Crypto or stocks investment which is do you prefer?

[blockman]

The stock market in my country isn't doing well. More investors are pulling their money off the market because of bad governance. Politics is really playing an important role to every market including cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. As much I have that longing to invest into our stock market, I'll choose the US stocks instead. But I am more invested to Bitcoin than any of those because it has set me some advantage when I have done it earlier than the others. Although there's always an opportunity to get in from these other markets if someone wants to invest there too.

Crypto currencies like, Bitcoin, etherum and solana are really great pumping in value over the years. And as crypto currency adaptation continues to spread fully around the world, I think there will be more valuable than there are now in the future.
    Stocks, as we all know are basically companies shares  put out publicly for any one to buy and own. A lots of stocks have done greatly over the years too, companies stocks like , Tesla, Facebook, Amazon and many more. And as long as these companies keeps innovating and improving, the value of these stocks will continue to increase.
    So when investing or starting your investment journey, which will you prefer to invest your money in, crypto or stocks?

Over the years, I have seen some overlap in investing decision especially over the past 5 years. People are beginning to start investing in both rather than just one. The older generation on the other hand would prefer to go the route of stock while younger generation would go the route of crypto especially for folks residing in territories where the stock market is not fully matured to generate decent return the companies you have mentioned are doing. In my own case, I would go with the mixture of the two but in the case of crypto, going with the popular names makes it safer compared to the others and in stock, there is an opportunity to own a tiny bit of everything which makes it more interesting.

The demand for stocks will definitely go up and with companies like Nvidia and other that could just spring out the demand for stocks will definitely increase very rapidly.
I don’t prefer stock to bitcoin because I will invest in bitcoin but someone could invest in Nvidia and do better than me. And in stock there are many companies you can look at but in cryptocurrency the risk is higher when you spin away from bitcoin.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I want to remind you that Nvidia has competitors and their reviews may increase or decrease based on the performance of their competitors. In this case, there is no guarantee that the current stock futures will rise in the same way.
And in the case of Bitcoin, it has no rival and we all know that as time goes by, the demand for Bitcoin will increase and at the same time the price will increase due to demand, and here if you can fold for the long term then it is possible to earn guaranteed profits which is not possible in any other sector.
I would like to clarify here that by cryptocurrency, I mean only Bitcoin investment. No other coin except Bitcoin will give me this level of surity, so it shouldn't be match compare the risk of Bitcoin with the risk of other cryptocurrencies.

I will prefer investing in Crypto, it's among the leading World order with rapid growth rate, the other items you mentioned have their own uniqueness, and there are people too who have investment in them, but I would go what I think is innovative and it's technology can easily be understood. While investment in crypto, I basically will invest in Bitcoin and not just any other crypto, this is because Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency with the highest Market Cap with lots of trusted investors across the world.

Crypto has historically been high risk and by history I mean that it's only been around for roughly 15 years, however the stock market has been around for a fair bit longer than that. Which is why most investors would generally stick with investing in companies that pay out or reinvest their profits every year. I'm one of the people that has generally stuck with buying stocks, but you can get a bit of exposure by buying into companies like Coinbase (at the right time) or even ETF's if you want. The same cannot really be said the other way, if you only have crypto it's hard without converting it to fiat currency to have any sort of ownership in companies. Most investors will trade the comfort of low volatility for lower gains over the long term.

If I'll start again, I think that I'll be going with the stocks. Because that's what the people says if ever I totally have zero knowledge about crypto.

But as we go deeper with crypto, we know that all investments have their risk and that's what we need to take.

And knowing that there are more people that came from nothing and made something through crypto, I'll change and take the chances through it.

The preferred option of some persons could be determined by what the trend is in their environment, if in their current environ trading crypto is what is trending, I believe they will be more interested in trading cryptocurrency but if the environment has stocks as what is the trend for people, you will have individuals who are more interested in trading stocks. They all point towards wealth, and if you are able master both the strategy and the emotional side as well of trading any of them, you will be successful. I do not have good knowledge of stocks, so cryptocurreny is more preferred by me.

[Ziskinberg]

I am not so familiar with stocks so I have to go on crypto and focus on bitcoin. And when bitcoin investment pays off, maybe I'll start studying how stocks investment works so that I can also diversify my investment with stocks.

Why bitcoin? Because everyone is craving for it, not hundreds or thousands, but millions of people are trying their luck with bitcoin. But I think being in this forum create an edge because it teaches us to invest in bitcoin the right and responsible way.

[EFS]

The stock market has flaws. For example, not everyone can access it. In crypto, there are no such restrictions. As long as you have internet access, you can invest in crypto-currencies from anywhere in the world. Even if your government has banned it, bypassing that is very easy. Entering the stock market is not that simple. For instance, to invest in an American stock, you need to use intermediaries. While holding the shares, you still have to trust those intermediaries. In crypto business, you can withdraw your coins to your own wallet and hold them for years. There is no intermediary involved.

Those that invested in bakkt stock early and held could have made bank.

But I don't see real value in crypto stocks anymore. They're over inflated after the bull market and will likely fall very hard potentially even harder than crypto when their business cycle shriks or competition eats then alive.

[Furball808]

Crypto. I can easily control it. It’s easy to buy and sell. Even if I only have a few dollars, I can already invest it in cryptocurrencies. It would only be worth it if you had invested in a stock before it took off.

