Right now if I have a piece of land lying somewhere undeveloped, I will be seriously thinking of selling it to take advantage of this current btc price. Landed property is as good as owing btc in your wallet because both of them both have long term value, lands don't usually depreciate in value except there is a natural disasater happening in that location that will force the price to devalue.
We already know how btc operates, so this is kinda tough since i would like to have them both, i will probably sell a part of the land to buy btc.  Wink

I am in this exact situation. I really would've tried selling my house and lot if not for my mother living with me at the moment. Although my property is located in a developing big city and its value keeps on increasing, I am still optimistic that bitcoin at its current price is a huge opportunity and it will provide me a better and faster return on investment. After many years of experience and observing the market, we seem to have more familiarity with the bitcoin cycle.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

You've only explained the positive or advantageous side of bitcoin, but mostly you haven't thought of the risk side of it, like, for example, the bear market that is happening right now, and if you already bought bitcoin around $20,000, then I am sure you've lost money. Comparing the two is difficult for me because they both have advantages and disadvantages, so we can't really compare them. For example, land value will increase year after year, but your problem now is finding buyers, and the paperwork takes a long time to process and requires a lot of effort. You can buy bitcoin while you're in bed, but the easier it is to buy, the easier it is to lose your money, so the greater the profit, the greater the risk.

Landed property value reaches certain value and beyond that it won't go high, whatever the development happening around.

With bitcoin more the demand and the limited supply keeps the market progressing in all means. Even at critical market condition the price could reach its ath as the market is dependent over the technology and not the surrounding growth.

If we compare the two, then this will be difficult. Because in my opinion, these two types of investment are worthy and promising investments. Imagine, usually, investment in landed property is also a very good investment, right? the price tends to rise, even if there is a failure, but mostly it will usually increase. In Bitcoin too, when we already know the bearish and bullish phases, we know that Bitcoin investment is also very useful and worthy. That's why, if we can invest in both, why not? We only need to collect money and manage it smartly and wisely, so that we won't get caught up in fake investments or scams.

It's crystal clear that Bitcoin is a bit ahead of landed property in some aspect.
1.In terms of using Bitcoin as medium of exchange, 
Bitcoin is not far better than landed property, because the investment of Bitcoin is have what we know as fluctuations why landed property only appreciate yearly and monthly without any break, so the difference between landed investment is different from Bitcoin investment, because theirs more risk in Bitcoin price depreciation why land keep going on everytime. Only thing that we can use to regards Bitcoin more better is because of it's constantly bullish market per annual.

It is depending on the place the person is residing. Some people who has not heard about bitcoin in their life will always tell you that landed property is the best. Some people who live where it is very expensive to buy a land will tell you that bitcoin is the best because it affordable.
Everyone has their preferences according to their environment. For example, see this post that someone wants to sell their house and buy bitcoin. If the land and house investment was profitable for the person, would they want to sell it and get bitcoin?

Faster D.O.R
Faster Dividend Of Return is one advantage of Bitcoin over landed properties, as one who invests in Bitcoin now(bear run) will be smiling in no time as there might be possible Bull run before the end of next year.

Can you elaborate more on this "faster dividend on return" thing? I don't understand it.
So you are saying that profiting from the Bitcoin bull run can be called "faster dividend of return"? Can't we just call it return of investment (ROI)? Bitcoin isn't a corporation and Bitcoin doesn't pay out dividends to shareholders. That's why using the term "dividend" in one sentence with Bitcoin seems wrong to me.
Anyway, there's no point comparing BTC to investments in real estate. They are just too different.
In my country, the real estate market is going up and that's the only good thing about the place where I live.

Easy Sorting
Bitcoin can be easily sorted for as compared to lands which in some cases, takes some time to sort at a land to meet a buyer's specification and budget.

Availability
Bitcoin also as compared to land has also been readily available for purchase at all time as compared to land which might be exhausted or not available at a particular area when needed at a particular time

Ease Of Trading
Buying and selling of Bitcoin can easily be done from the comfort of one's bed, which isn't the case with landed properties as it is difficult most time to sort for potential buyers and also sellers at some points and time.

