Bitcoin, Gold, and Real Estate: Choosing the right source of wealth in Nigeria.

[Fountainman]

The major financial lesson to learn is the concept of a store of wealth. A store of wealth is any asset that preserves its value over time. , it allows people to save today and spend in the future without losing purchasing power while gaining marginal profit. Over the years, Gold and Real Estate have been the most reliable sources of wealth, but in recent times, Bitcoin has entered the conversation. As a young Nigerian seeking to have a future of financial freedom, it's important to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the three.

Gold: Timeless stability
For centuries, Gold has been a trusted source of wealth. Its global acceptance and scarcity give it an edge against inflation and unstable currency. Gold is easily accessible in Nigeria in the form of Jewelry and coins. However, Gold does not generate cash flow.

Real Estate: Land never lies
Land is one of the most valuable ways to store wealth in Nigeria. Buying land in developing cities provides Good appreciation in a long run as urbanization expands. Real Estate takes time to sell but it has serve as foundation for wealth building for many Nigerian families. Development of rental properties also guarantees a steady cash flow.

Bitcoin: Digital Gold for the future
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins which offers similar scarcity to gold but Bitcoin is superior in term of how portable and divisible it is. As a Nigerian, value can be store in Bitcoin outside of the naira system which give protection against devaluation. However, the the volatile nature of the price makes it risky, also in Nigeria, government policy can affect access and trade.

No single asset is perfect. Combining Gold for its timelessness, land for its stability, and Bitcoin for its morfern potential can help build a strong financial foundation that can withstand unstable economic conditions and store wealth for the future.

Gold is not easy to buy, did you know that? I will like sites that I can buy gold in Nigeria. Can you tell me some of them?

I prefer buying lands and bitcoin because they are easy for me. I easily do the land legal work but bitcoin is the easiest. I was told by the person that introduced this forum to me that I should not yet buy bitcoin, that I should wait for the price to drop. Is that true?

I will like bitcoin than land and gold because it is very easy but I am looking for an price to buy $1000 bitcoin.

Looking at how Nigerian economy don go so far for infrastructures and industries, we don see how backward our own economy system don be as we governments now depends more on exportations and same time the quite approach of our naira devaluation. So in essence to keep our funds valuable, na to invest dem for where get hedge to store values like bitcoin be 1 of the best.
Real estate too dey ok bcos em own values dey follow the economy via evaluation. Investing on tech too dey okay bcos the global economy don be like on-chain for technology.

I saw a point on Instagram today from one of the bitcoin millionaires of Nigeria, Bitcoinchief and he claim that Bitcoin is gold, real estate, and other forms of investments put together. It took me thinking about it deeply to understand that he is correct because bitcoin is actually work all of them put together. Most of us that are privileged to exist in the era of bitcoin does not know what opportunity we have in our hands else we would have be more motivated to invest heavily on bitcoin.

What if you existed during the time and you did not buy bitcoin. The main thing are those that invested in bitcoin and gain from it. Many people did not know about bitcoin early while some yet did not buy after seeing bitcoin good  performance.

Both Bitcoin, gold and real estate are actually the most common means of staying the value of our wealth for further use. And as an investor and Nigerian, it's highly necessary and important one has a diversified means of investment. Of which Real estate and Bitcoin seems to be the most suitable, since Bitcoin is mobile and could be carried along with you anywhere and anytime without anybody knowing you are hold a million dollars. While Real estate is a permanent investment, which can't be stolen. Hence, giving it more importance

[nelson4lov]

Compared to gold and real estate, Bitcoin largely outperformed both in the last decade. I saw a report recently about real estate not being the best move because if you secure a property and rent it out, it takes around a decade on average to breakeven and it doesn't even account for maintenance.

For gold, the wealth in it is already too large and it can't move much again and the annual inflation is currently around 2% or higher compared to Bitcoin which is < 1% and that number keeps decreasing with each passing halving year.

Imo, it's quite simple => Buy Bitcoin and when you're up nicely, you can realized some gains and get yourself some nice real estate so you never have to be a tenant again in life.

Bitcoin can't be compared to any other investment because of its reward given to you, for those investors that are serious, they can't compare Bitcoin with any other investment because it's valuable and can't be tempered since it can't be controlled by any agency, it's a digital money with proper security, it can't depreciate over time since the supply are limited, real estate and gold can easily be accessed and depreciate over time .

If Bitcoin has existed the way gold has existed, it would have gone far beyond gold's present price and would have increased in value, I will choose Bitcoin over and over again than any other sources of wealth or property.

[Doan9269]

We should know that all these assets are profitable to invest in and we can have a secured future that is more reliable in them, but under the order of their priorities, we can choose bitcoin first, then followed by gold and real estate, because they are all profitable, we can secure our future in them all and they helps increase in value over time, while bitcoin is more proven to be profitable than others at the long run, its an idea that we can also use by not having all our asset on a single investment.

[Callido]

Gold is stable compared to Bitcoin and Real Estate. There should be reasons to pick one over the other, Gold won't give enough return of investment rather it keeps your investment away from market volatility, Gold is preferably used as a store of value, rather than an investment to yield large profits.

Bitcoin and real estate will be competing for who gives the best return, the difference is that real estate will demand working time and activeness unlike Bitcoin requiring less participation just to buy and hold with good return of investment over the waiting period.

[Grace333]

For me, I go pick land and Bitcoin as the strongest options for building wealth in Nigeria. Land has always been solid, you buy it, hold it, and it just keeps appreciating as cities expand and development spreads.. It is something you can see and touch, and no matter how the economy is shaking, land still holds value. It is the kind of asset that gives you security and can even be passed down as generational wealth.

