I would however like to know what you think, do you think one is better than the other? And do you also think that one may tend to outshine the other in the nearest future?
This will depend on many factors such as capital, investment preferences of each person...and we are all different. If you have a large amount of capital and like safety and stability, real estate is a good choice for you. But if you have only small capital and are willing to take risks for bigger results then cryptocurrencies will be more suitable for you.
You cannot invest in real estate if you don't have much money or if you have millions or billions of dollars but if you invest all that money in risky assets like crypto then it is not a wise decision. Therefore, depending on your circumstances and conditions, choose the appropriate form of investment, do not imitate or follow anyone.
