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.

Crypto and stocks have always been the favorite comparison of majority when it comes to the topic of investments. However, these two serves their own purposes and I believe they are intended for different reasons, only that they have similar functions such as in terms of investing, hence people pit them from one another.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency which may serve as an alternative to fiat money. It is decentralized, meaning there's no entity, organization, or institution that controls and regulates. It used in online transactions only that, it provides stricter security when it comes to identity. It is also a medium and platform to generate money such as when joining the paid campaigns and by investing. Meanwhile, stock market is centralized which stocks belong. It is regulated by the government to avoid and manage the emergence of fraudaulent transactions and illegal activities. Stocks are equities that are part or portion of a company or corporation. People usually invest in stocks because of its long term value.

Personally, I think its better to have both because both can generate good stream of income. They can make your money profit in a certain span of time and are nice platform to put the hard-earned money because of its potentials and function. However, also take note that these mediums are also risky. So invest at your own risk. Crypto is volatile. So is the stocks depending on the economy's trend.

Invest wisely. Diversify. Never put all of your eggs in one basket because it can cost you so much later.
