It's true that investing in Bitcoin is riskier than in real estate. But if we are of investing only what we can afford to lose, I would choose BTC still. Especially at this point, when Bitcoin costs 3 times less than not so long ago. We've been there, BTC was dropping from $20k to $3k, and then rising from there upwards to $70k some years later. I don't think we can name areal estate that had risen so much in a relatively short period of time.
I agree with you. If you actually think critically about it, if you only have limited extra money as capital for investment it is best to choose Bitcoin. There are only a few good real estate investments that require small capital that falls within the good category that guarantees profit and these days the same goes for business. Hence, for small-time individuals who have a tight budget for investment capital and are not as knowledgeable regarding economics and the current state of the market, it is better to settle for BTC. Such a fact is one of the very reason as to why even students and middle-class individuals are drawn to BTC investments these days.
Yes, it's true, as you said, bitcoin reaches everyone. This is very different if you invest in real estate without including the costs of purchasing and real estate debt. These costs can include loan arrangement fees, interest paid to the bank, stamp duty, survey fees, home insurance, contents insurance, property tax, ongoing repairs and maintenance costs.
If you rent it out, you have to pay income tax plus you have to devote your own time to managing the property or pay someone to manage it for you. All of these costs can add up to hundreds of thousands over the life of your purchase and will eventually eat into capital gains. If you time the market poorly (e.g. buying high and selling low), you may not make as big a profit and at best the property will only be able to keep up with inflation.
People just see prices going up but don't really consider all the costs involved. If they run the numbers right, they will see that this is not a good investment and certainly not passive. Just buy Bitcoin and relax.
Although real estate has historically been regarded as a secure investment, it is not without its own set of difficulties and expenses... and boy, are there expenses! Loan costs, interest, stamp duty, repairs, insurance, and taxes - the list goes on and on. Not to mention the time and energy that will be wasted should you choose to rent it out. Managing properties? That's a full-time job in itself
Let us now discuss Bitcoin. It is the present moment and not the future. It is digital, decentralized, and global in scope. Absence of covert fees, physical maintenance, and property managers. Investment that is uncomplicated, plain, and pure. Individuals must enlighten themselves and recognize the broader context. Real estate possesses certain advantages; however, when all expenses are considered, the returns may not be as favorable as they initially appear. In contrast, Bitcoin presents a more efficient and, dare I say, unhurried approach to investment. Why then be complicated? Invest in Bitcoin and watch the magic unfold
