You can't say that trading bitcoins is going to be better than stocks trading or the other way round. There are thousands of different stocks out there and while some are performing good, others are going to make a big loss. Both types of trading involve different risks that we need to accept. In my opinion the best portfolio is the one that is well diversified and spreads out risk across different asset classes. Nobody knows the future and can tell is with 100% certainty which stock or cryto currency to buy. That is why we shouldn't put all our money into one basket. Owning bitcoins is a good idea and should be part of any investment portfolio, same goes for stocks. Also I wouldn't say that bitcoins are only for longterm earning, while stocks are for shortterm profits. We can make a lot profit over time from stocks, while we can also make a lot of profits in a few days with bitcoins when we buy and sell at the right time. It comes down to what is more comfortable for us, trading assets actively or investing for a longer period of time and not worrying so much about shortterm price movements.
