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

This depends on the situation you are in, and how rich you are. At the poorest level, if you have barely enough money to buy your own home, that is the first thing you need to do. Get out of rent and buy your own home. Even if you think, spending 100k for a home today, is stupid, because you could buy 100k worth bitcoin right now, which could be 200k+ in a few years, still buy a home.

Because having yoru own home gives a great deal of relief you can't imagine. But after that? You could invest into whatever you want, pay off and have your own home, no mortgage, just your own home, then rest is whatever you wish.

It does not just depend on your financial situation or how wealthy you are. It also depend on your financial goal.

Owning a home early can give you stability and peace of mind, but it can also become a financial burden or a barrier to your goal. You may spend years rebuilding the capital you put into the house, leaving you with fewer resources to invest or take advantage of other opportunities. But if you focus on investing and achieve your financial goals first, you will have more options when it comes to buying a home and face far less financial pressure.


Overall, the final decision depend on your financial goal, personal situation, and risk tolerance.

Good words. I agree absolutely. Compared to gold or even to real estate, which I was criticizing earlier in this thread, crypto is a nightmare for those who can't control their emotions and greed. Definitely not for everyone. For some people, investing in crypto is not advisable. Invest in silver or chip manufacturing and your life will be easier is my advise to those people.

Well, it is just common words. We all know that not everyone is ready to deal with any issue in crypto. So, it is just for the brave people who have strong mindset and mentality. Sure, people who can't control themselves, they probably will end up with losses only. Yep, investing to Gold or landed property seems can be more suitable for the people who don't like the big volatility in assets.

Overall, the final decision depend on your financial goal, personal situation, and risk tolerance.

Financial goal can be the same. But the capability or propensity of each individual may be different. Some people may be more suitable with physical assets, other may prefer digital assets. Both of them have the same goal, they want to improve the financial level.

You are right . Where to invest depends on the financial condition of the person. Those who are rich or those who have financial security in their life, even if they do not invest in a new way, their life will pass with out any tension , but still they want to invest to increase their wealth. Then they invest mainly in those assets from which the return will be much higher. And those who lead a middle class life dream of building their own house as a stable income source. Even if they do not have a job in the future, they should be able to live a normal life. They want to invest their hard earned money in such assets that will give them financial security in the future. I think there are more such people live beside us.

Certainly, your home is a core neccesity that's as important as any other investment you intend doing. Most times, while investing in bitcoin, some investment will still do it along getting a home not just as a place to stay but also as a means of adding to your status in the real society.

The major challenge with getting a home is that it requires a lot of finances to finish it up and at certain time, you might need to suspend every other thing you're doing just to set up a building structure and then other things can follow. As much as investing in bitcoin is important, getting a home is equally of a particular neccesity.

Getting a place to lay your head is very important in life, because if you can check some of people now that are struggling it actually means lack of home, before someone can think of any investment definitely they have to look at their income, what they have at hand define what they can be able to do when make any decision regarding were to invest.

Financial security is very important because not every investment succeed and when that happened you can have this as backup and it will make the situation calm down, having a place to lay your head when all this happen reduce a lot of frustration.

Expensive at it is but fulfiling once you are done, I agree with you that in terms of building your house there are times that you need to paused for those things that's not as important to cater your needs for your house, things that you can adjust to avoid spending since you are allocating it to something more important, those are factors that's needed to complete your goals, at the end of the day it's going to be a good investment either personal or a long-term plan to make it as part of your business.

Property and bitcoin has their advantages. For the graphics like this being made is to distinguish the difference, pros and cons of bitcoin and property. It also includes gold in it.



As an investor, we know that bitcoin is better if we don't like to do renovations. But for real estate investors, that's just easy as the capital appreciation of the real estate itself is one factor. It can also be rented out for the tenants to have income generation. And people shouldn't mislead into it by thinking that it's a passive income. No it's not because it's active and there are repairs needed when tenants complain.

If you check carefully among all of them, bitcoin remains the only assets that grant it holders the true security through it privacy pf storage, unlike like all the other assets Gold and rental apartments, all that demands physical presence and could pause a security threate to the investors, taxes and all the challenges thay come from physical involvements, but all that I avoided with bitcoin unless you give someone the access to your bitcoin wallet or address.

