People have often compared crypto to stocks since owning a coin, represents your "share" of the decentralized blockchain network. Exchanges act as brokers in a similar fashion to traditional stocks. While stocks are fiercely regulated, crypto is the "wild west". Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, while stocks are much more stable. Despite crypto/Blockchain tech's popularity, stocks are still preferred by mainstream investors and traders alike.

Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks? Is crypto getting closer to becoming regulated just like stocks? What do you think will happen if institutional investors come into play? Will stocks transition themselves to the Blockchain? Or is it still too early to tell? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
As you may guess since we are in a bitcoin forum most people are going to prefer bitcoin over any other type of investment, the great advantage of stocks is that stocks can pay dividends unlike bitcoin, now some coins have tried to imitate this behavior but the problem is that they have done so by becoming PoS when we know the best way to secure the network is PoW and as such that is a compromise that we should never accept.