Faster D.O.R
Faster Dividend Of Return is one advantage of Bitcoin over landed properties, as one who invests in Bitcoin now(bear run) will be smiling in no time as there might be possible Bull run before the end of next year.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

Even if the Bitcoin has many advantages over land investment, most of the people int country choose the later for investment. Let me list some reasons for this:
1) Most important thing is mindset. It took years for people to understand that land investment gives very good returns. It is now rooted in the mind of people as their parents used to discuss this in homes, they saw this in news and internet. It is very hard to remove this conditioning and replace land investment with a new form of investment like bitcoin.
2) It might sound ridiculous but people here boast of the properties they own. It is a matter of social status. On the other hand, even if you own a lot of bitcoin or other crypto, no one else will come to know about it. I know the idea to feel proud this way is stupid but we cannot change the way society operates. This is the way people think here.

However, gradually things will change and people here will also understand the benefits of crypto over land investment.

Both are two different kind of assets, one is high risk and the other one is low risk.

If we invest in landed property the price will slowly goes up with time, is a really good investment for a long term. But if we buy Bitcoin then it can multiply the investments in some days, but this high risk means we could get big profit or a huge loss in the way.

Some people buy btc at $500 and now is at $18,500, and some other buy at $50,000 and now they lose more than 50% of their investment.

if you have the funds for both, why not? diversification your portfolio is always recommended when you are talking about investments. real-estate is one of the tangible assets that is great to get a hold of because as you said, its value increase over time. and if you are here in crypto market, bitcoin is one of the best coins that you can hold because of its potential. you just need to know when is the right time to sell your btc.
If do have the money or financial capacity or capability then i would definitely be dealing with both things which we know that real estate or somewhere in correlation do really appreciates over the years.

Although it would really be depending on the property that you have bought because not all properties or lands would really be ending up valuable in due time but there's always high potential
as we can see in todays situation where it does really actually happen or could really be that possible.

Be wise on your investment and dont limit yourself out on few industries but rather acquiring lots as much as you could as long you do have the money to invest on.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?

To be honest with you, I would rather invest in both of them, in as much as bitcoin investment has some edge over investing in landed properties, investment in land can be very profitable too one if lucky enough of find a very cheap one in an area that develop fast.

As a Nigerian, in November 2020, I bought 1 plot of land in my area here for #600k naira, as of now, November 2022, that is 2 years, somebody bidder asked to pay #3m naira for the same land and I refused because I didn't buy the land to sell it...

So land investment can be really profitable just the same way Bitcoin investment is, just be sure to get one in a good area.
So for me, with my experience, I will rather have both, that is invest part of my income on Bitcoin and invest the remaining part on landed properties.. This is a good way to diversify ones portfolio.

Not sure this will always prove to be true. Bitcoin's certainly proven to be long-term appreciative, but if you're talking about "faster", I know where I live property has been going up for over a decade, and yes, even slowing down now because of the economy, but still positive. It's of course dependent on location and demand but my neighbour, for example, is selling this year (in a bad economy) at over 130% appreciation from when he bought in 2017.

Use that time-frame and Bitcoin would have been 300%, but only if you caught it for that beautiful brief ATH period.

I really don't think this possible bull run before end of 2023 will recapture ATH.

* Easy sorting
You can say that now because its ease of accessibility is increasing by the day. I can tell you for free it wasn't as easy as it's now buying Bitcoin in the past. Let's say the early days of Bitcoin with limited exchanges and outlets to buy from. A lot of those who wanted to invest then got swindled. Perhaps, those licensed property agents who are digitalized won't find it difficult with sorting unlike those who do theirs manually.

* Ease of Trading
The same as sorting issue. There are many interested traders (buyers and sellers) now and that makes it almost seamless transacting in Bitcoin.

I bet you need to buy at the wrong time to experience that it isn't all rosy with Bitcoin too in terms of profit making. Those who bought at ATH of $68k+ are still sobering up from that experience.

You can get bitcoin with just the amount of money you wish to purchase it, like $50 worth of bitcoin. You may not have up to the amount of money you need to purchase land. People that do not have the money for land can go for bitcoin.

Land increase in value. Bitcoin increase in value. Both are worth buying.

If someone knows about bitcoin, he would likely have bought it before buying land because he can use any amount of money to buy it unlike while land.

