Topic: Crypto vs Stocks (Read 1657 times)

You only mention the bad side of stock, you didn't mention the good side of it. The lesser the volatility of a market, the less damage you experience when price tend to fall, this is why stock is always confined and safe for beginners.
Crypto is very volatile and one has to be very vigilant. There was a time during covid-19 period when market was so volatile, the market was so scared that orders don't get filled up when people try to closed there positions and in that case, it will be suicidal when you try market trade or sell at current market price because you will definitely be rekt with such move. Volatility plays both side.

Yes, in fact when the covid-19 just started, which was at the end of 2019 where only in China some information had been leaked, everything was on the right track, then by the beginning of 2020 when in China they could no longer hide the problem, it all started to get tense and once the virus spread both the Stock Market and the BTC market started to fall.

The losses were very large because the Stock Market many investors sold cheap while the Chinese or the Chinese government was buying, once in China they declared that they had already overcome the Covid-19 and the economy in Europe and the USA was falling, this helped a lot because they bought cheap, but the BTC was beginning to recover, in fact the BTC recovered much faster than the Stock Market, this guarantees that the BTC in crisis tends to function for many people as a great refuge of value.

They both involved high risk and high reward, crypto's is just much better when it comes to rewards with bitcoin as a proof for rewards. I think they have their own merits that we should consider, stocks if chosen correctly is able to give you a really good money especially passive income with some oof them paying dividends.

They are pretty similar as an investment but I think the main difference is like you said, with stocks, we can have a share or proportion of the company, meanwhile if it's crypto, we don't have such thing. We just have the coin, but it's not tangible so we can't really see or feel it. Other than that, crypto is more regulated, not too much out of control, and has less risk too. Meanwhile crypto has higher risk, but of course bigger profits in return as well. None of them is really better than each other, it's all depend on the person, whether they like crypto more or stocks more. All will have different opinion. Although i myself prefer crypto for a long term investment, especially bitcoin, meanwhile stocks is more suitable for trading for me.

I will go with crypto as it involves high risk and high rewards if any one comes here without any knowledge he may fail in making any profit if you come after doing your research well there us a huge scope for potential earnings in crypto

it's really just a matter of returns between stocks and crypto, whether people are rich or not. indeed, if you look at crypto, it promises greater profits, but stocks have less risk than crypto. therefore we ourselves judge whether we dare to take risks in crypto. and of course because crypto has not yet been legalized, many of the shareholders are reluctant to invest in crypto

The majority of stocks now are down due to covid. Crypto becomes bullish because people prefer to use digital currency over notes to prevent the possible passing of the coronavirus.

Using bitcoin or any crypto for similar work of stock wouldn't work for a company because people controlling that firm would have to answer the taxes and illegal activities (if any of the company) to the government but with crypto, it's very hard to trace the payments which make it hard for a censored place.

It is not that bitcoin will do good in the place of stock but it's the control that it will challenge and people who have control in that place will do their best to maintain it.

Stocks are only suitable for those who already have stable and wealthy finances, they don't care about profits so they take safe steps, while cryptocurrencies are high-risk investments that can make new rich people in a year or less.

A trader makes an agreement with his trading for the exchange of cash difference in price from the opening and closing price at which the contract ends but crypto is more profitable than stocks lack of knowledge about the stock market will bring it down at once it is very difficult to reduce the risk. There are risks in crypto the amount of currencies for investment can be reduced, but it is possible to reduce the risk by investing in other sites by comparison I prefer crypto to stock.

Stocks are as stable as gold. But the risk of stocks is also relatively large. Maybe you become rich in an instant. It is also possible to change from the rich to the poor.
The same is true when comparing stocks and cryptocurrencies. All investments are risky. But I personally think that stock investment is simpler than cryptocurrency.
I studied stocks before I became familiar with cryptocurrencies. If the funds are available. You can invest in both.

