If you were given opportunity to invest which would you go for?

[Pi-network314159]

For you reading this post, which of the investment do you think could be better and worthy enough in the next 5 years?

5 years is too small to justify if investing in bitcoin or landed property is better, why i said this is because bitcoin may not be that profitable in 5 years like land. landed property appreciate constantly every year while bitcoin is volatile, which means that it may appreciate this year and fall in five years time when the market is bearish. for example bitcoin met the ATH at $126k last year and this year it has fell by %50 from the previous all time high, this is to tell you how volatile bitcoin is. it may be profitable than landed property but the main thing is that we should expect it to be more profitable after some years or after some circles. the both are very important when making choice for physical and online investment.

Both are good and lucrative investments, but if I were given the opportunity to invest I will invest in bitcoin because the chances of me losing my money in bitcoin investment is slim and I can start a bitcoin investment with any amount of money provided it's discretionary income, what I just need to succeed in bitcoin investment is to hold my bitcoin for long term.

is it what you think about Bitcoin do you know that the price of Bitcoin is not constant, and the price is something that can increase at any time so looking at it very well you will see for Bitcoin price sometimes you do increases and sometimes it decreases so do not think that the Bitcoin is the best option for investment, before now there are many people who has lost enough in Bitcoin due to the panic to sell Bitcoin when the price decreases, let me give you an example someone who invested in Bitcoin when the price was 100k and now the price of bitcoin is on 60k so it is obvious that the person that interested when the price is 100k is losing much for bitcoin investment, so what I'm saying is that there is no investment that does not experience losses so it depends on you to make your decision for the Investment you want and you have bear it.

Bitcoin is indeed a good investment, but that does not mean it is without risk or that it cannot lead to losses

Do not make the mistake of thinking that simply buying Bitcoin guarantees good return. Profits will depend on your entry point, how long you hold and how much capital you put in. We cannot expect Bitcoin to generate huge profit if we only invest a small amount of capital. And losses are almost unavoidable if we keep buying at market tops and panic selling during a bear market

Those who bought Bitcoin at 100k are currently facing large losses, and they may have to endure this situation for a long time before breaking even, let alone making a profit.

[khiholangkang]

Property or land and bitcoin have their own disadvantages and also their own advantages, such as if we can invest in bitcoin at a low price and can sell at a high price in the peak cycle it will be very profitable if calculated 5 years of investment, as well as land or property if in a place that can be utilized for better productivity it will be very good results apart from the price of land that continues to grow, This will also be very profitable on the land that we can maximize properly, the difficulty is depending on how you measure and assess that the place you buy will get good potential in the next 5 years, usually if you know the government's development plan in an area the value will have a good increase on that place.

In some scenarios currently, landed property can out perform bitcoin especially if you've put the land in good use. For example, if you buy a land that has a real fertile soil, you can go into agriculture and make multiple returns within a year, it is possible to make 3X your capital in 5 years from your plantation if you have in demand crops and your land is still appreciating, but we cannot achieve that in bitcoin now, although some people have their preference of digital asset which is still valid, but it is a better option not to put all your eggs in one basket, you need to diversify for security of your assets.

Many people argue that real estate lacks privacy, the risk of government seizure, or cannot be purchased with a small amount of capital. That is not entirely wrong either. But in reality, the main reason is that they believe bitcoin will deliver better returns based on its past performance.

However, they overlook the fact that in many cases, real estate can deliver superior returns over the same period. You are right, if we use land efficiently.
Unlike Bitcoin, real estate can generate income throughout holding period by using and developing it rather than relying solely on its value appreciation.

If we have good management in asset utilization, we will definitely get more profit, that's where the key lies in this discussion according to me, but if you can't manage the land so that it can get a good profit for five years, but if not, then the choice is better bitcoin, because bitcoin only needs you to save and wait, without having to do much effort to make it profitable for five years.

Good advice as what is said is not to keep eggs in one basket, because anything can happen to damage the assets you have and you will not lose everything if you diversify.

For you reading this post, which of the investment do you think could be better and worthy enough in the next 5 years?