On the other side, Bitcoin balances that by giving you freedom and growth in a way land can not. With the Naira losing value year after year, Bitcoin is like a hedge that protects your money and connects you to the global economy. It is portable, borderless, and resistant to government manipulation. So having both land and Bitcoin feels like the perfect mix.. 

[PremiumcryptoHub]

In choosing the right source of wealth in Nigeria, I would choose these three resources in order because they different in order of risk. It may be true to some extent that Bitcoin investments can yield much higher profits than any other investment but even then, this investment is the riskiest because it is always associated with volatility, so market sentiment changes. Even then gold may remain in the best position in terms of stability because this natural resource has a much higher current market cap and is at a high peak in this regard. On the other hand, I think real estate can be a reliable investment because its value tends to increase over time but it is true that its liquidity is much lower, so it might be best to invest in BTC by setting goals and time frames.

Al the listed are real value investments as the have growth potential.  However, they have their risks. One thing is needed in all of these. Leveraging on the information out there, if it is too cumbersome then the service of professionals can be employed.
Gold appreciates and depreciates the same goes for BTC. Although lands are different, but one needs to buy with caution. Overall they are good investments

Most of us that are privileged to exist in the era of bitcoin does not know what opportunity we have in our hands else we would have be more motivated to invest heavily on bitcoin.

At first, I didn't really know about the actual potentials of Bitcoin, but right now, after getting to conduct my own research about people who actually invested in Bitcoin, and I can actually affirm that for people who can have patience and consistency, Bitcoin is actually the fastest way to not only build and grow wealth, but also to gain financial freedom faster than every other assets mentioned above, Gold, real estate and other assets. Bitcoin is superior to them all and only those who actually understands the concepts and potentials of Bitcoin would truly understand and come to the realisation of this fact.

[Ruttoshi]

Too many stress moving from one place to another and having a strong financial strength makes real estate a no go area for the poor and  average Nigeria citizens. Gold has fake and original, if you are not careful, you might buy a fake gold. If you are wealthy, storing gold becomes a problem only if you keep it in a bank vault and you have to pay for it. These two investments that I mentioned might be taking money from you time to time.

Bitcoin is very simple and easy to invest and hodli. With as little as $15000, you can buy bitcoin, increase your bitcoin size and be your own bank without anyone knowing that you own an asset. Secondly, bitcoin is the most profitable asset in the world currently, therefore, we should take the advantage and buy bitcoin at her early stage for the future.

I love the idea of investing in gold since it's stable. But I'm doing all I can do hold bitcoin. I hate the idea of gate-keeping bitcoin since using it bring about better value. I don't even mind going into debt to increase my bitcoin holdings for the future and when it's up with better returns, one can equally sell. I hear too much about Real Estate, I don't have no plans to jump into what I don't have a clear knowledge, I see more positive than negative feedbacks though. It should make sense.

No single asset is perfect. Combining Gold for its timelessness, land for its stability, and Bitcoin for its morfern potential can help build a strong financial foundation that can withstand unstable economic conditions and store wealth for the future.

I must say I love your conclusion, and I would call it "investment diversification." I've seen many people arguing that Bitcoin is the best, or another asset is the best, but in the end, no asset has a guarantee, especially the guarantee of the time you might want to use it. Combining Gold, Bitcoin, and real estate is a very good deal if I were the investor, such has helped many times in the past. If it is not bad luck, I don't see how all of them will fail the investor at once.

[Fiatless]

No single asset is perfect. Combining Gold for its timelessness, land for its stability, and Bitcoin for its morfern potential can help build a strong financial foundation that can withstand unstable economic conditions and store wealth for the future.

All the above investments are viable. If you have huge funds, you can diversify by investing in all three. If you are in the middle class, consider investing in Bitcoin and gold since real estate is capital-intensive. Low-income earners will find Bitcoin more suitable since they can invest with what they have at every given time.

Bitcoin is also my first choice because it can be moved with ease from one place to another. In case of war or conflict, landed property will be abandoned. Gold will be difficult to move without suspicion. But with Bitcoin, your money can move with you to any country with ease.

As an investor, spread your investment in Gold , Real estate and Bitcoin. Having one source of investment is not nice for an investor, in case on the investment fail, the rest can still generate you profit to cover up the failed one. All the investment you listed are potential and futurist. In this era if you can not say you are an investment and you have no asset in Gold, Real estate and Bitcoin.

These investments are similar in term of time, its a long time investment the profit will not happen over night. It will take along time for to profit from it, so if you have no plan for long term investment do not invest in it. The Funny thing about these investments is that people can be patient with gold and Real estate, but when it comes to Bitcoin they want to gain profit faster. and when their expectation are cut short, they will tag Bitcoin scam. People expect more from Bitcoin than Real estate and Gold investment. The truth is that, if you can endure Real estate and Gold, do same to Bitcoin, and you will smile to the bank.

[Kagaru]

Each of these assets has demonstrated utility, but they also carry with them tradeoffs that are impossible to avoid. Gold is safe but not liquid, real estate is liquid but unproductive, and Bt is liquid but volatile. For a young investor, it makes sense to not put all your eggs in one basket but to balance across them based on goals and risk appetite. BTC is the only currency that is free from borders, and free from censorship, which is of great importance under certain governments where currency controls are severe. Still, real estate and gold offer that stability in the ground that Bitcoin doesn't always offer in the short-term. The right combination is the only thing that ensures the future.