You have a point but still, when it comes to assurance, especially agricultural lands can give you more income if you know how to manage it rather than waiting for the crypto market to rise. When you say about selling it, yes! you are right it's hard to sell land nowadays because of low demand since only a few people can afford it. But when it comes to securing your property, I think it depends on some places where there are places lands are more precious than diamonds and in some places, it is considered ordinary assets since they can buy some at lower prices.

I couldn't answer this poll because my answer isn't in the answer bank of options.  I wouldn't necessarily want either bitcoin or land over one another, I would and do want both.  When it comes to investing, you need to diversify your assets, and these two assets really have nothing to do with one another.  

Diversification is key, own land, bitcoin, stocks, bonds, precious metals etc etc.   If you need to build a house , you should buy land.  If you're looking for an alternative investment/asset, maybe bitcoin is your answer.

It is true that Bitcoin includes all the features you mentioned compared to real estate or land and more than that as well, but in the end it remains virtual and not material and many people do not trust to put all their money in something virtual even if it has many features and a great future like Bitcoin, personally I prefer to split my money equally between bitcoin and real estate or land because we need tangible physical things on the ground, I can't risk all my money on something virtual.
Good idea but both have different purposes so it's just normal to have them both. Any investors will choose that way even if they say it's safe to invest in Bitcoin but diversifying your money to make a safe investment is a wise choice. Although, the risk is always present but it's the only way I think people can make their money not to get affected by the depreciation.

Still a land property is a good way to make your money grow over the year and Bitcoin investment is somewhat new but it's kinda safe if you know what you are doing.

Being virtual is a big thing that keeps bitcoin usage down. With time people will understand. Even the common man who haven't got much of education about technology have begun to use digital wallets through smartphone. So, they're aware of the virtual usage and aren't prepared to believe something that is virtually available. We're in the transition period and soon this turns to be common.

Bitcoin also as compared to land has also been readily available for purchase at all time as compared to land which might be exhausted or not available at a particular area when needed at a particular time

We all say that land can be exhausted but decades have passed, centuries have passed and there are still land everywhere. In fact where there is no land is being turned to land and there are so many undeveloped areas.
Land is still fixed also bitcoin is fixed at 21 million, so both of them is fixed and can be exhausted according to your ideology.
It is because they are fixed in supply that is what means both of them good option of investment. If you can manage them 50/50 it would be a win-win situation for you in the future.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?

In my opinion both bitcoin and Real Estate are two excellent investments that every investor should hold in his portfolio. Investing in properties is a good way to store value and get a monthly rent payment, the problem is that it requires a lot of capital and it locks it down for a long period of time. With bitcoins we also have a good way to store value and it's very liquid, we can easily sell holdings if we need cash. In case I had two choose between one of the two I would go with bitcoins. There is much more upside potential with bitcoins, the price is much closer to its 52 week low, whereas property prices are still very expensive at the moment. The problem I have with real estate is that interest rates are rising sharply at the moment, which is going to make financing more difficult. I would wait for property prices to come down before making an investment.
In my country, there is no history of property prices decreasing, considering that more and more people need it, while land does not increase, and it is certain that property prices will always go up, but with high prices, not everyone can afford it even though it has low risk. different from bitcoin which can be bought according to our ability, but if we do not understand it will have a high risk

1.In terms of using Bitcoin as medium of exchange,
2.More liquid than landed property, that is buyers/sellers are readily available unlike land.
3.And too in terms of land dispute and one could loose his/her land in court.

While disadvantage in Bitcoin is that your dollar value in Bitcoin may devalue some time holding Bitcoin due to bear market while for landed property it will appreciate over time.

Therefore comparing this two asset together, For me it makes total sense to own the two asset class.

It totally depends on law of target country where you buy that land. In some countries its far easy to convert land statuses or just build something on it and get rents/profit etc. But in some countries laws are very hard to pass. In my country as example laws generally protect renter not owner. Sometimes its hard for land owner to generate money through it because of laws. That's why I personally prefer buying Bitcoin to land. Bitcoin is far more liquid anyways.

