If I would be given a chance to have a capital of half a million dollars, I would literally choose real estate for a passive stable income, cryptocurrency for long term hodling purposes, precious stones and jewelries, rare gold and silver coins. I don't like businesses myself because it won't work for me.

If the priority is long-term storage with low risk, real estate can be the best choice for stable passive income. People who own a business and have been successful in business can buy real estate and also save their money in the form of crypto assets. Not everyone is successful in business, maybe for that reason some people don't like doing business. However, if you survey several people who have wealth above the average, the majority of their main income comes from doing business.

Investing; it's a heavy term, no? We're comparing real estate and cryptocurrency, two very distinct fields. Real estate requires knowledge and talent, as you say. This field requires knowledge of markets, geography, and property values. Is cryptocurrency really easier for real estate novices?

Despite its simplicity, cryptocurrency is risky. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies face market volatility, legislative changes, and technological weaknesses. Does that make them safer for beginners? Not necessarily. Real estate and cryptocurrency require deep understanding to navigate. Could cryptocurrency investment's seeming simplicity hide its hazards and complexities?

Investing is never uniform. Understanding the nuances of your field (real estate or cryptocurrency) is key. Is it about learning and investing carefully in an area, or about choosing the lesser of two complexities?

So what kind of knowledge and skills do you need to invest in the real estate business? Where do you live? As I know for real estate business you need money... and not just some amount of money, we are talking about big money. The bigger the city and the closer we are to the center, the figures only increase, we are talking about millions of dollars here.

OP started this topic with "Let's imagine that you have half a million US-Dollar/Euro/GBP"... well, let's imagine you have 100$ and can you (or anyone) explain me how to get into the real estate business with 100$? What kind of knowledge and skills can help me?

Sometimes we are just spending time but don't show any attention in getting education about it. If we demand to be successful then we should also do the things that are essential in our well deserved success. Sometimes we think that we do all the things then why we fail to get rewards the reason is that we don't deserve it because just money is not needed to make money but your abilities also have strong impact on your attainment.

I don't agree with those people who says that if they enter into the profitable business then their recompense will be 100% certain but it also be conditional on your management that how you take this business and how you manage the difficulties comes in you ways.

Let's imagine that you have half a million US-Dollar/Euro/GBP and want to feel financially safe and build a better future.
1. Real estate - It's probably one of the safest investment option out there. Inflation rises, rent and apartment prices rise too, if inflation turns into deflation, your rent/apartment price still remains the same. With half a million, you can buy two or more good apartments in eastern Europe and live on your rent income.

2. Cryptocurrencies are very volatile but rewarding. If you have a discipline and don't let your emotions take control over your decisions, then you can probably grow your capital by 200-500% a year. At least I think so, I think that's possible if one spends most of his time on exchanges and if necessary, spends some nights. So, crypto is very volatile and rewarding but another problem here is that you are dependent on exchanges, what will you do if they don't let you withdraw? Another problem is that you have to take care of your coins because once they are gone, they are gone forever.

3. Business - It's like an income generated by Proof Of Work algorithm. Depends on the business and the person, one can achieve a huge financial success and influence or a total failure. But a big and successful business can outperform real estate and crypto investments. To my mind, proof of work is the only thing that can deal with absolutely any kind of financial crisis and disasters.

Which one would you choose from these and why?

I think business should be my first pick before others. Although nothing is guaranteed in this world but each come with lesser risk than each other. The volatility of. Crypto can easy make you lose all your money in crypto especially if being too greedy.

We really have to focus more on choosing things we can do now. Real Estate definitely attracts everyone's attention and everyone definitely wants it. But not everyone is able to enter the real estate field. Likewise in business. Not everyone has sufficient capital to start a business. But through crypto, even those who have small capital can still enter and trade in it. But with the condition that you must have sufficient insight before entering.

Real Estate requires the largest capital, Business also requires large capital but not as much as Real Estate, and crypto requires the smallest capital. But if we have large capital, then entering all three at once may be possible with financial division that has been adjusted to the level of risk being taken.

We want to think that we know what to expect from Bitcoin, but imagine if the price now drops to 10k and remains at this level for several years, how much will this affect our investments, real estate in this regard seems more stable, and may lose value more than 70% of its value only in extreme cases, but real estate does not have the same profitability as Bitcoin. Each case must be considered separately.

 If you want to succeed in the crypto business, you still have to start with a reasonable capital so that it will really affect you when the coin starts to dip. Investing in bitcoin still requires a reasonable amount to begin. Though the capital may not be as bulky as going into real estate or starting a business. They’re still some businesses that doesn’t require large capital to begin and yet such businesses still survive. The three options are very lucrative business one should look forward in starting if they haven’t yet.
  Acquiring land is a good asset to have, and if you can’t afford the capital to get one, crypto investment with a reasonable capital is also a good option. I keep illustrating on the capital cause it will really give  you the edge of keeping your portfolio afloat. And of course you can’t start up something you have no idea about, so it best you have idea of the mode of execution you want to achieve. You can have idea and have the best analyst but due to the fact that we don’t have the power to predict the price action of the coins couple with the high volatility of the market, if you want to start with a small capital like you’ve said. You will see your money vanishing right in your eyes if the market should go against your analysis. Its advisable to begin with a reasonable capital so you won’t be an example to circumstances.