If I have a lot of capital, I will definitely invest both in crypto and stocks. Stocks are much more stable than crypto but the possibility of getting more profit is in crypto. Both of them have strengths and weaknesses. And also crypto is riskier than investing in stocks because of its volatility but still many people invest in crypto because of high return so it is better to have both.

I have tried both stocks and crypto but my experience with stock is not good because in stock we have less volatility as compared to crypto. I have entered in crypto market since last 4 years but In stocks I have entered in last 6 months I will say crypto is much more profitable.

I don't think demand can determine which one suits you. I mean some people are naturally good at sharp actions and will always benefit from the ever-fluctuating crypto market while some people are not so sharp but they have the ability to stock with one thing and proceed slowly which tends to suit the stocks market.

If you think you can play around with the fluctuations then go for crypto trading, if you feel like the fluctuations are playing with you and your trades are closing out in a negative balance, don't do it.

In my opinion, I think both can do better, it just depends on the time. If crypto are getting flourished at the moment, for sure you will side with it but if stocks are getting higher prices and in demand, it is expected that you would say it is better than crypto. Stocks are deemed legal unlike crypto but sooner or later, we might see it being freely regulatef all over the world too. The real question is not whether what's best between the two, the real question is how well do you manage your crypto investments or stocks. It would rely on your strategies and will depend on how wise you are with it.

Well for one, Bitcoin was released in 2008 and nobody knew what it was.  Berkshire has been a public company since 1839, and Buffet had been getting involved around 1964, so yeah, by 1976 a lot more people would have had the ability to know what it was than bitcoin in 2008.  And lol, your inability to recognize hype while hyping is funny. "Bitcoin is life changing asset..."  That's the epitome of hype.  You maximalists get your panties in a bunch any time someone doesn't parrot the same bullshit back to you. You're so fragile that people having different views is a mortal threat to your own belief system, that's why you react so negatively when you come across it and say something stupid like  "MuSt Be a nO cOiNeR!"  This is obviously going to be hard for you to comprehend, but people can own bitcoin and also not be maximalists who live in a fantasy world where bitcoin is the greatest thing that ever happened and will solve all the problems in the world.

I personally see it this way. There are different national stock markets to invest and all of them differ by the risks associated with the economic stability of the countries where they are held. The most stable and secure stock market is American one. FIrst of all, it is strictly regulated by the government and the overall performance of American economy is solid. So, you can invest in the US stock market in order to be more or less safe from scam and immidiate default of the whole economy. Along with American market, there are some others which are less secure, for example Russian stock market. Russia is a developing country which has already suffered from default that it is why its Fitch rating is BBB. What does it mean? It means that investing in any companies from Russia is much riskier than investing in American ones. But, the more risks you have, the more potential benefit you get. If we look at the average divident yield of Russian companies and compare it to American ones, we will be surpeised by the fact that the average divident yield in Russia is about 8-10% while in the USA it is only about 2-3%. Which leads us to the conclusion that it is more perky to invest in not quite stable but benefitial Russian economy.
The same thing with cryptocurrency. There are lots of risks of being scammed and high volatility of the market, but if you know what you do, you will perform much better than you would in stock market. On the contrary, if you don't want to learn, you'll fail in crypto market and in stock market. Higher risks presuppose higher yields.

Freedom to choose due to unregulated market unlike stocks. That makes stocks more agreeable eye catchy to old investors. Yes I agree that crypto is riskier but the more risk you have, the more gain it'll probably have.

These two have always been discussed and it will continue like that also. To me, I can't say that one of them is the best. Because both of them have pros and cons. Cryptos are volatile for example and not everyone would be willing to invest into them.

Looking at OP,

I'd say Cryptocurrencies are volatile because not every mainstream financial institution such as banks supports its transaction with fiat, @least most of them.

It's natural for people to avoid doing transactions to such crypto when the banks are blocking their accounts for doing so, which is happening in most of the countries right now,
And it's natural for people to ask why so many are nations doing the same thing?

Another thing, Cryptos are much more volatile compared to stocks, Excluding penny stocks.