You have already outline some importance of both but to me landed properties appreciate over the time and doesn't Waves in price instead keeps increasing every month/year as an investor I would love to have landed property and bitcoin as well reason because if you missed any opportunities you will leave to regret of not having any.
E.g,
You could acquire a portion of land this year at $5k to my local currency, by next one month or two, that same land will be sold for $5.3k even more because the demand is high, the available space is very minimal. But somehow bitcoin can been liken or taken to be seasonally though the prices depends  on bull/bear.
For instance, those who bought at $68k per bitcoin are still shading tears for the serious lost and can only recover whenever we gain another ATH if such persons is not patient enough might ended up selling off, although the real investor will as well sees the bear as an opportunity to maximize his chances of buying and hold more to recover their lost. So is essential to hold to hold the both asset as an investment but basically bitcoin can be considered to be for a long term investment.

Both are a good asset land property is a real estate asset and you can use it physically and it will get fixed price over a period of time but in this case its price is more likely to go up than down and land property price is rarely seen to go down whereas bitcoin is a digital currency.  And it goes up and down all the time and one has a high-risk but also the possibility of huge profit from it is much higher than real estate. But if one doesn't go all in on Bitcoin, investing in real estate can be a solid investment.

Landed property is always a good choice of investment, depending upon the growth happening around the respective property the price will increase. This increase could be even higher than that of the growth with bitcoin in some places. Whenever we make an investment over landed property, we need to get atleast 10% out of the investment every year. This isn't possible with most landed property. For this reason bitcoin seems to be the best.

Nowadays people are more aware about investment opportunities. This have made them go for diverse investment than just focusing on a specific area. Now people are equally considering gold, property, gold, stocks.

You've laid out what you think are the advantages but I still think comparing bitcoin and landed property investment is like apples and oranges. They serve their own purpose. One is like a source of active income since you still have to trade to realize an income while the other is passive.

....What will you rather invest in and why?
I like to have them both to be honest.
I agree with this, while bitcoin is obviously very useful a property like a house allows you to live in it and have a place to call your own, which is very important, so if someone is faced with this problem and they only have money to get one of them then the correct choice will depend on their particular circumstances at the time, if you are married and you do not have a house already then picking the house is the one that makes the most sense to me, but if you already own a house or you are single then it makes sense to buy bitcoin instead as you do not really need the house at the moment.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
If I have enough bitcoins, I can definitely sell some off to buy a good land, or buy the land using some of my bitcoins for the transaction, that is making the transaction with crypto Grin. A good land that is strategic and will appreciate. Bitcoins can be very unpredictable, unlike lands that you know if it is a good place will be a good investment surely(more predictable than bitcoins).

This doesn't mean that I will let myself off without no bitcoins, I wouldn't even buy a land when i don't have enough bitcoins, bitcoin is a must have and must keep especially in expectation of the bull season.

I'm a strong advocate of Bitcoin, but one of my goals is to buy land with Bitcoin. My plan is to have both, as I believe they relate to one another in the sense that one Bitcoin will always be one Bitcoin and a plot of land will always be a plot of land, so you should have both and you should also have Gold.

Much like Bitcoin, a plot of Land will always increase in value. But, it is more resistant to inflation and can provide you with goods and a place to grow food. Bitcoin on the other hand allows you to escape the current and mainstream dependency on banks and protect your money against state censorship. Both have their virtues and their downsides. As the old saying goes, a good investor always tries to have a diversified portfolio, and having these two is crucial.

To keep the comparison clear, this questions would help; would you sell bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy bitcoin? They both have disadvantages and advantages but, the comparison would have been better if both are digital properties like Bitcoin and domain names. The issues with bitcoin include volatility, fud, fomo, loss etc and land may have an earthquake, flood and market crash too. The advantages of owning a land may not be compared to the advantages of owning bitcoin as the bull run can yield massive profits. While the price of land increase too you'll have to settle the land broker, lawyer and sometimes the government after selling a land. Such doesn't occur in selling bitcoin, a little fee and you are good. I'd go for both like everyone else.

Well understood, but you also sounded like you're seating on the fence, I used the suggestion you made yesterday but I kept reading your message and it seems you'll rather invest in Bitcoin over land.
The sincere truth is, I'm not sure if anyone will easily reject an offer to own both assets if given the opportunity to do so, but the question in this context, was referring to a situation when you have to choose just a single option, regardless of their ups and downs and also know that they're both nice investments. What then will you prefer to fully Invest in over the other.