I think that there's a different point of view when it's with the ones who focuses in real estate. They'll say the same thing with what we're saying about bitcoin for being secure because for them it's tangible. But as for the taxes, it's not exempted because if the time comes when we sell the bitcoin we're holding, that's capital gains for us and the government will require us to file for the taxes. There's no skip still for us but as an asset that's intangible, the good thing about it is that we can access it wherever we go unlike the real estate.

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?

As a newbie in bitcoin if i have the chance right now to invest, I will most definitely go for a landed property. Even if it is in a developing area, in 5 years, it must have been worth more than I bought. It going to give me more confidence than bitcoin because, most of the time there is need for knowledge in the area of investment. 

[Su-asa]

The main reason why I would go for Bitcoin is because you can start investing with any amount you have using the DCA strategy, you don't really need to wait until you have a huge capital before investing in it but landed properties are different because even if you want to buy a plot of land you still need a substantial amount of money first before you can make that investment. It is important to invest in both so you don't put all your eggs in one basket but for starters Bitcoin is better especially if you don't have enough Capital.

Sure the security and freedom of ownership with bitcoin is what could be the only advantage of bitcoin as against other tangible assets like real estate properties, as for tax sure the government in my country is beginning to ask for personal income tax, this new tax law beat rhe tax avoidance of the old through bitcoin.

Yes Bitcoin will be my investment option because of its high importance, low risk features and consistency when it has to do creating a room for financial stability to those willing to gain that.
Because of the unavailability of employment opportunities,  the rate of poverty has increased and many that made it did it because of the help of bitcoin and its still ready and willing to do more to those ready.  Among all the investment options available now, to me i think bitcoin is the best and most reliable one, although it is not that others are not good but it all depends on choice and likeness because what is good for me may not be good for the other person.

You know, I think you are right. I used to push this idea of Bitcoin too hard on many people in the past, and now I'm glad they didn't listen. "To each his own" as they say. After all, investing in real estate and gold can be profitable. It's not like you will fail for sure if you invest in them.  And investing in Bitcoin can be too dangerous for them. "One man's meal is another man's poison".

[Shinpako09]

That's a tough one because both are good investments. Landed properties are one of the most highly recommended investments if you ask most people, and I couldn't agree more. Depending on the location, the value usually improves as time passes.

As for crypto, there's no question about its potential as long as you don't invest in new coins and stick to Bitcoin and other top altcoins. If I had to choose just one, I'd go with crypto. I believe it has the potential to yield more profit compared to landed properties.

If we're talking purely about profit, I think $1 million worth of Bitcoin or crypto could appreciate more over five years than $1 million worth of landed property.

Of course that is right considering how the market reacts over time or considering how the bitcoin halving doubles prices whenever the halving occurred, it often creates different ATHs.
But landed property can appreciate the way bitcoin could double its price over the time because location also matters and if the landed property is not in well situated and developed area then there are no possibility for the price to quickly increase or doubled itself in the next 4 years as bitcoin does.

In my opinion, there is no single asset that is the best for everyone, and every asset has its own strengths and weaknesses. And the best asset is the one that best fits your goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

We are all different. Our preferences, interests, and financial situations are not the same. It would be a bit selfish to call someone an idiot just because they do not think the same way we do or make the same choices we make.


Bitcoin, gold, stock, and real estate are all solid asset, and each of them has its own potential.

If I'm talking about Bitcoin to anyone, I'm offering Bitcoin as an option without trying to convince anyone, not even a close family relation to take on an investment that is highly volatile. It is something I will totally avoid, I prefer sticking with the phrase "Oh, If you feel like" and not trying to push a direct narrative why they must/should invest in Bitcoin.

to be fair, bitcoin carries more risk than traditional investment, but the tradeoff is that it also offer greater upside

Bitcoin does not help anyone by itself, nor can it solve unemployment or poverty. All it really does is create an environment with both opportunities and risks. those who know how to seize the opportunity and manage the risks will be rewarded, and those who do not will not.

i agree with Su-asa. bitcoin is the best choice for most of us because we can start with almost any amount of money we have. in other words, it fits our financial situation, not our personal preferences.
