Topic: Stock market vs cryptocurrencies. What are the main differences? - page 3. (Read 1596 times)
In my personal opinion,the stock market investments are ot for everyone because it needs more knowledge and technical analysis skills,and most of the newbie stockmarket investors are losing their capital but in crypto currency we don't need much knowledge and een we can invest here with little capital and the profits will be according to that.
maybe this is what I can describe between stock differences and cryptocurrency like this
stocks: slow movements, capital must be large, there are financial supervisors, famous companies are all there, not anonymous.
Cryptocurrency: the movement is significant fast, the capital does not have to be large, there is no financial controller so if the losses and keuntungn not in charge by the government, any company can enter.

The main difference in Crypto Market and Stock Market is that crypto market run 24 hours and day and 7 days a week and No holiday in the crypto market. But Stock Market does not work on Holiday like Saturday and Sunday. So this is the main difference according to me in crypto and the stock market.

The crypto market still involves purchasing and trading of a commodity of value, just like in the traditional stock markets and money markets. In both scenarios, a purchase is made in the hope that the value will increase and result in a profit.

both are good why not invest on both. stocks is safer also some is tangible but crypto is more volatile and faster. being more volatile means more price action, more price action is better for traders

GBTC was a very good investment earlier this year but the premium has skyrocketed to extreme highs. I exited at $174 because I thought the premium was too high then. Unless you are day trading, I would stay away from most of the current stock offerings directly related to Bitcoin. On the other hand, I still like ARK, ARKW, and ARKK that focus on emerging tech with some exposure (>10%) to Bitcoin investments.
For trading cryptos, I suggest trying <https://www.bmybit.com/ no ref link> / <https://bmybit.com/?r=124185 with ref link>. It is transparent and you do not need to give the platform access to withdraw funds from your exchange accounts. If you create an account, you can see how I am doing there just letting a few strategies run https://www.bmybit.com/users/Pistachio/. Here's a screenshot from today,
Good luck!

Hey everyone. I am quite new to the crypto market and I was wondering if I could get some guidelines about trading. I have been trading for quite a long time on the stock market and had moderate success. What are the main differences between trading crypocurrencies and stocks. From what I understand there is no downtaime in which the market is operating and also there is no supervising entity, that could interfere in the process of trading. Are there any other factors to be taken into consideration? Also, could anyone recommend a trading service with low transaction fees?
I had been trading stocks for the last decade and then decided to go full time in bitcoins. In the country where I am currently at, I had noticed that stock market crashes whenever the elections are coming (2007 and 2016), especially when the newly elected leader is making some goofy decisions (such as switching allies from America to China, vice versa). I want to give you an example where the government directly affects the price of a stock; in 2014 I have bought a few thousand shares of a nickel-mining company but unfortunately the government declares a nationwide ban for mining, therefore, that stock went down 50% and I have no choice but to cut-loss and move on. I also have a few shares of Casino stocks but 2 years ago, the government went rocky with the Chinese so that particular stock did not perform very well. I am still holding that stock though.Now, with bitcoins and cryptocurrencies, the government doesn't have direct influence to it's price. You may also say that the community decides about the fate of it. Another great thing about cryptocurrency is it is not regulated by SEC. it is tax-free in my country too.

One difference is that there are many stocks where you get a dividend each year.
Another difference is that the crypto market in general is much more volatile than the stock market.
And then I must say that it is easier to get information on stocks. Each company must publish numbers every few months.
The earning options in trading and in simple holding as well are much higher with crypto currencies.

Dividends are so minimal in the stock market, compared to the growth some crypto's can experience in a few days.
Sometimes I hear someone talking about his 5% yearly div, and in my mind I just lol.
Btw, there are enough coins/tokens that provide a "dividend" as well.

The major difference I see very relevant is that no one can just sit at the back of computers or even phones and trade stocks without having a particular certification to engage in such. Over here one needs to have been a member of one stock brokers association to be able to trade and without that, you cant unlike crypto where what it will costs me is to just open an account on a website and boom I put a run for my money whether I am knowledgeable or not, is another discussion.

I have never tried stocks but for me cryptocurrency makes pumps dramatically. This thing attracts more people to become a crypto trader like me.

There are several differences.
1. Crypto is much more volatile, the S&P annualized long term volatility is 15% whereas BTC is 100%+. A 20% to 30% move n crypto is nothing.
2. Crypto is more difficult to short, the shorting functionality is less mature than in teh stock market where you. Bitfinex is one o thefew providers where you can do margin trading and shorting.
3. Crypto has less anchors for valuation unlike stocks which the valuation may be tethered on estimates of sales, earnings, EBITDA, book value, etc. Crypto has Metcalfe's law which says the network value is proportional to the square of the number of users.
4. Metrics are very different, crypto has development strength (e.g. # of github code commits), # of users, management/development team depth. Two factors they share in common are market cap and age of the business.

This.
Also, because cryptocurrency trading is unregulated you see practices that got outlawed in the stock market back in the 1930's - insider trading, pumper-dumper groups, fake news designed to panic people, even people DDOSing exchanges to take them off line at crucial moments and make investors panic.

Volatility and growth rate are the most important differences I think, they make up for a better ROI.
A stock trader for example would be very happy with +10% in a day, while a cryptotrader sees things like this on a daily basis.

Very few websites like poloneix offer low trading fees but mostly the big exchange websites have a trading fee of 0.0015 to 0.002 BTC. The market is run by pumps and dumps unlike the stock market which does have fluctuations but not this huge and regular ones. There are bots that you can use for trading but it's better you start manually trading on sites and get an experience and unlike stock markets that have a stable rate for all company shares, crypto currency prices are different among all websites. You can check coinmarketcap.com to get a fair idea of which crypto currency is traded on which website and the corresponding price (like BTC, eTH and so on).

Yes you are right that there is no any authority interfering crypto market but govenment of few country specially china can still influence the market like yesterday a ban of ico in china cause huge panic on the market which might not be same in forex trading.
When you are into crypto trading you will actually own those crypto but in forex what you will trade there is mostly digital assets which is not under your full control.
Margin trading on crypto is quite rare and don't have leverag of over 2.5x while in forex you can get more than10x leverage.

I find ease of use and simplicity to trade the difference between stock market and cryptocurrencies. In stock market you have to go through some formalities before you can start trading, where as in crypto its very easy and nearly hassle free. And basically stock market is regulated by government and Bitcoin is not.
And about volatility as mentioned by many, I found even some particular stock in stock market sometimes being volatile. But yes I get huge options in stock market considered to available crypto coins.

A little bit difficult to answer your question. Furthermore i know that stocks has a downtime like you said and it is too different from cryptocurrency because you can trade all day long as much as you want, the only limit is your money and your skills even though i know you have some skills but in crypto reseaeching in a Altcoins is much needed before investing.

Couple of reasons which differentiate them are
- Stock market is being controlled and regulate by an institution. Bitcoin is not government by any body.
- Stock market are less volatile and there are circuits in place if it jumps or fall above a certain %. In bitcoin there no circuit as only the buyer/seller needs to decide when to buy/sell.
- Earning wise bitcoin is the best as due to volatility the market rises and fall accordingly and so if you are on right side of the swing you can easily make lots of money and in stock market you will have to be little patience as only when the market and stock rise you will be able to make money.

stock market is regulated while crypto currencies market is not.
stock market is huge but the altcoin market is usually referred to as penny stocks because of its uselessness and it being small.
you can not manipulate stock market but manipulation is a part of altcoins market and to some extent it is even available in bitcoin market too.
you can use technical analysis and speculate stock market with more effectiveness than you can do it with crypto markets because of the above points.
stock market has a open and close time, it is off on weekends but crypto market is 24/7
