Topic: Crypto vs Stocks - page 2. (Read 1657 times)

Somehow I was offered to start investing in stocks, but after I learned the whole process, it seemed to me more complicated than investing in cryptocurrencies. I believe that this is one of the important factors that influences the choice between investing in stocks or cryptocurrencies, in favor of cryptocurrencies. As for institutional investors, they are more likely to also choose investments in cryptocurrencies, since there will be all the clear advantages for better earnings. However, it should be noted that now there is a struggle between digital specialists and bankers, the outcome of which is still difficult to predict.

You heard it right and even on forex trading gains where 5-10% gain would already be considered as a good stuff but basing off with the volatility then its quite understandable because trying to compared off with the intensity of price movement then its no brainer on how crypto is really an interesting thing.

One of the reasons on why i had jumped into this market due to volatility on where you can earn more than you would in stocks and forex
compare if you do stick your ass to crypto.

Even though risk is really higher but would really be worth for you to engage on but well there are still traders or investors whom do love on sticking with
traditional things.

Stock is also a good option if you're just wanting to be with those traditional investors that sits with you on the annual meeting of those companies you invest in.

You need higher capital for you to see that volatility works for you on the stock but in crypto, the volatility is its main course whether you'll hold a lot or keep on accumulating.

It is not rocket science mate.

If you can find a way to get your crypto off-grid (not from an exchange), nobody will know that you have any crypto. If nobody knows, there will be no taxes Same with gold.

This is impossible with stocks. (there are other ways for stocks but too cumbersome)

It's different, obviously something that has a high profit also has a high risk. If on the stock market, if a product experiences a spike of more than 100% in an instant, it will definitely be monitored by the government and will be frozen, in contrast to decentralized cryptocurrencies that are so free and no one is watching, there will be any price spikes even 500%, it's normal.

Crypto will remain my wild option anytime everyday 7 days a week and 12 month a year. 
Nothing will replace crypto except for gambling site and fraud that promise stupid return and empty promises.
Stock on the other hand is not an option, the return aren't something to write home about except when you engage in marginsl trading which gains and profit may not be worthwhile like trade on spot with crypto.
Stock shares are also been manipulated by some groups sometimes but since they are highly regulated, such individuals get prosecuted for such actions.

Well, I like crypto more than stocks as well, but let's be honest and admit that crypto can be a casino as well. It depends a bit on what you buy, but even if you buy Bitcoin or Ethereum, it is a lot about timing unless you put the coins into your cold wallet and are in it for the very long game.

If you buy other stuff it can very well be casinos-like, too.

Can you elaborate on the tax aspect you mentioned? You can also have decent strategies with stocks.

They are likely related. Same functionality but different technology. I believe crypto is quite superior in terms of technology and functionality. Crypto has this advantage in terms of usability i.e. Staking, lending and other stuffs like that, meanwhile in stocks they have this dividends. In terms of profit, crypto's volatility is enormous compare to stocks. It could go up to 1000x in days and price could go to minimal in just a matter of days.

they can be the same in a sense that you can invest but crypto has another function  .
are penny stock currencies ?  they are still stock but they are more closer to crypto because of volatility and both are currencies .
if you love crypto , you might also like penny stocks  . think of it as diversifying

Risk factors involved in the two are very wide I'd go with cryptocurrencies anyday because that's what I understand, learnt and can trade. Crypto has the ability to return profit on investment with 100% within a short period of time unlike Stocks that require large some of capital and time to yield such results.

I heard 7% as yearly gain is very good for stocks.  What about for crypto then? 

I will not say crypto is like stocks, but penny stocks. I have seen so many penny stocks rising too much and then falling hard and the same happens with crypto where lots of coins get vanished and cannot be seen anywhere once investors take out their profits. I was always reluctant with doing penny stocks, but don't know what dragged me into loving crypto.

Although there are similarities between crypto and stock as you mentioned but I think one major difference is the ROI. You see in crypto ROI is huge compared to stock but on the other hand risk involved in stock investment is not high compared to crypto. Block chain technology is something to think about.

I think that comparing crypto vs stocks is like comparing apples vs oranges. They're completely different things. Stocks are much more stable than crypto in part because they're widely regulated by mainstream governments. In crypto, it's the wild west (even if centralized exchanges themselves are regulated). This explains why crypto is highly-volatile in price. You can end up being rich or poor in an instant with crypto.

What makes crypto entirely different from stocks is that crypto is not tied to a company or single entity. Crypto is decentralized, free from government and third-party interference. In case governments decide to crackdown centralized exchanges, people will still be able to access crypto directly by connecting to the Blockchain. P2P and decentralized exchanges will be the norm if this happens. You cannot do this with stocks since they're utterly centralized. Ultimately, investors will decide which type of asset to use to secure their capital depending on their needs. I'd go for crypto anytime since the chances of profiting from it are much higher than it's the case with stocks. More and more investors are joining the game so it should only be a matter of time before the stock market adopts Blockchain tech for its own benefit. Just my opinion

Did you say more risk or you wanted to say more risk and small profit. I remember just last year when stock crash. The entire world was affected which many has never experienced in their life time in stock market.
I prefer crypto, one of my reasons remains it been decentralized without a central authority. I will choose a shit coin or low market cap project over stock any time any day, though I can foresee the previous crash of stock, I will heavily invest in metals and gold.

Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so comparing them is a bit hard. Stocks will be more suitable for those who are new to investment and prefer stable investment with lower risk, meanwhile crypto is more volatile and risky, thus promising a higher profit as well. It's all up to the person, what kind of investment they want to have. However, i guess stocks are safer, and crypto will be harder to be regulated globally, maybe government can ban or make it illegal, but they can't control or stop crypto as a whole. It's hard to do so.

yes, I agree with you, with crypto one can earn much more than with stocks. but I think everyone must have their own reasons, why they choose crypto or stocks. in my opinion, maybe they also understand about crypto but they are still comfortable with their choice. most people who choose stocks, they think that stocks have less risk than cryptocurrencies. they don't really think about big profits, but they prefer safety on the money they invest. It takes courage to invest in crypto, and I don't think the people in the stock have that much courage.

Nah. I am not really a fan of stocks. Crypto is honest. Stock market is a casino. I'd rather buy more crypto with my crypto gains and have even more potential gains. But that's just me. Stock are in a bubble anyway and crypto is hanging just fine. It is also fairly easy to avoid taxes with crypto. That's not the case when you invest in stocks and I am not really a fan of paying taxes.

True but if you want to balance your portfolio, for example part of it as bringing you profits through sheer growth and part of it as relatively stable income in the form of stocks of a well situated dividend paying company, the question is whether you can get around stocks altogether. Sure you can but it may not lead to the perfect asset allocation that gives you risk exposure and upside potential plus a stable income stream.

Scalability issue is being solved via side chains like liquid as I see it. It is not perfect but it seems to work.

As you said, in the future NSADAQ and other major markets will probably operate on Ethereum or something similar. However, I stilll would buy crypto instead of stocks because stocks look like dead weight. They are matured long ago. Crypto is still in its infancy which means the room for growth is far bigger.

The companies that are sceptical of crypto are changing their minds slowly. Look, even Tesla/Elon has backpedaled from their latest decision and decided to accept bitcoin for their products again.

When this gains momentum, the others will have no other choice but to follow.
