Stocks have no connection with bitcoin at all. CryptoCurrencies is a totally different platform than stoxks. The main reason for the increase is stock is mostly on different news about the business. While in crypto market other than ethereum news doesn't affect the price. And the people who are aware of stock market may not be knowing anything about crypto world. So it has no connection with bitcoin at all
The fact that bitcoin and stocks are not correlated assets, does in fact connect them somehow, let me explain, when stocks are not doing well, people feel unsafe about the state of the economy so the price of gold tends to go up, if stocks do well then gold tends to do poorly, the only reason this line of thinking still does not apply to bitcoin is because it is a very new market but eventually it will apply.

bitcoin is the safest for someone who wants to hold for long term though. stock trader always prefer the fiat when liquidating but its not going to grow anytime soon after it. one market that they could go though is the forex which they can greatly profit wherever the market is going, it however requires more skills on eyeing inflation.
I think the stock exchange and the bitcoin both are completely different, the nature of the business is maybe same, but the stock market will not relate to Bitcoin investment. I don't have much knowledge of this stock market, but I am learning. One thing is sure investing in the stock market will give you profit or not I don't know, but if you invest in bitcoin, it must give you profit.

Yes they are totally different. When you invest to stock market you are buying the stocks of the company, meaning you become one of the owners of that business.  Either you believe in their business or you see potential in the company.  In bitcoin investment you see potential that its value will grow because of its characteristics and benefits to all of us.  If everyone can see that good qualities and benefits of bitcoin system then its value will continue to rise.  We are just starting at the bitcoin economic life and everyday new people is learning bitcoin and new company is joining bitcoin. When we reached that stage of full bitcoin adoption then i just cant imagine how much its value by then.  Smiley

Theres an argument that a financial crisis could be good for not only BTC but for other cryptocurrencies as well. We have witnessed traditional investors' appetite for risk as shown in their willingness to directly join in ICOs. This means that they are open in investing in new types of wealth generators.

In the past few days many stock markets have fallen worldwide. There are many voices that expecting a strong correction and a coming bear market. I wonder if falling stock markets are good or bad for Bitcoin. Normally, money that is no longer invested in stocks is to flow into other assets. Bitcoin with its rapid rise would certainly be attractive. What do you think?

I don't think that stock markets and Bitcoin have any connection. Yes one may argue that people will ship their money from stock market waters to the rich shores of Bitcoins, but that's rare people who will be invested in Stock won't do that easily, global markets are facing uncertain times look at UK elections or Trumps comments, there a is a global caous the coming and what it will bring is spooking the markets.

Stock market is totally different from bitcoin. Peoples' investment to stock market contributes to the economy. Investment is  fuel to the economy. For some people like us we also put out money to bitcoin, partly for investment and partly because we see its bigger purpose. Decentralization is one of the biggest advantage of bitcoin where we bank on our own. No longer dependent to separate institution or bank. This is also the reason many of use get hooked into bitcoin.

Look ARROUND!
many still consider bitcoin a high risk investment. and they are not completely wrong, there is still some risks involved with investing in bitcoin. and the swings are still big and the market hard to predict. which is why there is never a big amount of money coming in. everyone always diversifies and invest a small amount in bitcoin because despite all the risks it is still the most profitable while secure asset to invest in.
It is a high risk investment because there is not that many people interested in holding their coins for the price of Bitcoin to go up compared to the amount of people that just want to spend Bitcoin online. If Bitcoin was treated as a collectible item then it would have a larger value.

Declining traditional stock market is GOOD for bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a hedge, thus it's a doomsday meter for the legacy financial markets.
It all depends upon how money wallet street money is flowing in to the crypto market and if that is true then we could see a big bubble in the market and make sure that it will burst within a short period as they are the masters of manipulation when it comes to investment. Cheesy

In my opinion bitcoin is completely independent of the stock market.

Most stock market investors don't see bitcoin as an alternative, nor do bitcoin users play in the stock market. There is no logical link to prove or deny that declining a stock market is good for bitcoin.

Rather than focusing on another field altogether you'll often find that news within bitcoin makes the most impact on the bitcoin price. For instance, hard forks, scaling debates etc. will often change the direction of the market extremely quickly, and so will regulations in countries.

In theory, money could flow from insecure stock market to BTC. However, the problem is crypto economy s currently also very unstable due to pending block size changes.  So I think something else might profit from this, maybe real estate markets.
Technically if people begin to see the stock market crash then the people that have that stock would start cashing their stocks out so they will cause the stock market to drop down further. Stock Markets are very dangerous because they don’t really have as much certification any more via paper, only a few people get them so the other people that do things electronically own nothing.

well even the have different target but still stocks can affect investors, and two things whether they will place their money into crypto and try to gain or full everything out and push crypto investors to follow the trend of removing their investment and wait.

as it is now bitcoin follow its own pattern, because until all the issue are fixed, the value will not accelerate regardless of what is happening outside of this world, in the forex or stocks world

all those things can only help the bitcoin value to grow but only after the important problems are solved, however we might get the standard pump and dump like has happened with grexit and all the other financial news regarding the "fiat money"

I can't find a definite correlation between stock market indexes and bitcoin, though it makes sense to say that when stock markets go down as a whole then bitcoin will go up somewhat because people are getting their wealth out of company stocks, and by just keeping the cash there does not yield them anything. So bitcoin is one of the logical alternatives. But bitcoin is ocmpletely unknown to most stock traders anyways, so until then we won't see as strong a correlation as say, USD and gold.

Declining stock markets--say what?  I guess I only follow the US, but the Dow & NASDAQ have been on a tear lately and certainly haven't been going down.  Are worldwide markets down?

Not exactly the biggest crash but around 2%(https://www.google.com.au/search?q=dow+index&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab&gfe_rd=cr&ei=RTVXWYiYHuTc8weVuoqYBA). And that's a lot for the stock market, 2% sounds like stability in bitcoin but for Dow, that's a whole lot....

I would think declining stock markets would be good for Bitcoin. People panic sell and look for other opportunities.

Bazinga!
usually when something like that happens the money goes into MULTIPLE other things. in the past years bitcoin started to be one of those things but it still is a small portion of the choices investors make. mostly because it is not regulated like those other assets.
in any case there will be some fresh money coming in but i wouldn't expect a big rise out of it specially with all the drama that is going on!
