Hello! Thank you for considering my topic: Compare Bitcoin to Other Investment Instruments (Stocks, Real Estates, Etc.)

What do you think are the main difference/advantage/disadvantage of Bitcoin when you compare it to the most common investment instruments like Stocks, Bonds, Real Estates, etc.

Thank you!

Comparison isn’t a good tool when it comes to the market, although bitcoin is a king on its own, it has its own flaws which other markets lack, which makes other markets better than it in some ways also.

Stock ,bonds, real states etc. thing that exist in physical can also be done in both but first and for all some coins started in crypto and theybwill only apply this in applications or things so that the things in physical maethod can be faster and improve more to catch up. I don't need ot compare because i do not take those advantage and disadvantage in a particular matter i only need to enhance it and both do in the same way.

Every investment will have their won advantages and disadvantages and these investments will have some risks as well. So individuals need to choose a proper investment based on how much risk they can take. Real estate will be the best option because it will surely give a good profit but it takes a long time to show the result. Bitcoins are more volatile and it gives an opportunity to make money both in short and longer term. To reduce my risks I like to invest in all of them some money.

The success of a particular investment also depends on how a trader or a investor will have the time to manage every transactions and earning that could be a part of your life. It is a good thing because it is a great part of development and growth to stay in a specific mode or way of transactions.

Currently, there are no investment assets that yield could compete with bitcoin. But you can never relax. This is a very risky method of investment. Nobody knows what will happen with bitcoin. I want bitcoin was the first currency and then Deposit the coin.

all of them have a different disadvantages and advantages but real estates had more slightly advantages between those investment because every years the price of Real Estates always be grow so the possiblity to loss your investment are pretty small rather than other investment but indeed the profit from Real Estates are special but not happened instantly and for long term investment only such as for next 10 or 20 years

well I don’t know about other currencies but according to me bitcoin is the best ever. Bitcoin is an independent currency that does not depend on any financial state but other investment instruments can be interfered by other financial state so for me bitcoin is the best currency and it is long lasting because the bitcoin currency is using since ten years so bitcoin is more trust worthy.

Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are fast becoming the stars of the investment world given how big the potential returns that they can generate. Of course the risk of volatility looms large but it is something that is really associated with such forms of investments. Big risks and big rewards go hand in hand. The traditional forms of investments are still good but they might take a back seat once bitcoin becomes more known outside of the bitcoin community.

Yes this true. Real estate don't grow like bitcoin. If you invest in real estate you will feel the profit when it step in 10-20 years, I mean the profit is not that big. But with bitcoin even you hold it for short, mid or long term the profit will still be good. That's why many investors are switching their assets into bitcoin as they see this as a great investment of all.

In terms of returns, Bitcoin easily defeats real estate and stocks. It has surpassed various traditional assets this year in terms of ROI. There are indeed some penny stocks that are highly volatile and have potential to give huge returns. But they are way too risky.

In terms of risk, Bitcoin might be considered risky by most of the people. But the truth is Bitcoin has proven to be less risky than stocks or real estate(after 2008 crisis). Bitcoin has always risen in long term if we go by analysing charts. With some patience, Bitcoin never fails to give huge returns.

But in terms of marketcap and acceptability, Bitcoin is way too behind stocks and real estate. This is mainly because of its decentralised nature. There is no proper awareness campaign or advertising.

I might not even consider Bitcoin as an investment in the first place, I may consider it as some kind of trading asset because of how it is more suitable for short term plays because of how volatile it is. Also it is pretty argumentative about being the "best in returns" as from stocks and real estates are different from each other, what I am trying to say is that not all stocks have the same returns to one another, same can be said to properties. If I were you, you must compare Bitcoin to a particular stock like Microsoft or Google perhaps. Because if you want to compare Bitcoin to Stocks you must be comparing the whole Crypto market instead.

I don't know from where you got the idea that Bitcoin isn't good for long term holding or investment. I have been holding my Bitcoins for more than 2 years now. Today I am sitting on almost 20x profit which is still growing(that is why I see no further risk). Bitcoin is indeed highly volatile and thus can be good for short term trading. But you can very well go for long term investment and returns are huge. Regarding comparison with a particular stock. I compared it generally with some large cap stocks which are less risky. There might be many small cap stocks which are highly volatile and can give huge returns. But they are very much risky while Bitcoin is not as it's being growing year after year. So when it comes to ROI+less risk, Bitcoin wins the race.

Bitcoin is not comparable with the real estate, bitcoin is same with stocks, at least there are some exchange that already traded the bitcoin in there. But some people are trying to understand the bitcoin as a commodity. But bitcoin was having a better volatility than stocks and low chance to manipulated by some parties.

I dont think that their is much difference between stocks , bonds and Bitcoins as both are having same risk, in investment option and also in trading option as both gives high profit high risk. But in Real Estate it is both risk and not secure. So i consider Bitcoin as you can earn freely by doing lot of tasks but for stocks, bonds and real estate you have to invest and take risk to earn.

In terms of the schema and work process, yes stock, bitcoins and real estate are almost same. Very well said that they have same investments, trading options in stock and bitcoin. Real estate is also some sort of same thing but high risk with no security is there and insecurity is just no present in bitcoins and stock.

Bitcoin is in some points similar to stocks.
You can handle it at exchanges, both have charts that can be analized and these charts somehow seem to have similar ways of behaving. At least until now.
But when you buy a stock of a company, you have numbers of that company you can base your investment decision on.
With bitcoin, you basically have only the way it developed in the past. That makes it very difficult to say what a fair price for it is.

I think the BTC and crypto market in general is (naturally) still very immature, volatile and chaotic, so there is a much higher risk compared to the asset classes you are mentioning. On the other hand there is an un-comparable potential for returns. Don’t put all your money on one horse, especially if you really can’t know whether it will fly like a superman or lose legs and die, but the extremely high reward potential seems real so putting some portion of one’s wealth into crypto looks like a smart thing to do.

I agree with you on the chaotic part but isn't the chaos and volatility that makes bitcoin value surge almost all the time, even though it tends to drop sometimes, but we can all agree that bitcoins and maybe other cryptocurrencies always seem to rise and therefore make money for their investors.

Bitcoin is an internet base commodities or assets, so without internet and blockchain bitcoin is nothing. it is non-physical assets and the only proof of investment is the private key or digital wallets backed by digital signature of blockchain though its anonymity even your worst personal enemy who are into bitcoin can't refuse to sign as digital witness of your private key from blockchain. for it is unregulated as of now, proof of ownership through legal matters is hard to obtain whenever goes wrong of your investment it is hard to file a lawsuit.unlike gold, real estate or stock a proof of investment is through certificate and title as a strong evidence of ownership with legal documents and protected by government and state whenever something goes wrong, a lawsuit can be filed easily. in terms of longevity, bitcoin is a software and prone to obsolescence and could be extinct in a couple of decades among other investment mentioned above.

Yes I think so either bitcoin or investments in the form of assets such as real estate, plantations have prices that do not fluctuate and relatively from year to year value will increase, while for bitcoin investment is uncertain because the price is still fluctuating so it has more high risks from investment real estate like realestate and plantation.

Comparing bitcoin to other markets isn’t too fair. Because everybody is a king in his own lane. In the stocks market there is the big fish in there, so also the CFD and other market. Bitcoin is the big fish in the cryptomarket.

But look bitcoin is big fish in all over global market, yeah you are right in some way but you can’t be able to say that you will get high profit only from stock markets, there is too much risk in stock market, and in bitcoin risk percentage is much less the stock market. If I have investment then I will directly move and buy bitcoin from it.

I prefer Bitcoin than stock market, but I think Real Estates investment is better than Bitcoin... Why do people invest in Bitcoin? Because inflation doesn't eat your money, etc... The same happens with Real Estates. Inflation won't eat your investment, you will have profit anyway. There are few negative points: You need big money to start investing on it, the Real Estate's value can drop depending if your neighboorhood, city is dangerous, poor, etc.

This is such an interesting topic and will only get more and more discussion as bitcoin continues to gain prominence.

It will actually be very interesting to see how business scholars/historians evaluate and write about bitcoin's history in the future.

It is definitely more risky at this stage when compared to investment vehicles that have been around for a long time and are "more accepted". But, that being said, it has to start somewhere.

I think it is most comparable to gold, with it being a scarce good and able to be used as a store of value.
