I think you are just evading taxes for your Crypto gain  Grin (j/k).  Cryptocurrency and Real estate are two different entity so their taxation have different approach.  Real estate being a taxable tangible asset is subject to taxation  by the government  while Cryptocurrency being an intangible asset is only subject to taxation when there is a capital gain.

Anyone can read the links for more information:
Taxable Asset
Intangible Personal Property: Definition, Types, and Example

Anyway, I also prefer cryptocurrency because of the sole reason of having a low entry point, and higher chance of gaining profit due to its current status of being in early stages.  Aside from that due to the same reason @coolcoinz stated, holding it is not taxable until we sell it at the higher price. While real estate is subject to annual tax even, reason why some think of it as a liability than asset when left idle for years.

Yes, I am Cheesy Not joking here as according to my local tax laws I'm supposed to pay when I turn my coins into fiat money, so I hold for as long as I can and trade OTC as much as I can. Fortunately, barter transactions are impossible to track, so you can sell bitcoin for cash all you want and exchange it to goods and services as long as the other party is ready to accept BTC as payment.

I'm also a guy who likes to have things under control. When I own a piece of land I have to be aware of every single thing and fight for it every single day. I'll give you an example. I have a property near the woods. One day it got hit by a lightning and it damaged lights on the gate and the intercom. I had to replace that. The other day, a tree fell on the fence, I had to go there, cut it down, fix the fence. And this is a property that nobody lives on and I still have to pay taxes and pay for natural damages. I don't have similar problems with my bitcoin.

Which one do you prefer?

I don't know why you guys don't look at other threads or maybe you are copying the thread idea because the same thread was made by a hero member in the economics sections. He did the same as you as you did. And I don't think that this topic is suitable for this section, As it is an economic question so it will be better if you did it in the economy section. I am giving the link of that topic and I want you to take a look at it and then you will know that this topic is in the wrong place. Please bring some good quality posts here and make sure that the topic you are sharing here will not be posted anywhere. Hope you will not mind my words.

Real estate have many disadvantages e.g. not liquid, the land or the building can be owned by a gangster, natural disaster etc.

Most of cryptocurrency aren't decentralized, only few coins are decentralized e.g. Bitcoin. Bitcoin on the other hand don't have any disadvantages that the real estate have, Bitcoin is liquid, can't be controlled by other people as long as it's not compromised, immune against natural disaster or any other possible worst thing happen e.g. world war.

I'd choose Bitcoin all the way.

Bitcoin is less hassle, no paper works, less tax, and easier to buy and sell compare to real estate. Though, they are both good profit generator in the long run, I just don't like selling real estate because they take too much energy from you, physically and mentally. In Bitcoin, if you're a holder, all you gotta do is to buy when it dumps hard and wait for it to skyrocket before selling it, easy profits.
it's different for me, where I actually choose both, but for now I don't think I can afford to buy real estate because the price is expensive so I hold bitcoin, but when it makes a profit I think I will diversify to buy real estate and leave a little money for waiting for the bearish season to come, that way i will have 2 investments with different risks, and i hope that it will strengthen my finances, which with real estate i can turn it into a passive income

Which one do you prefer?
From the first place I saw the title of this thread, I thought it would end up in which one I prefer. Well, I will choose cryptocurrency, and even among the cryptocurrencies, I will choose bitcoin to invest in as it is the one that I think will be safer for me. The reason why I will prefer bitcoin to crypto is because I can start with a small amount of money and, with time, invest more once in a while, while real estate cannot be done with a small amount of money. If you really want your estate to look good, people should come and stay there. It will require significant amounts of money, so you can see that crypto will be the easiest one.

Everyone likes a new house or a flat to live in, so real estate and BTC should go hand in hand when it comes to investment. 
Sure. Everybody wants to leave in a good place, but real estate investment and bitcoin investment cannot be the same thing, even though both will generate profit. There is  difference, in my opinion. It will be kind of difficult to make  investment in real estate with a little amount of money since you stated that someone will love to live in a big and nice apartment. Can a big and nice flat be done using a small amount of money, like crypto investments? You know, with the current economy, it cannot be done. But when you talk about bitcoin investment, you can see that you will use a small amount of money and invest, and it will definitely generate profit.

