As we all know, stock market had been there for a very long time now and on the other hand, cryptocurrency is a fast rising trend when it comes to the world of trade and commerce. Some may prefer to invest in crypto because of high returns but some will still go with stock market and play it safe.
In your opinion, what will be the best option to invest your money on?
You have to consider both in order to derive at an answer to your question:
Firstly, stock markets contain shares of stock where it represents an ownership to the company. It is also intangible and its value is also driven by the law of demand and supply. Recent events and news significantly affect its price as businesses and companies tend to base the value of their stocks depending on the market status. Stocks, in general, are governed by the government through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to prevent abuses from the company.
On the other hand, cryptocurrencies are digital assets that exist in the internet. They have no innate value as it is also intangible and what governs the price of it is also the law of demand and supply. Bitcoin, to be specific, has a significantly high amount of market value. Its volatility and anonymity factor are also one of its notable features on why people tend to utilize this type of currency. Personally, I find it coincidental that bitcoin was utilized to be an investment option due to its high-value and volatility.
If you are planning your investments, I suggest that you diversify and maximize the two (2) aforementioned investment tools for maximum profit and the reduction of risks. Although bitcoin can be regarded as a 'high-risk, high-return' type, there are also ways in order to minimize the risks involve. Stocks are typically focused into the long-term side of investment and you also need to be updated to current events to maximize your profits.
At the end, no one is better than the other one as they have their own share of advantages and disadvantages.