You have already said that in all the developed areas, the value of real estate is much more, while in the less developed areas, the return is not likely to be high. So from this we can easily understand that in the case of real estate, it is not always possible to get what we expect. But in the case of Bitcoin, there is no such restriction. If the price of Bitcoin increases, everyone will benefit, and if the price decreases, the amount of loss will also be equal. I think that each of us should invest in an investment platform where one can keep his wealth under his control without any hassle. An investor who invests in Bitcoin can get several times his wealth in a short time, especially with the big changes in the price of Bitcoin every year due to Halving. If someone understands the risks and the benefits of holding Bitcoin for a long time, then he will definitely give Bitcoin the highest priority.

Few weeks back I was in an argument with some people saying that they value landed properties than investing in digital currencies, but however, both of them are so much important to invest on, now investing in bitcoin doesn't give you any risk provided that you are holding for a long duration, same thing applicable with landed properties when you hold for long term especially the area that has been developed you would see your landed property appreciating so quickly than that of the digital currencies.

Based on the argument, I have believed that bitcoin investment is much worthy than landed properties, although this depends on the area of the landed that could make it to boost so faster than as we may think of. Undeveloped areas does not appreciates as we think so easily and even if you must sell when the profits might added it wouldn't the same as someone who invested on bitcoin because as we know is cyclic and also doubled with the halving has been concluded.

For you reading this post, which of the investment do you think could be better and worthy enough in the next 5 years?

No, you BELIEVE that investing to BTC isn't risky. That's in your head, put in there by a bubble of bitcoin hodlers who have benefited from it. Only reason people believe it's not risky, is that they believe that chart is repeating itself and slowly growing. There's however zero proof of that happening. It's just something we, the bag holders believe in.

And i am geniunely baffled how you think that both of them, property and digital currencies are important. What does that even mean? To whom are digital currencies important? Their scarcity is artificially created. Compare that to real estate, which actually exist, and land you can build into in this world is scarce as ever.

[kawetsriyanto]

This is not entirely true either. If you genuinely understand an asset deeply, concentrating on it can sometimes generate much higher return than spreading investment.

It depends on ho you view it. Diversification is surely very possible to increase the chance of getting profits if you choose the right assets.
Please read carefully what I said above, I said "choose the most reputable assets only such as Gold, Bitcoin, or properties".

I believe that going all in on Bitcoin can sometimes yield superior return compared to diversifying into gold or real estate. However, that is too risky and it is more like gambling.

If you are real investor, you won't invest with a gambling approach. 
Even if Bitcoin can increase higher but it takes few years for rising significant. If you only invest in Bitcoin, you need several times to be able to take profits. But if you also invest in Gold or property, you may take profits faster. And they are also safe assets for a long run. So, there is nothing wrong to diversify assets on them, right?

Diversification aims to minimize risk, not to help us earn greater profit.

Sure, it minimizes the risk. But it also can rise the chance of bigger profits, too.

I even think we should prioritize income and emergency fund before thinking about investing. Investing is the next step, not the first.

If you read carefully, you will be aware that it is the point of my post above. People can invest if they have stable income, which means they have no problem anymore with their monthly income and emergency funds.

Both investments have been proven to be profitable. It now scales down to what the investor wants. For someone who doesn't trust digital investments, he can purchase a good number of landed properties and after a couple of years, development will come to that land making it more valuable than what he bought it at. Bitcoin is quiet similar in terms of profits making. Just that it's on a digital scale. Another reason why people might go for lands instead of bitcoin would be the fact that land doesn't depreciate. No matter how long it takes for development to occur, it's value only goes up and not down. They might consider this and compare bitcoins volatile nature as a yastic not to invest. But regardless of what we choose, they both will yield profits over time..

My father would always make it obvious that no matter why you're doing in life, always buy land because you're not just buying land but a share of the earth and for someone like my dad who made most of his money from buying and selling of lands then it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue buying land which is one of the oldest and proven form of business investment and one good thing about land is that it will never depreciate but always appreciate except on critical conditions like maybe war or natural disasters which isn't common in area where I come from.

