Well, I for one don't like the idea of stocks. I will rather put my money into crypto investment than do it in stocks. I don't know if it's because of the hanky panky way I perceive stocks are handled in my country that has made lose faith in that sector or it's just my thinking that crypto investments give better ROI than stocks. Any day, any time, I'm more settled in cryptos than stocks for now.
I think stocks can be global, as there are lots of companies around the world. So if you have doubts in stocks in your own country, then just ignore them and try stocks on other countries instead. As for me, I don't have enough interest on stocks even if that. I think it is because I am not used to them or I see them more complicated than in crypto. The icons in cryptos are also colourful that I think even kids can be attracted with it easily. Guess that is another reason to add. Your thinking is right.
Cryptos can really give better ROI due to their nature like they have a very limited supply. This is another plus point for them, for some people, as that also comes with a consequence, which makes some people prefer stocks.
