investor will enjoy their own profits or losses.

Of course, everyone's investment taste is never the same and we need to respect each other's choices, not criticize other investments just because we don't choose them. Honestly, I'm still more focused on profit than decentralization or privacy because if I don't have the money then decentralization doesn't mean anything to me. But I still bet on bitcoin and believe it will grow better, faster and bring me greater profits than any other investment including stocks of large companies.

I think both could definitely generate profits but it’s not exactly about that. Cryptocurrency and stocks are two different things and have different audiences. Some may even have invested in both. But bitcoin offers a different kind of utility when investing in it compared to stocks. For me right now at this point of my life, bitcoin seems to be the safest option and the most accessible one.

With bitcoin, there’s utility and function but with MSTR, aside from profit I don’t really see any point in investing in it.

If financial feasibility allows, both approaches will be incorporated into my strategy. MicroStrategy, a reputable company with a proven track record, prioritizes safeguarding its reputation. Moreover, they possess diverse investment opportunities beyond Bitcoin. With their capabilities, they can aptly make sound decisions for investors, provided they are inclined to do so. Opting for their services not only grants access to their expertise but also empowers investors to actively manage their portfolios at any given time.

Do you choose to invest in BTC or MSTR? Why?

Of course I will choose Bitcoin. I'm a crypto lover, I'm not a fan of stocks.
Even MSTR is great, it is not the same as Bitcoin. MSTR can be stock of one of the popular companies in the world, MicroStrategy. But it can't be as flexible as when we invest in Bitcoin. Analyzing the potential of MSTR will be also different from Bitcoin. Honestly, I'm not familiar with stocks, I'm familiar with crypto world. So, no doubt I will prefer BTC over MSTR.

Is an investment in MSTR safer than an investment in BTC?

Both have the risks. I don't really know MSTR but I think the risk will be the same as investing on most stocks of common companies. Investing in BTC can be riskier but I can deal with the risk in Bitcoin investment. Meanwhile I don't have an idea to deal with the risk on MSTR investment.

In the long term, BTC has outperformed most stocks in the market. We can compare BTC with S&P500 and DJIA to see this, but the story will be different when comparing BTC with BTC-related stocks like stocks of BTC mining companies, COIN and MSTR. Anyway, this doesn't matter because even if you prioritize profits, you also have priorities related to asset security and peace of mind during the investment process.

We can expect long-term growth in BTC price while not knowing what could happen to MS or Coinbase next month because they are still just companies run by a few people. I respect your portfolio and believe it is a reasonable portfolio from a wise decision!