And just as you've already said @Hatchy, I would say that, the choice of investment is dependent of what the investor wants and I would rather invest in both if I have the means rather than  wanting to compare but I think o feel good holding both but in recent time, land is becoming very expensive and difficult to buy in bits unlike bitcoin which can be bought even with as low as $5 and I think that's why bitcoin leverages over land.

^^ Land as said is hard to argue against over time, especially if you can use that land most obviously for your own housing.  If you can immediately end your rental costs its a highly justified investment, its also why its become so overdone in pricing.   So dont overpay or your'll be underwater for years quite possibly but housing is popular for a reason and owning the land is a large part of that.   
  McDonalds Franchises dont own their own land famously, hence it can quite often turn out to be a poor investment as outlined in that recent movie.  A clever operation by the central brand was to focus on that land apparently, which underlines its worth over time on average.

bitcoin investment is much worthy than landed properties

I'll be out of line and disagreed with for this but BTC has no yield and strictly speaking its a speculative commodity like market not how I would define investment.  To invest its got to have a business yield of some kind, even open land plain fields can have yield because you can rent it out for live stock to graze on.  BTC is far more focused on price involvement then within an industry imo.  Im not sure anyone cares about the difference, money is money profit counts either way.

For me, I would rather invest in both if I have the opportunity, but if I must choose only one, I would go for Bitcoin. In the last few years, Bitcoin has shown stronger growth than most traditional investments, especially for people who can hold for the long term. Land also has its advantages. You can see it physically and in a good location its value can increase a lot over time. The problem is that not every area develops quickly, so sometimes you may wait many years before seeing significant returns.

[Ayers]

instances of government land reclamation or confiscation do not occur arbitrarily or all that often.

So, do not use that as an excuse. It sound rather forced, as if you are deliberately picking a rare exception to refute one of the oldest and most reliable asset classes in the world.

Frankly, the reason we chose Bitcoin was not because of privacy or security issues. Profit is the real reason.

Maybe it is not "often", but it is not impossible. On top of that, it depends on the nation you are living, if you live in USA for example, it s very hard to hear something like that, not the same in other countries.

For example, my grandfather was a rich business person, not like some billionaire with a yatch type of person lol. But he was the distributor or whatever it is called in English, of veggies in our town. So you want pumpkin? lettuce? tomato (well tomato happens to be fruit now lol) cabbage etc etc? ALL of them, came from him, he would have a connection at the big city, would bring as much as needed, and people all would buy from him wholesale. He had a huge mansion size house, looking over the sea.

So I would say, in todays worth, it would be 10+ million dollar networth. You know what happened? Government took his home, paid him like 2 months worth of salary I have now, basically nothing, and then closed his shop, because he once had an argument with the mayor...

Yes, as I said, it happen very rarely.

Other than your grandfather's case, have you ever witnessed any other similar case?

As we know, most real estate investors are relatively wealthy or above. Do you think those people are foolish enough to invest in asset that could be easily seized or whose ownership could be easily taken away?

If that risk were truly as common as many of us are exaggerating. Real estate will never become one of the most popular stores of wealth across generations.

Of course, real estate is a flexible asset that can generate income while you own it. But to achieve that, it needs to be managed and operated effectively in order to maximize its value. So if we do not manage it properly, we should not expect those investment to deliver the return we hope for.

On the other hand, investing in Bitcoin doesnt require much effort. However, we will become more passive as the returns are almost entirely dependent on market performance. If a black swan event were to hit global financial market in the next 5 years, dont expect Bitcoin to deliver high returns.

I agree. Diversification is the solution.

There is no clear cut answer to this question. I have friend who is working in real estate sector and doing fine. While I am doing good by investing in Bitcoin. What matters is how much knowledge you have about a particular sector. If you just jump into bitcoin with no preparation and you think you will only become rich by investing into it then you are deemed to get loss. Likewise capital is secondary thing in real estate investment, primary thing is knowledge to buy right thing at right time and in right price.

I am not so sure which 5 year period life cycle Bitcoin will repeat next year. If bitcoin is going to repeat 2021-2026, when price increased from $53K to $63k (if rule is to do anything with bitcoin by end of 5th year), then I would choose investment in property. If bitcoin is going to repeat life cycle 2017-2022, then I definitely going to invest in it. However, I am leaning more to buying property abroad, somewhere near sea to rent it, or to visit it by myself.

