Topic: Bitcoin or Property? What might be the best investment? - page 9. (Read 2685 times)
Bitcoin is any place to use and easy to swap any national currency. It anytime to raise the price. Now all the people use water and keep the bitcoin for long periods of time. Bitcoin is too dicey to put all of your belongings on it. As soon as Bitcoin is accepted and recognized as a financial instrument / property / legal / anything, you can invest in it, but then again
If I had to choose one, it will be crypto. This is because buying and selling is easier there.
Split your money and invest 40% in Btc and the rest 60% goes to properties
Invest in both, that will bring some diversification.. Even if one fails, you will benefit from the other.
The market value of a property is increasing by year its count a year before you will have a interest unlike bitcoin it could change the value in a hour or a day. You will see increasing value in a minute and its continuing process. So for me bitcoin is the best investment.
It is better to have property than a lot of bitcoins. How can you live without a house and lot? or a car, etc.. It is good to have bitcoin, but if you choose between those two, I would better pick property than bitcoin.
I guess the OP was referring to all real estate rather than just residential apartments. And I would disagree with you on having own house. I am living in rented accommodation and I don't have an issue with it. It gives me more flexibility to relocate myself for better job offers.
Investments into both properties (Real Estate Investments) and bitcoin are both potential platforms that can generate any investor income but i prefer investment into bitcoin because it can take a real short time for you to earn massively but investment into properties really take a long time to generate income.
I will rather have an appartment in my own, than I will have a BTC in my wallet. Because an appartment is something so much more stable and trusted than BTC. Which can just loose the value to nothing.
Of course it is BTC. BTC is the fastest growing cryptocurrency in the world. If you invested 100$ in BTC in 2009 or 2010 you will be a Millionaire now. That's why I i think investment in BTC is better than property.

There are many countries or regions where I would prefer properties but right now the market is totally crashed and I guess its a great time to get into crypto.
Bitcoin and property investments have their own advantages and disadvantages, I think investing in property will be safer with less risk than you invest in bitcoin, but some people are now turning to bitcoin, because they see investment in Bitcoin very profitable even several times , despite having a high risk.
Because of the instability in the price of bitcoin and its current challenges I will prefer property acquisition to bitcoin investment. Just like Bitcoin Property also appreciate in values over time and it can be more profitable that bitcoin investment if properly located.
To me and which I know very well,It seems to me that investing in property is a very good idea because you can physically see where you putted your hardwork, Bitcoin is very good in investing if you want to rise your money after a few months though. As far as I know, investing in property is a long term goal.
We had a very interesting discussion over the weekend and people debated if it was better to invest in property or to invest in Bitcoin. The argument was as follows :
1. Most people cannot afford to buy property, so they take a home loan at a Bank. The home loan is paid back with interest and some of these loans are spread out over 20 years to make it affordable to the person who takes out the loan. So, over that 20 years the house of $100 000 will cost you say $1 000 000. {$900 000 paid in interest}
The argument is also that the property has to increase in value, with more than $900 000 for you to say that it was a good investment AND you have to sell that property to get that profit.
2. The other side of the room said it was better to rent a smaller property and to invest the "savings" into something like Bitcoin, because your profit will pay for a bigger deposit or even a whole property in a few years time.
I think paying a high interest rate to a Bank is just as bad as paying rent to a Landlord, because you are getting screwed in both these circumstances.
We all want to live in big houses that we cannot afford.
Oh come on, where did you get those interest rates ($900k interest for a loan of $100k)? This is absolutely unrealistic!1.

Then, the comparison of the banks' interest rate with rent to a landlord is also incorrect: after you have successfully paid out the loan you get the house/flat into your own PROPERTY, i.e. you can do whatever you want with it (give it to your offsprings, sell it at a higher price, take second mortgage credit, etc.).
So I would prefer taking loan and having a property instead of the possibility to lose all my money in a market crash.
I like both and even make them both my investment methods. I use bitcoin as a short-term investment method because the price of bitcoin is volatile or very fast changing. while my property is used as a long-term investment method because the price is relatively stable
Both Bitcoin and property ownership are good. It all depends on the wants of an individual. Properties can be given out as rent and continuously obtain money from them on periodically. Bitcoin offers investment opportunities which can yield sudden profit more than what a profit can give within five years.
If you are just going to buy a property to sell it again after a few years then you might want to choose btc over it. People buy property then wait so the value will increase every year and that's very long and also hard to sell but with bitcoin, you just need some 2 years before you get 100% ROI back.
Peoples want to buy property as their investment because they want relax with their investment. Bitcoin is new investment and its very risky because market movement very high, but its profitable in the future and its long term investment
Tough decision: BTC is riskier, but you know, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," so while my heart cries "Bitcoin," my mind keeps saying "Property."
I'd invest like 80% into Property, while 20% into BTC. Something like that, I guess.
I'd invest like 80% into Property, while 20% into BTC. Something like that, I guess.
I guess it makes sense: profitability of BTC is a lot higher than that of Property, so they should bring about the same income
if you are a beginner in terms of investment, it is better to start with bitcoin, because bitcoin can buy in small quantities, and you can get that easily, unlike the properties you need. the amount of money and too long waiting time before you make a profit and investing in a crypto currency will be a savings you in the future
