Correct! While the stock market requires a certain level of knowledge and age requirements for anyone to get in, cryptocurrencies are much more flexible in this regard. Anyone without ID verification or age requirements could easily get into the crypto market. There's no knowledge required for you to get started using them (although if you want to trade successfully, you'd need some knowledge to do so), which it's ideal for any investor or average person to get into.
Considering that cryptocurrencies have become extremely popular over the past year, I think that there's much more potential for growth in this space than the stock market itself. Eventually, as the stock market sees the benefit of blockchain technology, companies would launch their stocks within their own private blockchains, or as tokens living under an existent blockchain (like Ethereum). If you were to look for a fast, and easy way to make money, then cryptocurrencies are the preferred choice over the regular stock market. But, be aware that they're highly risky due to abnormal price movements within any course of the day. Hence, if you prefer less fluctuations in price, and greater protection in your investment, then stocks would be highly recommended.