Cryptocurrency: You can buy it for a small amount of money and many people can afford it
Real estate: You have to have a lot of money to buy it and only a few people can afford it.
Which do you prefer?
If it were me, I would prefer cryptocurrency.
I can have more investments in crypto while I can't buy real estate yet.

Even if someone has the resources and money to buy the real estate, he should think twice about it. Real estate was a good investment a decade ago but now the world situation is unrest. The Ukraine Russia War, the China-US tension and the increasing floods/earth quake in recent times have made real estate a risky investment.

We all know that if there is any hint of a world war, people wouldn't be buying the properties, and we could see a selloff pressure in the real estate industry.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, might prove to be a very handy and store of value in these uncertain times.
In addition, he must prepare a lot of money that not everyone can have.
That is why, by investing in crypto, we can adjust the budget so that our finances are not disturbed.
If we choose real estate, we have to be ready for all the bad situations that can happen, but in crypto, we also have to be ready for price changes that can happen at any time.
Investing in bitcoin is the best choice as a long-term investment.

Sincerely, I would choose Bitcoin or a cryptocurrency over either of the two. Of course, when I experiment with different ways to make money with cryptocurrencies, if I end up with a profit that surprises me, I may decide to fund yet another investment. Thus, there will be plans to purchase the coins when the events I think about occur when it is time to actually lift them from my possession.

In other words, with cryptocurrency, if you have investments that you can be certain will increase in value along with the onset of the bull run, you will undoubtedly make a profit that you did not anticipate. I see that the chances are high because of this.

These are subjects that should be addressed early on, preferably before entering a bullish market, and prudent investors should consider. Cryptocurrency is characterized by its high volatility and significant risk, even for experienced individuals, unless they exercise caution and diversify their gains. Real estate, while not without its challenges, represents a worthwhile avenue for diversification. Additionally, other investment options include the stock market, commodities, collectibles, and more.

Real estate is tangible, can provide food/shelter, legal proceedings involved to make a transfer which gives you sense of security and protection. Also, you feel like huge burden leaving you when you own your own place to live. Whereas, crypto is fragile, rampant scams and hacks, volatility, significant security knowledge required to secure your funds.

Prioritize real estate first. Once you own a place, explore crypto investments without burden of rent or the landlord.
Yea, it is good a have your own house built, so that you can have rest of mind and you have also conquer shelter problem. But this investment demands a huge capital to start with and might take a very long time to set it up and have passive income. On the other hand bitcoin is fragile but has the potential to give you huge profit compare to real estates. To buy bitcoin is easy than building an estate. The two of them are both important and very good to diversify. A nobody or an average Joe would find it difficult to build an estate.

I think both is quite profitable, but at the current market condition maybe real-estate is more secure than crypto. Next year is Bitcoin halving, and now Q3 of this year is almost end and the crypto market is still in bearish. While the price for a house around me keep increasing. But for me personally I will always choose Crypto over real-estate, personal preference.

It might come down to personal choice; both have different concepts of investment and have advantages and disadvantages in terms of earning. Here, I will discuss a few points between Cryptocurrency and Real estate. I hope it will clear your mind about the choice between both.
★ Cryptocurrency has a low barrier to entry; investors can purchase coins with less capital. While real estate is costly to own and maintain. You have to allocate thousands of dollars for investments.
★ Real estate carries less risk (volatility), while cryptocurrency has more volatility.
★ Cryptocurrency is decentralized in that users can transact with peer-to-peer networks, while real estate has a lot of responsibilities that real estate owners must comply with.
★ Real estate can give you a steady profit, whereas cryptocurrency can give you a quick profit or make you lose money due to its high volatility.
★ Real estate cannot be traded quickly. It may take several times, even months or years, to find a buyer for a property. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile, meaning the coins can be easily traded, If you have proper knowledge about the market.

Both are good options for investment; it's up to you and mainly depends on your criteria as to which one is best: cryptocurrency or real estate.
You must weigh the pros and cons and determine whether you can afford the risks and requirements of the investment you have chosen. It is always possible to invest if you have enough capabilities

Both investment is ideal but we are now dealing with price volatility, in terms of  bitcoin the price change every time and people riding with its demand so there's a lot of trader, if we are talking about real state those lands takes time becomes too much expensive and also it depends on the location if the location has an easy access to the community like hospital, top tier places, market and etc. there's a chance your bought house will now becomes higher the price but if not also you'll get hard to sell that. For me ideal to make a business first like this real estate if this becomes successful you can now make an investment and ride with the market price of the crypto.

