Topic: Crypto vs Stocks - page 8. (Read 1713 times)

Asking someone which one to choose between stock and crypto in a crypto dominated forum is pretty much a useless thing since the majority is going to be favoring cryptocurrency.

Short term or long term in my opinion these two instruments are not much different.  Stocks are also suitable for the short term as well as crypto.  However, the most crucial thing is that crypto does not have an underlying asset whereas stocks do not.  Because the underlying asset is clear, the risk of stocks is also not that great, it makes sense that the resulting return is lower than crypto.

This kind of comparison will always stay as long as the top re still ongoing. However never, it may also depend on the treaty and also fund management.
Nowadays, many traders from stocks are coming into cryptoruccery. This is because of the very high price volatile because i, it can give them bad impact old

But here, what's about the shitcoints that are used to be very hype and then attract so many people playing that gambling casino both online and hoffline??

You can buy as much as you can with crypto but the exchanges have also limits and minimum amount. But what's good with them is that the minimum amount is really a small amount that can be followed by every kind of investor and trader.

I agree about stocks, the stocks are growing and needing a long time to grow.

Crypto is already being regulated in some places , centralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency market are where the regulation starts, and that’s where it ends, because they can’t continue keeping an eye on it when it’s out of there. When it comes to decentralized exchanges you don’t know who owns an address, exchanges are P2P and people don’t reveal their identity. But as for centralized exchanges, it’s always clear who owns the address because users have to submit some of their information and sometimes full information that will disclose everything about them, and that helps regulators to know everything about them.

I prefer crytocurrency more than stocks because in cryto there is no minimum or maximum amount to buy or sell.In terms of stability stock is more stable than crytocurrency while cryto is more volatile which guarantes more profits in terms of trading.Crytocurrencies can easily increases in value when kept for some short period of time while stocks takes longer time sometimes years before it appreciate in values so I will definitely go with crytos.

People might make the comparison between crypto and stocks often, but it's usually a shallow comparison. No doubt, lots of people have gotten rich from cryptocurrency but that was mostly down to luck rather than painstaking analysis that can take place with companies. There is a lot more historical fact to base your stockmarket investing on than the just over 10 years that bitcoin has been around, so trends have a lot more evidence (even recessions tend to have an average frequency). When you look at a company you should see clear inputs and outputs, with the profits either being paid out in dividends or reinvested in expansion. Some companies have over 50 years of dividend growth, which means their payout to shareholders has progressively grown over time through good and bad markets.

When you look at Bitcoin, nobody really knows why it is moving up in price, other than it is a desirable  and limited quantity "digital gold" asset that can avoid banking regulation - allowing it to be sold to another person at an ever greater price. Lots of people like the very rapid upwards trajectory of Bitcoin, punctuated by a few rapid falls in value, but personally I like the slow and steady approach that owning stocks allows. It's helpful to have both, but I think Bitcoin (like precious metals) should make up a small portion of any long term investment portfolio because it is so volatile.

To trade of stock,you need to verify the kyc.It's more or less a criticism by the investors.Based on their investment,they will need to pay the money as a tax.Tax paying is not a obstacle,it only hurt you when you are forced to pay huge amount as a tax.To avoid such things,investment on a crypto will be better option for traders.In some platform,no need to verify kyc.

Here in my country, only people with complete knowledge and businesses can go with stocks but with crypto, there is no discrimination. Stocks needs requirements that an ordinary individual cannot provide but with crypto, DYOR is the only thing we need and centralized requirements like KYC's are optional.

could you provide more details why PoW is the best way to secure the network, seems that you put it here as dogma, while it is far from being the one and only way to secure the network
there are ways to receive dividend regardless of PoS, but of course stocks and crypto are not the same, stock are dealing with ownership rights, crypto should repurpose complete management for companies, with DAO in process

As you may guess since we are in a bitcoin forum most people are going to prefer bitcoin over any other type of investment, the great advantage of stocks is that stocks can pay dividends unlike bitcoin, now some coins have tried to imitate this behavior but the problem is that they have done so by becoming PoS when we know the best way to secure the network is PoW and as such that is a compromise that we should never accept.

