Topic: Which one to buy? Stocks Houses Gold or Bitcoin or Bonds? - page 3. (Read 5235 times)
Bitcoin is the right pick. Whether the price of bitcoin increases or decreases never think about it, just invest into it. In my thinking only the user who have trusted and invested into it has profited big. The earlier we invest into bitcoin the biggest will be the profit we make with respect to time.
Breakdown of performance for that period (in USD terms):
Bitcoin/USD: +80%
S&P 500 Stocks: +30%
Real Estate (REITs): +26%
Gold: +3%
Bonds: +1%
Everything above except bonds. Why? Bonds typically have a high risk/reward ratio almost equivalent to equities, yet the potential rewards are really low. In the event of a company going bankrupt, bondholders do indeed have higher priority than stockholders in getting something back, but this does not really matter if shit hits the fan and all the company's assets are wiped out. Further more, bonds and stocks have a really high correlation historically.

Nothing can beat bitcoin performance this year, as the chart mention the risng was faster than anything in ths world, so with no hesitation I will say bitcoin, the main point of investment is making profit, so we need to choose something that can make the best profit
Agreed, nothing could beat the performance of bitcoin. A comparison will help one understand which is the best, because I too believe in around the same time period of around 9 years property too could have not given such a growth so I too prefer it to be the best of all.

Gold will Not make you any significant profit, however it will protect you against the devaluation of paper cash and therfore allow you to retain value you already had....
To gain a larger stack in a reasonable time frame, use crypto or the stock market or both
Move the wealth into gold for safekeeping after you make it
Gold alone is Historically a bad investment but a good store of value although people who bought it for $1800 in 2011 are still deeply in the red and might still take several years to break even never mind profit...

Isn't the optimal solution be finding the historical efficient frontier using these different asset classes and then find an ideal allocation % to apply to each of the types of assets?
There's a free tool available to do just this. VERY POWERFUL;
google backtest for the portfolio visualizer website
And explore, use the tools around there.

A couple of BTC (20-100) is a good investment. But never put all eggs in one basket (BTC).
Diversity is key.
I traded some BTC against physical gold to lock-in some profits and rebalance my portfolio after the recent price rise.
Don't diversify too much. Focus on Bitcoin, there will be another global economic crisis, probably withing next 5 years.Diversity is key.

Global economy hasn't been fixed at all, managers and banks never learned their lesson after 2008 crisis.
Soon bonds, stocks and fiat money could be totally worthless - only Bitcoin, a system which is not a part of official market will survive.
What made you think bonds, stocks and fiat money will be totally worthless? Honestly there is more possibility that bitcoin will be the first one to be worthless once it does not solve its scalability issue. But of course being bitcoin enthusiast, i will choose Bitcoin because of its uptrend price. Hoping scalability issue fixed and political drama between two camps fades.
The SWOT may not perfect because of such elements that are known only by the organization personnel. I agree to the study and research about the business and then analyze the best for investment, but this will not be SWOT it will be critical analysis which can be really helpful.
And gold? Bitcoin is like digital gold, it's gold v2.0 because it is more portable, more divisible. Bitcoin has better potential as well.
Gold is a security, bitcoin is an investment.
Holding both is the way to go.
If I have 100%, the first I buy is 50% gold. Shares or the remaining 30% bond I bought bitcoin. Gold provides long-term benefits, savings for my son someday.

I am a fan of diversified plan. But if I had to choose one, I will go with bitcoin. I think housing market is a bubble ready to burst. Gold is pretty but of no use to me and stock market needs experience. Moreover, the brightest future is of bitcoin. Bitcoin to go.

Which one to buy??
Breakdown of performance for that period (in USD terms):
Bitcoin/USD: +80%
S&P 500 Stocks: +30%
Real Estate (REITs): +26%
Gold: +3%
Bonds: +1%
(Note: Bitcoin performance suppressed due to post insane Chinese-run in late-2013)
definitely bitcoins for the long term.
I don't trust houses because they are in a bubble state everywhere across the world right now, and there is really nobody actually living in these investment houses. All they are bought for is holding value or renting out, the buyer is rarely the actual people living there.
And gold? Bitcoin is like digital gold, it's gold v2.0 because it is more portable, more divisible. Bitcoin has better potential as well.
Bonds? Way too small of a return on your investment.
If I have all the money to invest, I would definitely spread it across investment instruments that have different risk levels. I would even start a few businesses or go into franchising or just be an angel investor. But bitcoin seems to be one of the highest yielding investments right now, especially if you were able to buy even by September last year when the price was idled at $600.
For me, Bitcoin is the best, whatever people say about bitcoin. Because i have been done stocks, Forex trading and also gold. But i realize bitcoin is a best way. Because you could start investment with bitcoin in a less capital and could make money from it in a high level. And the best thing about bitcoin, it is more easy to earn than others investments.
Yes, the charming characteristics of the bitcoin is that you don’t need a huge capital to invest. You can start with a few hundred dollars while can enjoy the crunch of a high return and even the charm is enhanced when it adds additional earnings to your capital. For me like many others it is a most suitable investment, where the net worth of my capital increases time to time and I also make enough from it to drive my life well. Prices are trading at $1570 right now. It means you got doubled if you have invested with bitcoins some 6 months back, will it possible with any other investments ?
Apparently none of those according to zerohedge:

The article does not mention bitcoin since it is an highly speculative asset but it says that every other asset out there already overpriced because of the FED's money printing policy. Every other asset but "grain".
It doesn't make sense to me to fill my home with grain bags though it might become handy in wwIII.

If all assets are overpriced, Bitcoin is too. Because of quantitative easing, money has flown into almost all assets.
The only reason why grain prices haven't taken off is that governments will not allow a basic need like food to become very expensive.

I too would recommend to buy bitcoins instead of other assets.I would advice not to wait for any dumps as dumps would be very rare here after and waiting for dumps would lead to buy bitcoins at much higher price.Only bullish trend would continue here after.
For those who are risk bearers, who don’t hesitate to take risk the bitcoin is the best asset for them. Due to the fluctuating feature of the bitcoin some people may think of it to invest in it or something else but a risk taking and market understanding person will never let this opportunity go. Even these who have avoid to invest in their past in it are now crying for it. Jump to:
