Depends whether you think long term or short term. BTC is maybe better for instant profit, stockmarket for long term investments.

I would say that it would be something closer to the opposite of this. The stock market is unlikely to have sudden large dips in price while it can also offer a steady income stream.

Bitcoin on the other hand can have large, violent price swings, crashes happen often and the price can often take a long time to recover back to precrash levels. It will however likely have long term value

Always spread your investments, don't bet on 1 horse.
Bitcoin still is a risky investment but with potentially a big return.
Stockmarket is low right now, will get higher, I think, but there is no BIG return.

The stock market in its current form is the result of constant adaptation to economic fluctuations - in any type of economy, you can make money hand over fist. Don't forget to look at foreign market index options if you are not comfortable taking any of the numerous positions available in domestic securities, as they are less likely to be volatile in relation to our country's swings. I have to agree that Bitcoin is a worthy candidate for investment, but being that it is still based largely on speculation (vs. underlying assets, earnings, utility, and the fact that it also lacks regulatory backings aka credibility) it wouldn't be wise to place a large weight of your portfolio into the "idea".

Pay attention to emerging markets across the globe and try not to get caught up in the down trends in the EU or the U.S. On another note, Bitcoin lives and dies at the hands of adoption that will only come from accessibility and utility. The current Proof-of-Work environment for Bitcoin carries with it an adopted wealth distribution imbalance which historically causes monetary systems to fail or be overhauled. Keep your head in the cryptocurrency loop and wait for the adaptation of the economy to generate a solution.

and 7 other reasons to expect a 30-50% downturn in the stock market in 2015:

Bitcoin may languish in 2015 or take off at the end of 2015 in market anticipation for the 2016 halving.

Even if you don't invest in Bitcoin, stay away from stocks for the time being.

well you can always go short.

I like to take risks, therefore I will go with Bitcoin until I get bitten. Then I may retreat into the stock market.

You'll eventually get bitten.. just dont get eaten.

The stock market is well-known and you know what to expect, slow steady profits or non at all.
While Bitcoin is less well-known and we don't really know what to expect? But, the possibility of large profits is there!
Make you choice, its up to each of us to decide our trading fate.

How long can you hold your investments for? If you are looking for a 3-month investment, I would suggest these guys:

https://www.havelockinvestments.com/order.php?symbol=7C

The exchange operates in Coin, and you get paid in coin, so there is a lot of gain potential, and there is a good option to get a large stake in the company.

i would choose bitcoin as for my project thats really amazing invest
for short or long term project

Bitcoin is a long term investement indeed , but Stocks can be short period investement and you can earn thousands but also you can lose thousands just like that and in a second . It's really not that easy to predict the prices etc ...
Bitcoin can be a very good investement if we are sure that nothing goes bad (govermeents start blocking the cryptoo currency etc ) the price should be good and inscreasing by each block reward halving

personally i prefer stock market or forex market
because in cryptomarket you don't know when a coin dead and you lost all your money

You don't know either when a company goes bankrupt and you lose all your money.

This whole question is premised upon a false dichotomy. Of course you should diversify your portfolio.
The question remains as to how you should and it doesn't necessarily involve the stock market. The stock market is dangerously overpriced at the moment so I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot poll.

Remember that you need to subtract 2 different forms of theft when calculating net profit of investments in stocks: Inflation 5-8%US and 15% tax theft on profits.

My advice would be to invest in these things:

1- a couple months of spending fiat(which will allow you to leverage the volatility of Bitcoin and never spend or sell your bitcoins at a loss)
2- Some gold
3- Property and owning your own home in a low tax area (perhaps not if real estate is overly priced in your location)
4- paying off all your debts
5- Your own skills and education(but not overly priced universities)
6- Long term food storage; a 12 gauge shotgun and ammo(at min)
7- Your own personal business plans to become independent
8- steadily buying Bitcoin on the dips

Do this before stocks/bonds ect... and you will be far better off.

BTC should not be more than a small portion ogf yr portfolio. Not either or.
Price will either skyrocket or go to zero. You need a 7-10 yr holding period.
