There is a halving coming next year to which many people who know and have bitcoins have set a target of the amount they hope to have in their holding by the time the bull run begins. I like to know if with this knowledge of bitcoin halving coming, if anyone is investing in anything other than bitcoins. I do not mean alt-coin but things like Real Estate, stocks, bonds etc. I know that Real Estate is good to invest in, but asides real estate, what else are you risking the money you should to invest more in bitcoins on?
It is always smart to diversify your money. As much as I love Bitcoin, I also invest in other things, but I still prefer the majority of my investments to be in Bitcoin. Everything else is kind of a side-investment, really. Basically I do somewhat put all my eggs in one basket.
I am still willing to bet most on Bitcoin knowing that some risks, intrinsic within traditional investments, can be avoided with Bitcoin.
Real Estate is obviously a meaningful investment, but as with any investment, it could fluctuate greatly in value and ultimately cost you too much money to maintain. So any investment always has risk at the core and there is always the risk of losing everything at any time.
While I do agree with your point on diversifying money I do the same, your reply showed and emphasized to me how each of us thinks differently based on our own situations and stands. Basically, while you put most of your money/investment in Bitcoin, I do that on my investment in education. Now, I know some may see it weird as I stated education to be an investment, however for me education is an investment as it allows me to get knowledge and develop skills that I can use for my other actual investments as well as businesses and work. For me, Bitcoin is a side investment as I only put a small percentage of my investment money there. However, I do understand your point and the points of those who chose to invest in real estate more. Perhaps in the future, once I get the knowledge and skills I know that I need, I'll be switching it up to either Bitcoin or a good business. However, for now I'd stick to my "investment" in education.