@Mayor of ogba started by complementing the two investments and also gave reasons why he prefer Bitcoin than the other, and i think his reasons are very much sufficient enough for his decision, we already know that Bitcoin is volatile asset and for any reason one decides to invest in Bitcoin, such person must take this into consideration, as for the panicking, it is normal think but selling in loss isn't the right decision, you gave and example, but don't you think that if someone at that price knowing very well that Bitcoin can also drop along the line, such person is not suppose to sell in panic if Bitcoin eventually dips because it can also rise at anytime, that why it is often said that for investors to succeed for a long-term, they must be very patient while holding.

[Cheema02]

5 years is too small to justify if investing in bitcoin or landed property is better, why i said this is because bitcoin may not be that profitable in 5 years like land. landed property appreciate constantly every year while bitcoin is volatile, which means that it may appreciate this year and fall in five years time when the market is bearish. for example bitcoin met the ATH at $126k last year and this year it has fell by %50 from the previous all time high, this is to tell you how volatile bitcoin is. it may be profitable than landed property but the main thing is that we should expect it to be more profitable after some years or after some circles. the both are very important when making choice for physical and online investment.

Yes, Its very rational point that for comparison between Bitcoins and land property the duration of five years is very short. Real state makes more profit than any other business and also its the physically form of assets which later used for rent and or development. But Bitcoins are famous for stability even in conflicts time. Because its increased rapidly and also decrease according to same pattern. So this nature of Bitcoins leads to volatility. In Market many investors take risk to gain long term and sustainable progress. In business many individuals prefer stability but some taking more risks to get higher returns. So the learning point is that assets has a lot of importance and if we make a balanced situation and take risks with in limit then actually we moving towards success.

[JoyMarsha]

Both the landed and the Bitcoin investment depend on the one someone has much knowledge of both, which can give maximum profits. I can't have good knowledge of Bitcoin investment and what it can do in the future via profits and I am choosing to invest in landed properties, if not Bitcoin. The same thing applies to someone who has good knowledge of land than Bitcoin investment. They will choose land over Bitcoin, which I have seen people who are into real estate do, and they are okay with that.

What I am saying, everyone should invest in the things that are okay with, so that whatever comes up from it, they know how to handle it without many issues to bug them with

~ Real estate is not a passive asset like gold or bitcoin. If you know how to utilize it effectively, it can generate cash flow through rental income and business activities. Something that Bitcoin cannot do.

Yeah, and the more it is like that, the more risky it is. A lot of people are saying the same about some shitcoins, and during some period of time it's true, but those who believe in such fairy tales lose everything. Really everything, not 70% like it happens with Bitcoin. "To each his own", as they say, but I feel like I must warn people who might read it - stay away from real estate, especially from the part that you can "utilize effectively".

I like your answer that you like both and if you do both it is a good thing although it is difficult to do because I think most people will choose just one. My advice is if you do both then you need to be able to pay attention to your finances very well don't let you do both but this has a bad impact on your own finances so you need to be careful in managing your finances.

I find this to be somewhat true. Most of the times, how well one does in a particular area of investment is usually based on how well they know and understand that particular investment. An investor who really understands and have deep knowledge about Bitcoin would definitely regard investing in Bitcoin as the best option, and would most definitely choose Bitcoin over and over again. Likewise someone who’s more knowledgeable about real estate investment, he’d also feel that field is also more commendable. And this doesn’t make either of them wrong or right, because investment should be about going into something you can easily manage, something you really understand the risks, not just the potential rewards and something you’ve built confidence in, and would stay focused, even when things don’t go your way.

Investing in the both of them is nice but like you said choosing Bitcoin is also a wise choice and the only thing I see in this two investments is that you have to wait for a long time to make profit and that is why it is a long time investment and people that have taking there time to invest in Bitcoin and have waited for long have not regretted anything so far and imagine even investing in Bitcoin when the price was more affordable than now and there are people that actually prefer physical investments so that they can see when ever they want but still does not guarantee anything, and if not for any form of carelessness then Bitcoin investments is also very safe to invest in.
