Topic: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment (Read 954 times)

In fact, both systems require human accountability. In conventional banking, we know to secure cards and PINs; in Bitcoin, protect your hardware wallet and seed phrase. Though, traditional banking is often seen as a "safe haven", while Bitcoin is branded risky. Why the difference? Perhaps people trust banks because we've grown up with them despite their risks and failings. Bitcoin's security approach relies on cryptographic principles that provide strong protection when utilized properly.

Is Bitcoin's danger unique, or are we just more aware of its steep learning curve? Your Bitcoin backup strategy point is vital. Bitcoin lets users be their own bank, unlike centralized banks. This empowerment comes with the duty to backup and secure one's possessions, providing self-reliance and technical resilience-based peace of mind. In essence, while the mediums differ the underlying responsibility for security remains the same. Adapting to a new asset management paradigm where varied risks are just another aspect of financial self-sovereignty.

It's simple, because Bticoin is a different Technology , it is something that they left us to Overcome the corrupt system in which we have always lived in our education until these days where the failure of an inflationary economy is Giving its last kicks, don't be surprised Let it happen that the dollar or a strong currency falls, because the inflation that exists in the USA is Incredible, and Bitcoin represents everything contrary, it is like better than gold itself , I know that I could be wrong, but I think that the Bitcoin is more valuable than gold and he is going to leave it behind because he knows it will go up much more and People will look for it like the great Treasure.

When you open your bank account and received your credit or debit cards, you were advised to keep the card safe, same with your mobile or Internet banking details. You are required to protect your secret pins and passwords because if they enter wrong hands, your money will be gone. You accepted these conditions and agreed to be responsible for whatever happens to your account should your information get into the wrong hands. Indeed you call the conventional banking system "peace of mind" but Bitcoin risky meanwhile, the procedure for securing your funds and taking responsibility is similar in concept and in reality... keep your hardware wallets(ATM card, hard token, your phone with the sim card) safe, protect your password and seed phrase (Card pin, mobile and Internet banking password) safe.... same concept,  same responsibilities.  You might argue that you cannot recover your funds if you on the case of loss or you forget your password; this is where backup in different ways comes in.

I'm not denying the fact that there is risk in Bitcoin because everything in life comes with some form of risk. Therefore, I consider the risk in Bitcoin normal with nothing special about it.

Success in any case cannot actually be predicted or guaranteed by ourselves even though we ourselves continue to make supporting efforts so that every plan we have prepared ourselves can run quite well. And when you know about how investment risks can arise and arise, of course you will also really understand how to make plans and will also continue to focus on ways that can make you profitable. The risk is always there and there is no need to be afraid of it because everyone just needs to understand it so they know how to fight it.

One of bitcoin's main characteristic is being your own bank, and on one side is nice because in theory no one can get your bitcoins, on the other hand it also means that if you lose access to your funds nobody can help you, so I wouldn't call that "comfort and peace". Let's be honest, for many people this could be too much, if the majority of your funds are in bitcoin your life is tied to those 12/24 words, without considering of course the possibility to be hacked or making some mistake.

Bitcoin has been the easiest investment I've ever known, maybe it's because of the harsh trading and investment path I followed before actually dealing with it, but I see it as a very free money that anyone experienced could easily tap into. In my opinion, aside from the purchasing and the safekeeping of Bitcoin, I don't see a serious headache required of it from anyone, all the rest are to know how to make your coin grow, that's if you want to play smarter than holding it alone. Bitcoin is a very useful tool on its own that needs only a light learning and might earn for the holder in multiples of what the government investment can offer.

I agree with what you said that every investment must have its own knowledge and expertise. Because without that, investment will not run smoothly, if you don't understand the strategic location then investment will be in vain, likewise investing in bitcoin without knowledge of bitcoin, it is not impossible that we can lose the wallet keys if we don't have knowledge.

Between these two investments, Bitcoin is indeed the best compared to real estate because real estate can lose balance every day. Bitcoin has purchase privacy and the ability to flow through multiple currencies and not be interfered with by central banks is something that is important. Especially as central banks and politicians continue to erode the dollar. In every business there are winners and losers, people don't just live by bread. we just need to take advantage of this opportunity, and if it happens with bitcoin, why not do it.

This is why Bitcoin investment is different from other forms of investment and that's because the Bitcoin market isn't been regulated by the government, the market is independent and been controlled by the community as when there are positive momentums, the market reacts by increasing and when the sentiments are negative the market declines. The government or the regulatory bodies of the financial markets have no direct say on what happens to the Bitcoin market (price) although they have other indirect impact with laws and policies that they pass. An example is when the central banks (government) raise rates to fight inflation, Bitcoin gets more attention from investors looking for alternative means to hedge their wealth against inflation of fiats especially the dollars.


Bitcoin is a valuable assets although not tangible, it's about time we begin to give Bitcoin the respect it deserved. If I'm to choose between Bitcoin and Real estate, I would prefer investing in Bitcoin because of the opportunity Bitcoin has to make more profits than Real estate. Put that same amount of money that you would have used for Real estate investments into Bitcoin and give it fee months and you'll see the outcome of your investments. Bitcoin has more advantage over other forms of investment and you don't have to worry about so many protocols before you can invest into Bitcoin. By just having a secure offline (hardware) wallet or using a wallet like Electrum on an airgapped device, you can Invest into Bitcoin and hodl for as long as you want and make outrageous profits that will take years before Real estate can give you that ROI

Actually, every investment has its own risk that is attached to it, whether high risk or small risk. It is always a risk, and we will be the ones to manage it while investing in such an investment. However, you also said the truth by having multiple sources of income so that if plan A doesn’t work out, plan B will.

Indeed, long term investment is where the beauty of Bitcoin is revealed. However,  you must not have up to 0.5BTC before you realise the gains of Bitcoin. I understand you might be saying this from your own perspective of what it takes to be financially comfortable.  To some people 0.05BTC is such a big amount of money that can help them achieve a lot in life. What is most important is holding Bitcoin irrespective of the quantity,. I see Bitcoin accumulation as a continuous something, nit just a one time thing because nit everyone have the finances to buy in bulk.

One advantage when it comes to bitcoin is that you can invest even small amount of money.
But when you consider real-estate, it may require handsome amount of money and the documentary requirements are a lot.
However, if you do want a tangible asset in your portfolio, you will dedicate some of your resources and time to acquire one.
It is always best to diversify your portfolio, so getting both would be your advantage in the field of investment.

Bitcoin is a safe investment for the long term if you have the ability to buy at least 0.5 btc and up, because if not and you just want to experience a profit here, that's okay too. But if you want to be able to achieve your dreams in life, I don't think it will work, in my opinion.

Though Bitcoin is undeniably a good investment, That's why many big companies and rich people are interested in investing here.
However, Bitcoin can be an instrument for us to be free financially in the future.

Both bitcoin and real estate investing require considerable knowledge and expertise. An advantage of bitcoin investment is that it is not controlled by the government and the individual invests independently and is not influenced by anything. But when the country's economy suffers real estate investment loses its balance. Its value will decrease day by day investing will become easier if the charts can be evaluated correctly in the case of crypto investment.

You're actually right, a simple statement could be read by someone who's gathering information first before they start investing, which can cause misinterpretation cause all of the investment that exists involves risk. That's why there's a phrase that "high risk, high reward" cause it can be considered as a 50/50 outcome which is either profit or loss, this still depends on the knowledge you hold and experience. No need to sugarcoat everything about Bitcoin, because it is much better to introduce investment such as Bitcoin by giving its pros and cons for newbies to be aware, cause if you only focus on the pros, for sure it might shock you if the outcomes is unexpected from what you've read cause there's no such thing as "risk" they said.

There are many types of coins in the market for investment, but why Bitcoin is the best investment, I think its anonymity is the most attractive. Nowadays people want to hide themselves completely. He is totally reluctant to reveal others what wealth he has. And only by investing in Bitcoin can an investor keep himself anonymous as well as establish a reliable investment. While other cryptocurrencies may not have the potential for return on investment, Bitcoin is capable of providing reliable returns on long-term investments there. Considering the above factors I think Bitcoin is the best investment medium.

In my opinion, any investment still contains risk, because in any business there is no such thing as no risk, Bitcoin investment is of course very risky because the price of BTC fluctuates and is difficult to predict and if for example the internet goes down. I think the price of BTC has the potential to fall. So basically everything has advantages and disadvantages, but investing in BTC is certainly very good for those who are ready to accept the risk and also the price of BTC sometimes rises high so we can sell it and make a profit. In my opinion, investment should be varied because of course we also need land and a house to live in.

Investing in BTC does have peace and tranquility, but it must be accompanied by knowledge and correct investment procedures.

This might be a dangerous statement to make

beginners might misinterpret

there’s still risks present in investing that doesn’t mean it’s not profitable anymore risk is defined as an exposure to danger which can be prevented if you invest blindly even if it’s in bitcoin you can still lose your money however you can prevent this by studying the market and being knowledgeable in cryptocurrency

Many people comment that Bitcoin is not made for investment, I would say that this comment is completely negative. People who are knowledgeable and experienced definitely see the good positive aspects about Bitcoin investment and it is profitable. Basically we know that bitcoin helps to give financial freedom to a person, many people can solve their financial problems by investing in bitcoin. In the past, many people bought bitcoins at low prices and sold them when the market price of bitcoins increased and they became financially stable. Moreover, it is wise to invest in bitcoins where there is no financial risk, when you invest in bitcoins, you don't have to risk much for your half. And while in altcoins there are risks and chances of losing your money are high. Basically we know very well that when we invest in real currency we will get very little profit, but when we invest in Bitcoin we will get good amount of profit.

Anything which holds value can be used as an investment. You could invest a million dollars in Venezuela's Bolivar if you wanted to. Some investments are more sound than others and this is why people believe enough in Bitcoin that they want to hold it for many years. The downside to fiat currency is that governments are able to devalue it through inflation making all your hard work go to waste. In comparison to real estate, Bitcoin can't be destroyed by natural or man made disaster.

Because of this physical destruction of investment properties, I prefer people to use bitcoin investment because if it is bitcoin the government cannot do anything because it is decentralized and uncontrollable. How can leader in a country demolished an estate who was build enough or big amount of money. That's is bullshit. Bitcoin was created as digital currency to exchange goods and services. You can you to pay things online. And for it increase in value it becomes and investment.

And since the world government is afraid of it the investment aspect becomes very effective than the Purchasing Power. Because before the buying and selling of goods and services with bitcoin becomes and effective in any country the country government must adopt bitcoin as a legal tender and almost all the governments in the world have not adopted bitcoin to be used so every pro bitcoin is under the investment platform. And we are all waiting for the governments to adopt bitcoin so that the p2p transaction system will work rampantly.