I would invest in both. However, as we know, investing in Bitcoin is easier than investing in real estate. You can start with as little as $10 for investing in bitcoin and DCA it as you go but in real estate, it is either you have the money or you don't and since the price of a piece of land appreciates. Investing in Bitcoin and then in real estate is like having two-factor authentication for wealth creation.
It's simple. If we have a lot of money then diversifying is the key. We can invest not only in these two assets but we can also include the others which are not described here. Assets such as gold, stocks, forex, bonds and so on. In terms of accessibility, I think bitcoin is much easier since it was online and divisible.

You can invest on it at any amounts but most of what I mentioned earlier must have a minimum and you might need to do something before owning them, like signing up. It's a either a contract or in the platform and then you must complete your KYC first but there are decentralized exchanges and p2p where can buy btc easily.

As other posters have already suggested, comparing two completely different investment choices like Bitcoin and real estate is of no use. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Bitcoin cannot provide you with a passive income; its volatility is what can make it worth a fortune in the future, but it's unable to provide you with a steady cash flow.

Honestly, I believe that real estate is one of the best investments someone can make. There are quite a few alternative options with properties too. You can flip them for profit, rent them out and enjoy having a steady passive income, put them up on Airbnb if you're in a touristy area, or a combination of all these.

Both are great investments; however, it's no use comparing them. Bitcoin serves another purpose, and real estate serves another. Owning both would be the best of both worlds.

I would love to buy a property in a village where vegetation and minerals are rich.  Also, if the property includes a good source of varieties of foods. or near where the source of food can be found. Grin.  Cheaper price with a secured source of food I believe is what I am looking for.
Don't forget looking for a clean water source as well. Clean water is the most valuable natural resource in the world. If you manage to acquire a property with this characteristic, half of your problems are already solved.

And from water you can raise and grow anything: vegetals or animals!

Depends on the first one that you buy. If you do not own your own house, it’s always better to have a house, so if you could ever get enough money to buy your first ever house and live in it, then it would be the best investment.

I was lucky enough that both my parents and my wife’s parents helped us to get our own house and that’s awesome, but after that I do not think that a second house is really worth it. I personally believe that the best thing to do would be making sure that you are profiting good enough in the long run with easily liquidated assets like stocks or gold or crypto over real estate. Crypto is the best of them for sure, and that’s why I am buying bitcoin constantly.

First of all its a wrong comparison, bitcoin is digital asset while the landed property is physical which can be both liability or asset depends on what we are using. Property is not easily liquified while bitcoins can be converted into fiat in just a matter of minutes so I would like to vote for both since both serves good stability to our portfolio value.

It doesn't make sense to compare Bitcoin and Landed property, both of them are good option for investment and they have their own disadvantages. Do you think put all of your money to one investment asset is a good idea? Nope, that's mean you're never learn about risk management.

I will choose both of them since I invest on both Bitcoin and Landed property, but most of my money goes to Bitcoin since I'm really trust with Bitcoin and the future journey.
Investing in a right time and amount can lead to many profitable investment. It's good to have both as an investment. If there are opportunities to acquire properties then grab the chance provided you study the location and possible future value of the land. Many aims to have their future home and some dream of having big farm lots,  it's a good investment until we see it's potential for future returns since land value increases in time.

If we prefer trading and knowledgeable enough to get profit on it then focus first on trading until there is extra budget to buy other investment but make sure to atleast have your own home since the market isn't always about profit, as long as we know the risk we are taking when we invest either in land or in crypto.

To create wealth you have to diversify at all cost but bitcoin still backed by its network is well secured fromany firm of attack's not if you get your wallet details exposed to scammer's. Natural disasters and war can cause total destruction of houses and lands bit not bitcoin, not your details even if you get your phone or hard ware wallet stolen they can be retrieved as far as you can provide those phase.
Both are still good if I posses them both its a good thing for the future. But as much as you can buy enough bitcoin don't think or take this as joke

Both is good for investment and they standing different from other not really to be in comparison, they are apart. Bitcoin is not land and they have different advantage or disadvantage. Bitcoin like land are traded for income. We may know bitcoin as what asset to be trade , land also is traded because op is one of land agent and he knows how that is done that you can buy land today and hold it to resell and to cash out for profit. Bitcoin is also a fast profit but if you trading you can lose the value but the land value appreciate.

I would love to have both, and since I already bought landed property from my cryptocurrency earnings, I am now focused on accumulating BTC for further real estate investment (from BTC profit).  I believe investing in both assets won't go wrong.

I would personally prefer to buy bitcoin over a property which is located in a village. But I will prefer property over bitcoin, if the property is located in the city center where the government has planned for some future developments like metro rail, train lines or hospital etc. It's as simple as that! Property investment can fetch your astronomical returns as well if you purchase it wisely. So the comparison purely depends on that!

Your points are all about accessibility bitcoin has over land/property investment, which the exception of last point which refers to profitability, but then you ignore the volatility of crypto market, which can push bitcoin's price downside yet for a decent length of time, while when investing in lands, we are protected by the stability this kind of investment proportionate us. Lands don't rise 100% in price or more like bitcoin does in few years, but at least you are protected against inflation, volatility and depreciation, besides having an area to produce something for survival or profit.

I would equalise both of them and if I have to consider few major factors such as volatility and appreciation value then it could hamper my decisions in terms of “ratio” that I choose to invest in both of them. For example, bitcoin is highly volatile but at the same time it is far more appreciating in value as compared to landed property. No one can agree more on this one consider the history of 10-13 years for bitcoin. However, to secure myself loosing into the world of investment and becoming broke I would always choose both option. I might put more money into bitcoin and some of the securities in landed one.

I see that people often try to draw comparison between two different assets which can't be concluded logically. This is one of such comparisons. When someone buys a physical property, a lot of factors go in there! It's not just a brick and mortar establishment. It also about where the property is purchased and when. The ROI from a property depends on multiple factors unlike bitcoin. So the comparison itself is invalid.

I would personally prefer to buy bitcoin over a property which is located in a village. But I will prefer property over bitcoin, if the property is located in the city center where the government has planned for some future developments like metro rail, train lines or hospital etc. It's as simple as that!

Bitcoin can not be compared with land in some ways but honestly speaking, both have their own role likewise benefits too. Bitcoin has much more value attached to it, Bitcoin is a global entity recognized for it's value worldwide. It has every potential of price increase speedily compared to the other because already, it has been tagged a store of value as a digital gold so therefore this has boasten the use case which gives it edge over other assets. However, landed properties are quite alright. It is worth investing and appreciate with time and importance attached to it. Most times, landed properties depreciates unlike Bitcoin which keeps increasing irrespective of the bear market. Landed properties would need constant maintenance which requires funds which in some cases might not be available which is the contrary in Bitcoin. When you buy Bitcoin, you have purchased it there is nothing like maintenance for Bitcoin but a landed property would definitely need such as time goes on.

Landed properties takes much time to sort out just as OP has said which would require some process which is time consuming and stress compared to Bitcoin which just requires your transacting via Crypto exchanges.

On a good ground, I would prefer Bitcoin  because I already know what it Is. I Bitcoin gradually is getting recognition globally which in the end would boasten the price very much in less than no time.

I agree.

They do have their own purpose but it will entirely depends on an individual capabilities on managing whatever he will choose. It's true that Bitcoin easier to manage, and could easily be kept where people wouldn't know it exist in your property. The only disadvantage of landed properties for me is that they are too vulnerable for anyone who wants to claim it's theirs, especially if we're talking about greedy government officials, or worst case scenario, terrorist or bad people who are willing to kill others just to get that property.

It is worth investing in both of them as they are good investments, but it would be unwise to invest in only one of them and not diversify the portfolio as a whole. But I think most people here would choose bitcoin because real estate investment requires a lot of capital and needs to be held for a very long time before it becomes profitable. honestly if I had a lot of money I would invest most of it in land and only a little bit in bitcoin, bitcoin offers high returns but risks are not small and there is no 100% guarantee.