Both types of assets have their respective advantages/disadvantages. You'd just to have to know when to take advantage of them for your own financial gain. As long as you're able to remain financially independent, nothing else matters. Those who're able to manage both crypto and stocks will obtain greater opportunities for profit than those who only hold one of the two. Investors trust stocks more than crypto, because they're stable and widely regulated by mainstream governments. But things could change as crypto becomes more popular in the mainstream world.

Nonetheless, it's up to you to decide which type of asset to invest for your own financial benefit. As long as you're able to minimize losses, you'll be able to avoid bankruptcy in the long run. I'd stay with crypto since it brings higher rewards than stocks themselves. The only downside is that the risks are higher with crypto than with stocks. Hopefully, stocks will make use of Blockchain technology in order to bring an influx of institutional investors and traders into crypto land. Just my opinion

I know little about stocks and I had never invested in it so I think my answer will be biased here.
Cryptocurrencies.
It's easy. You are your own bank and manager. You don't need the help of anyone (broker) to buy it. You just need to sign up with an exchange, use your bank account to buy it and your invested. Selling and buying doesn't have deep explanation too. You just input your order and wait for it to be filled.
People before rely on stability and security and stocks is the answer for that but not in this era.
Higher risk with higher profit. We want a faster way to make money rather than rely with the old ways where it doesn't move much.

I honestly knew nothing much when it comes to stock market. All I knew is it is both risky. My friend introduce stock market to me somehow but on a different perspective. There will be other people or there will be a company that will manage my money on stocks. They will make it grow according to the economy of the country. In that case, I just need to sit back, relax, wait and there is no need for a deeper analysis regarding stocks. But of course there will be time that there will be no profit due to the economy is down but still I have to pay them. I am not sure if this is a good idea. To be honest I still doubt and I am afraid. When it comes to crypto I know I already lose a lot way back 4 years ago that comes to the point wherein I almost quit crypto but here I am again. Both good opportunity yet risky.

Even if crypto future is uncertain, I am still going yo make money out of it while it is still kicking and alive. Stocks need a lot of capital to make a considerable gain before you can consider making a passive income out of it, and you said it already, that the returns in crypto is faster than stocks.

Crypto and stocks market both got their own ways and their own supply and demand. As you said, some people will say crypto is just like stocks and they will say let's buy a share of bitcoin stocks. They are wrong and depending on your own thoughts and risk level you can choose your way to buy bitcoin and crypto currencies or bitcoin. Comparing to stocks market, crypto is much more risky and of course this will give you more reward.

Completely different asset classes imo.

With a few exceptions, cryptos do not generate cash flows, whilst stocks indeed have a internal rate of return.

However, this is not to say that crypto is inferior to stocks as a long term hold. In fact, I would argue the exact opposite - even though yes, in the medium run stocks will generate stable cash flows, in the long run you hold BTC to hedge against an imminent fiat collapse as a store of value more than anything else.

Definitely not black and white. There are usage cases for either as an investment vehicle depending on your needs.

1: Stocks can be issued at will to extend crowdfunding compared to the limited supply and availability of cryptocurrencies, which is probably the main reason why I chose cryptocurrencies.  Although compared to stocks, cryptocurrencies are still more risky, but it will be the future, not stocks. 
2: Liquidity.  Securities have too many cumbersome, complicated rules, take a lot of papers, signatures, take too much time.  Crypto is always ready at any time.

However, I don't really agree with you.  You say that Crypto is not very safe for investing for a long time maybe because you haven't tried it.  A friend of mine said that in 2010 he invested $ 1000 for 1000 BTC and still keeps his BTC to this day.  In approximately 11 years, he has become a millionaire.  Is it really unsafe for a long time?  He did not expect his life to have changed so much since the decision that was taken in 2010.

I don't just rely on a single form of investment. Crypto is having a huge possible gain compared to a traditional business or stock market but because of its volatility features, it turns out that not really safe in the long run. Having them both is a good option to take but I'll put a big share on the stock market than in crypto. Because what I think is that investment is not just how much we get in the future but what we have to look for is guaranteed profit assurance which I believe that the stock market can do better than crypto.
