I'm just curious, are they just the same?
You can see it both as investing but I do think that stock is somewhat different but I am not sure about that because I have never done something with stocks.
I am just making use of Bitcoin but maybe that I some day will look in to stock as well.
in some ways yes because buying bitcoin is already an investment so if you play with it long term or short term you are aiming to profits from this investment same with buying stocks the principle is to gain profits you just needed to learn more about the investment that you are in with.