I invested in both as part of diversifying my investments. For the last 10 years, bitcoin investment has performed well compared to real estate. The good thing about real estate is you can seldom experience a drop in value, it continues to grow over the years although slowly. There are places where real estate is a sure thing investment, especially in the cities and places with huge populations where land is scarce. Bitcoin, on the other hand, can rise at an unimaginable percentage but during a bearish season, it can also drop more than 50% of its value which can cause panic, especially among its new investors.

when buying a house. you are not just buying a house
you are then paying a property insurance premium, maintenance costs, county/state tax

when you buy bitcoin, thats it. you bought it, no more ongoing costs to keep it

also the "multiplier" of inflation of house prices is small. yes over 10 years you could multiply your initial investment. but with bitcoins 4 year cycles the amount increases more than in housing

as other said in housing you have to buy the whole building or take a loan to pay it off in piecemeal, but then you have interest ontop you have to pay for
where as bitcoin you just buy as much sats of a bitcoin you want

This type of comparison only works when at least one option is considered a bad investment like comparing bitcoin with altcoins then decide which one to invests in. But when both options are viable then the comparison is wrong.

You should consider them both at the same time. In fact the best way to invest your money is to diversify which means finding assets that have nothing in common (their markets are not linked) and investing in all. Meaning if you buy both bitcoin and land, things that affect bitcoin price do not affect land price and vice versa which makes them both good options for diversification.

Of course generally speaking you should educate yourself in both fields to know how to invest, where to invest (eg. land location), when to invest and how to secure your investment (eg. cold storage).

OP, you should have added an option for "both" .....because people should have a balanced investment portfolio, that contains a mix between "low" / "medium" / "high" risk investments. The investor should decide what percentage of funds should be invested into each category.

I prefer to have an aggressive portfolio, where I invest say 40% into low risk investments and also 40% into high risk investments like Crypto currencies. Only 20% goes into medium risk investments .... but other investors might decide to have a more conservative investment portfolio, with much less invested into Crypto currencies.

I don't see an option for both in the poll?
So, not everyone can afford to buy a land and develop it  in a year. That's the main reason why a lot of people would prefer Bitcoin, because it's always available in the market and you will be able to buy fractions of it until you acquire a whole.
Land property takes time to develop. Once you purchase a property, you won't be expecting any return for the next 2-5 years depending on your capital and how you develop it to create a passive income stream.
it would be a wise decision if you start with Bitcoin.

I will rather invest in Bitcoin in this bearish season than landed property, because landed property use to take a long process before you can get the necessary documents that will make the property legal for you to use compared to Bitcoin investment, both the new and the old investors can invest in this bearish season, and have hope of achieving something good before the end of this year. There are some signs already in the crypto market that showed that there is a big hope for Bitcoin investors, because the price of Bitcoin will definitely increase higher in this month of November to remain stable through out the Christmas and new year celebration to enable long term investors to experience favour from their investment.

In the recent past, those who were first to discover new land and cultivate it investing their time and effort were considered its rightful owner and had a right to defend it as if they had always lived there. Once it is discovered and ennobled by human actions, it becomes the private property of those who mixed his sweat with the soil. Nowadays, we have no new lands to be acquired this way; instead, you either buy it from others or receive it as a gift "for free." With Bitcoin, however, it is still possible to be an original discoverer of private property. Mining is the process by which you can discover new bitcoin: in order to establish your property rights, you must prove that you put some effort when finding it, and once the proof is shown to others, you can start defending your property by protecting private keys to newly-found bitcoins. In this sense, bitcoin completely replaced land.

You're on the winning side if you've got assets in real estate/properties and as well as holding some bitcoin. You're an actual investor if you have these assets as these are the greatest assets that an individual can have. There's no need to choose from any of them, if you can prioritize a land first or bitcoin first, you choose it but it's better if you're aiming to own both of it because it's going to make your life easier if you own these appreciating assets, for real!

Easy Sorting
Bitcoin can be easily sorted for as compared to lands which in some cases, takes some time to sort at a land to meet a buyer's specification and budget.

Availability
Bitcoin also as compared to land has also been readily available for purchase at all time as compared to land which might be exhausted or not available at a particular area when needed at a particular time

Ease Of Trading
Buying and selling of Bitcoin can easily be done from the comfort of one's bed, which isn't the case with landed properties as it is difficult most time to sort for potential buyers and also sellers at some points and time.

Faster D.O.R
Faster Dividend Of Return is one advantage of Bitcoin over landed properties, as one who invests in Bitcoin now(bear run) will be smiling in no time as there might be possible Bull run before the end of next year.

Will you sell Bitcoin to buy a land or sell a land to buy Bitcoin?
What would you rather invest in?
