Your preference between the stock & bitcoin market.

[viljy]

Recent events have shown that in the event of serious problems in the world, such as the conflict between Iran and Israel, people flee stocks as well as bitcoin. When times are really uncertain, people prefer tangible assets to all virtual assets, which is why we see the price of gold and oil rising.

Choosing between stocks and bitcoin doesn't make sense at all. These are exchange-traded commodities intended for speculation. Moreover, they are very fragile. Shares have value as long as there is a state with its laws. If the United States collapses, what will happen to stocks? Shareholders' ownership rights will be reset. Well, bitcoin exists only as long as the Internet exists. No Internet, no Bitcoin. That's the big problem. All financial assets are peacetime instruments.

In difficult times, only tangible assets have value. As a universal equivalent, it is gold. And, of course, resources and food. Please note that oil has value during wars and cataclysms, not shares of oil companies.

Let's discuss; Of course bitcoin investors has always wished for the stock market to be inflated or get hit by recession and cause it investment decline so that bitcoin market could catch the attention of investors.

I have never wished the stock market to be hit by a recession because many companies, employees, and their families are going to be affected by it. Just because I am into Bitcoin, doesn't mean that I agree to this one and I've never wished them bad at all because looking out the box has something bigger than my and your investment. Bitcoin has already got the attention of the world and the bigger market players and that's why they're also here already. Going with the Bitcoin ETFs and actually buying Bitcoin for them to hold. If you're into diversification, you can still go ahead and buy some stocks that you prefer while holding Bitcoin. There is no need to be like those folks that have hated Bitcoin because they have a preferred stocks to hold.

I don't think it is subject to argument that Bitcoin stand out when compared to any investment instrument at the moment. The advantages of Bitcoin are just too numerous and the one that standard out include but not limited to decentralisation, privacy, accessibility and high liquidity. There are many other advantages that Bitcoin have over the traditional assets including other forms of instruments but those mentioned are convincing enough to make any smart person chose Bitcoin over stocks or anything.

When it comes to investment, speculation, what people care about most is profit, legality, they don't care about whether it's decentralized or centralized, privacy. That's why we have huge money flowing into bitcoin every day but mostly through ETFs.

Although bitcoin is globally accessible, not everyone has the basic knowledge to access it. The only thing the bitcoin market has over stocks is that they operate 24/7.
Bitcoin's liquidity is also not comparable to stocks because the capitalization and trading volume of stocks are many times larger than bitcoin.

In short, bitcoin is attracting the attention of investors simply because it is a new investment and has the potential to bring higher returns.

yours might be different.. but i would say....

I respect the stock market and experiment with Bitcoin.
Let your core wealth grow in stocks.
Let your curiosity or conviction play out with Bitcoin—but only money you can afford to lose.

Also:

Want sleep-at-night confidence? Go heavier on stocks.
Want thrill and tech-driven upside? Add some Bitcoin, but treat it like a volatile ingredient, not the whole meal.
 
Finally-  Stocks are about building a life.
Bitcoin is about taking a chance.
Both have value, it depends on what stage you're in and how much risk you’re willing to emotionally and financially handle.

My preference is Bitcoin by far, I’ve made more money in Bitcoin than I ever could from the stock market. It’s a good thing to diversify though even if you prefer one asset or investment type over the other. I would advise you to have some stocks also.

I also prefer Bitcoin, in my history of investing, no other asset has taken over my profits with bitcoin. Despite that I've sold during the early days, it's still profitable for me during this bull run and that's incomparable if I went for some stocks that I have no idea if they'd be good or not. Or let's say that they have been good for all of these years and they have appreciated in value but, none of them can be compared to how Bitcoin went through all of these years with its capital appreciation and it's not stopping anytime soon. And even with all of the geopolitics, it's resilient.

Your opinion will be appreciated if you can contribute based on the thread title because it begin to feel like the speculation is forcing everyone to hold bitcoin while it's an alternative and besides life has been fair before bitcoin and still fair for lot of people not holding it.

I do not think that speculation is the one forcing everyone to hold Bitcoin, it is the entire price history of Bitcoin that makes everyone realize that they if they buy today and hold, they might double or triple the value of their stash.  After all, traders, investors, and businessmen always prefer profit and if the history of a market strongly shows how it value exploded for just a short period of time, with a finite supply, and a young market with so much room to grow, the value appreciation of Bitcoin is inevitable.

My honest truth that might be scarce here is that you should invest in an asset depending on the status of the asset and its future prospects. Be it Bitcoin or stocks, don't be a blind investor, and never invest in any of them at their peak.

It's good to say that Bitcoin has hit above $110k, but who knows how long it will take to reach $120k, which is very close to its peak? Anyone buying Bitcoin at above 100k should never compare themselves to anyone who bought at below $10k, for instance. The risk varies, and so does the potential gains, which should be a crucial factor in the investment.

As for stocks, cheap stock of a good company is a good factor to consider. Like Tesla, it sold much, buying it at that low is a very good choice. I hope you understand the gist.

This reply made by pooya87 on the thread is the catalyst that triggered my motion on this thread.
Now straight to base, let's say the utmost attraction of bitcoin is it hedge of value which is why the whalers are savings their assets in the blockchain and basically it resourcefulness of yielding incomes is also why we the retails are Investing on it which I take for self enrichment and not contributing to the global economy.