I would say both. Both have their merits and demerits, but I am of the opinion that you should have some offline investment before you have an online/BTC investment. It will increase your chances to earn good profit and will give you some financial stability. Everyone likes a new house or a flat to live in, so real estate and BTC should go hand in hand when it comes to investment.

This has been discussed multiple times in the forum, and most of the answers are mixed. Others may say that they prefer cryptocurrency because they can buy it with a small amount of money and also because they can buy it without going outside your house, only in the comfort of your home.
 
Others also prefer real estate because it can give you passive income while you sleep and you can still earn profit, but the cons are that it needs a huge capital investment to buy a property or even do but and sell.
 
Diversify. No matter what you prefer, it is the best practice to distribute your investment and not only go all in on one because if that investment fails, you will lose your money. That is why having both of them makes you secure in case one of them is a failure.

There have been thousands of answers on this but out of all the answers I found the funniest was some people saying they don't like real estate and they would rather invest in bitcoin. I can guarantee that no one doesn't like real estate or gold, but we don't have a lot of money to invest in them and bitcoin is a better choice for us.

Bitcoin is suitable for everyone, while real estate requires a lot of money to invest. But many people without money lie that they don't like investing in real estate even if they are rich, LOL.

After all, both are good investments and it is up to our financial ability to choose one of them. Don't speak ill of them just because we can't afford to invest in them, but make efforts to achieve them in the future.

Cryptocurrency:
 Cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that not controlled by any government or any central authority.
In crypto, there is a high rate of return as compared to the real-estate. Cryptocurrency is decentralized (not controlled by any authority or any government). In crypto, u can trade at any time according to the condition of the market you can trade for a long or short period of time. As you wish. But in crypto, the price can swing at any time because any good or bad news is able to change the game.
Speaking of cryptocurrencies, as far as I know are still quite common and there may not be a choice that you give here. Unless you mention specifically about certain coins like bitcoin for example. At this stage one will see one of the many available coins and most importantly the chosen coin has fundamental levels that are more bearable in the long term and I'm sure you get what I mean.

Real-estate:
Real estate investors are those who purchase property to make profit. They buy residential, commercial or invest through funds. They make money when the value of the money over time increases.  Real estate provides us with a physical asset that can provide us security and stability as compared to cryptocurrency. Real estate property has high potential as compared to crypto to increase its value after a period of time.

Which one do you prefer?
There is no choice whether we like it or not because it is not a free choice that we can just take. You have money then you have everything that's how it works in the two examples you gave. Real estate is not a business that is run by people with lower middle income because it requires large capital support to run this business, so can a person's will have any influence if they don't have that support? Of course not, you can say Real estate is good but there are no opportunities for some people with lower middle income to get into this business.

Meanwhile in Bitcoin you don't need a lot of capital to get involved in it, because there are many methods and ways that we can take this approach and there are many opportunities for us. So the answer is not which one you prefer but which opportunities we can take advantage of to bring us to the real utilization stage.

Real estate investment is good, risk is low. Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky, yet I like Bitcoin. I can start investing with little money. I can buy and sell anytime. Completely under my control. I think I will get more profit in less time. I have seen that by investing in Bitcoin, many people have made huge profits. I always choose Bitcoin.

I think both are good and it's best to have both. And real estate gives you physical ownership of your investment, it's one of the best asset classes globally. Of course, we must know where to buy it so that it is easy to grow and become a stable income through property rental or property value appreciation.
But when compared to crypto, especially Bitcoin, this is the best investment. Because real estate and any type of investment you can buy after you make money or after making a profit from Bitcoin. And this is a smart way, the most important thing is that you can understand, have sufficient knowledge and are also an expert in making profits from Bitcoin, and with this you can realize whatever you want.

In case of real estate business you will get as much security as in case of crypto business you will not get as much security. Many times we see a lot of fraud in these crypto businesses, maybe there is a lot of writing about this fraud for a few days but those who cheat do not come under the law and there is no place to complain in all cases but in the case of real estate business if the trader commits any fraud. If he is a victim, he can go to the nearest police station and file a complaint and based on his complaint, the police takes various steps, so I think real estate business is the safest business. Besides real estate business we must have some alternative business, as that alternative business we can do crypto business. The risk in crypto trading is relatively low if enough precautions are taken.