[Yamifoud]

I have been into crypto, particularly bitcoin for long and it well worked for me, so maybe I'll just stick with bitcoin for now as long as it remained profitable and productive. Stocks may be common for others but I have no concrete knowledge about it, so most likely I will just focus into bitcoin over stocks.

But who knows in the future I can also learn how to navigate stocks and be profitable on it. Putting all your eggs in a single basket is risky, so definitely I will chose to diversify in time, it could be stocks or real estate, or both in perfect time.

[Vaculin]

I prefer crypto investment because that's where I'm making a good income, compared to stocks where I don't have clear ideas on how to gain from it or make good profits.

However, I won't deny I heard a lot of good news from stocks investors, and there are times I also got interested to try it. But I'm still so much engrossed with bitcoin and my own day job so I haven't enough time to learn about stocks.

    So when investing or starting your investment journey, which will you prefer to invest your money in, crypto or stocks?

Since crypto counts as currency and has more use cases compared to stocks, which are mainly seen as an investment when people are looking to grow their money I’d choose crypto over stocks. Although both offer good investment opportunities and with their own risks, crypto give me the flexibility to trade even on weekends. I have a friend who always invested in stocks but he decided to switch to crypto, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum until now he's still trading actively on crpyto. I can't force him to follow my choice, but when I introduced him to crypto, it was up to him whether he wanted to learn about it or not.

You’re asking a rhetorical question, but let me tell you how my actual investment journey has played out.

I first noticed Bitcoin back in 2017 but didn’t see it as a long-term investment. Coming from a Forex and stock market background, I was focused on speculation and just wanted to play the volatility. Looking back, I definitely regret not being a BTC holder. While my trades were profitable, they don’t even come close to the gains I would have made simply by holding.

Regarding stocks, I’m strictly a speculator and don’t pick individual tickers. My strategy involves trading the S&P 500 combined with dollar arbitrage, which has allowed me to outperform the broader market.

Lately, I’ve started trading Gold, but I’m doing it the "smart way" through crypto. I use PAXG on the Cryptomus exchange, where I run a trading bot. The gold token is part of an arbitrage strategy with cryptocurrency, following a logic similar to my S&P 500 and dollar trades.

In my opinion, the days of Bitcoin delivering 1,000% annual returns are over. Now, more than ever, it has become a perfect tool for speculation.

    So when investing or starting your investment journey, which will you prefer to invest your money in, crypto or stocks?

I prefer Bitcoin because it is decentralised. Businesses could go bankrupt because of government polices or other economic factor making shareholders to lose everything they have invested. In the case of Bitcoin, it will never get to zero. Bitcoin has also shown to be profitable over the years compared to some stocks.

Some stocks are worth investing in since these companies have proved to be reliable. Diversification is a good move. Investing in more than one assets reduce risks and could generate more profits. Therefore, it will not be wrong to invest in both.

Although the likelihood of Bitcoin falling to 0 is very low, there is no guarantee that it will no happen. The past is a useful point of reference, but it is not a guarantee for the future.

If we compare their lifespans, many businesses like Apple and NVIDIA have even outlived Bitcoin. But if they also have the potential to decline or collapse, why is Bitcoin immune when it also face risk from government and technology?
Everything involve risk, and I think diversification is the right step, as you said.

In my experience, investment perhaps we have to refer to conditions and circumstances, investing is not just an investment, we need to look at future developments, which ones have more prospects for investment.

Yes, maybe now of course we have to say that the best way to consider investment is crypto like Bitcoin, I'm not saying shares are not good, of course they are good, Yes, maybe before crypto enters the world of digital markets, it might make sense to consider it, well if you look at the current conditions, crypto investment is better for me, like Bitcoin.

In my opinion, the days of Bitcoin delivering 1,000% annual returns are over. Now, more than ever, it has become a perfect tool for speculation.

It must be acknowledged that the era of Bitcoin delivering 1000% annual returns or exponential growth in a short period of time has ended. However, when comparing all options, Bitcoin will still be the best performing asset in the long term.

Bitcoin has the potential to reach $1 million in the coming decade, meaning a tenfold increase. But this would be a difficult task for assets like gold or bluechip stocks. Therefore, investing in bitcoin will still be a wiser option in the coming years.

[Kelward]

Obviously my preference is crypto and specifically Bitcoin because I have come to gain a lot of knowledge about it's technology and market, it is decentralized and has limited supply which has made it a store of value. I like Bitcoin because it is not controlled by any single entity like stocks which the major shareholders have major control and decision making about their products. If you have enough discretionary funds there is nothing stopping you from being a Bitcoin investor and a stock holder of companies of your choice, you can always diversify your portfolio into different assets. I think it is quite dangerous to leave all your funds in only one asset no matter how profitable it is because nothing is 100% guaranteed in the future.

I am more knowledgeable in the crypto space and for that reason, i will rather prefer to invest in the space where i will understand better and make really intentional decisions than a place where my decisions will often be influenced and prompted by advices from people i will consider experts who are also prone to mistakes too at some point while they are advising you on decisions to as an investor.

I can invest some amount in stocks since i have heard a few chance the stories of others and i have also confirmed that for sure stock can be profitable investments, but i will not be taking it as much as i will with crypto which i know and understand better.