On the go, all we strives for while invested on bitcoin is to provide or secure funds that we could use to solve our daily life needs. Right?
Let's discuss; Of course bitcoin investors has always wished for the stock market to be inflated or get hit by recession and cause it investment decline so that bitcoin market could catch the attention of investors.
If this economic market have to breakdown as anticipating, hope we're aware of the destabilization it would cause in our societies in the same economic we lives when bitcoin purchase power flippened over the economy market significantly constant inverse? because as it's, not everyone is investing on bitcoin which means it'd be chaotic if only enthusiasts are potential buyers of the goods. Moreover the the price of the goods and services would be hiked too meaning we'll be spending more on the stock than in a lively economy.

There's not really a bitcoin market in the same way as there is a stock market. Sure, across all cryptocurrencies you could say it's a bit similar, but not for a single one. Bitcoin has high volatility than the overall stock market - this can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on your perspective. While it has certainly matured a lot in the 16 years of it's existence, the longer something has been around, the more inherent trust it is going to build - do the stock market might always have an advantage for centuries to come. Personally I think keeping a maximum of 5% of my portfolio in a single speculative asset like Bitcoin (or all cryptocurrency) is the maximum allocation I'll give it, but I'm rather more risk adverse than some people here.

Literally if we talk about priorities of investors on investments, bitcoin would always take the lead and to be honest, bitcoin own it all in different comparisons if considers regulatory policies which I believe can be biased in the stock. Also talks about custodial, bitcoin takes the lead because every bitcoin investors has the privilege to personally control their funds unlike the centrslized commodities. Is it about profit returns? The volatilities of bitcoin holds it every tendencies to yield profitable returns, though may be uncertainty due to the unpredictable market while the stock can be easily be manipulated for short term goals to be achieved.

Simply not true.
Some stocks outperformed Bitcoin especially when viewed in non hodling time frames.

Between stocks and Bitcoin will actually be an easy choice depending on who is making the choice. If it were me who currently has a great interest in Bitcoin then the answer would be quite simple, namely I would prefer to keep Bitcoin and make it a long-term investment. But if this question is asked to shareholders and that person doesn't understand Bitcoin then the answer is predictable, namely that they will choose shares. But we also have to realize that the stock market and bitcoin are currently indicators of global economic conditions. Like the current stock market crash, it often has the same impact on Bitcoin. For example, news of war can cause stock prices to plummet and so can Bitcoin. Even economic news regarding bank interest rates, recession and inflation also have an impact on stocks and bitcoin. So I feel like nothing is truly superior. Because it will depend on the person being asked the question. But since I'm the one answering now, yes, I prefer Bitcoin. Because I am amazed by the decentralized system that Bitcoin has. And I also like the transparency of transactions on the blockchain.

You can be investing in stock or in bitcoin at the same time.
So far I've seen nobody wishing the stock market to get hit by recession, this statement is just so wrong. Stock and bitcoin both are risky asset to invest and can be really profitable.

Stock degen usually trade crypto as well, some exchange even going as far as integrating stock, etf, bonds and so on into their market although they are crypto exchange market because they know crypto trader usually trade stock as well.
in my opinion, speaking about prospect of investment, bitcoin is as good as those bluechip stocks if not even better.

Bitcoin by nature, it is too volatile but less risky than stocks because now it's heading for new era in finances world things are getting interesting and peoples are feeling more confident instead of having stocks which are always faced too many aspects. Bitcoin have ups and downs in past, but now things are stable with many countries are feeling good because they are working on having this bitcoin into their main streamline so just because of this now it's getting more intention from peoples investments are increasing, and confidence level is also going high.

Those peoples were afraid of stocks now having good chance of investing into bitcoin because it's getting good backup from big corporations which are feeling bitcoin is future and having investment here always give better response.

Bitcoin drops by 2k US$ are not that uncommon, name a dew shares which managed that?

The situation can also change the direction of investment, because everyone who invests has the same goal, which is to gain profit. I think in conditions of instability due to war, for example, people who previously tended to choose Stocks or Bitcoin, could also switch to gold as a safe haven. Under normal conditions, I would also choose to invest in Bitcoin, because we have seen the potential for promising profits. If we look at the price movement of Bitcoin in the past year, Bitcoin has increased by 61%, that can be a reasonable reason why we choose Bitcoin.

Taking stocks calculation on whatever the best moment they are, is not a way to calculate it right. Sure, stocks like Nvidia for example, increased a lot, but nothing as big as bitcoin has increased like this for long period of time. Think about it this way, Nvidia is up now, but will they be up forever like this? In 10 years, do you see bitcoin higher or Nvidia higher? And whose valuation is higher at the moment?

It's obvious that we are going to deal with none of these for the long term because bitcoin beats them all. Bitcoin went up higher than Nvidia during the previous period too, the only difference is, right now Nvidia is looking better, but that's only for now and for the next 5 to 10 years, I am sure bitcoin will be better choice.

What you said is true and I have never seen any stock that can survive for long after dropping $2,000 because for most stocks that amount is huge. But for Bitcoin, the amount of price drop that much is very normal and does not even make more people panic because it is very common for Bitcoin prices. In addition, Bitcoin also has such strong support in any condition that it can also recover faster after experiencing a fall in that amount, so it is not surprising when we see Bitcoin which was at $102K can immediately return to $107K in just two days.
