Suspending a stock for some reason is a thing, closing down the whole stock market for 2 days (the weekend) is another. And, to be honest, I've been wondering for quite a while if in this era it still makes sense closing the stock market for the weekend or the night. And the same goes with bank transfers, it's ridiculous that banks don't process automated transactions during the weekends and/or holidays. I think that at this point thinks should be more automated, it's 2024, not 1980.

Is that supposed to be surprising or fascinating? I don't find anything special in Bitcoin having more trading hours than any stock market because they have a lot of differences and the main reason that marks this difference is the fact that Bitcoin is a digital currency, and it doesn't have hours off unlike stock markets of any country where there are hours when the market is closed and re-opens the other day, there are even holidays and stuff where the stock markets are closed. So obviously, something that goes off and on each day or week can't be compared with something that stays online 24/7, 365 days a year.

The only thing that shows the significance of Bitcoin in this comparison is that there are absolutely no restrictions or delays in it. You buy it whenever you want, and you sell it back whenever you want as well. There is no time when you can't trade Bitcoin which makes it easier than stocks market because if you buy a stock, the market gets closed, it loses value in those hours, you will be at a loss because you couldn't sell when you needed to. The same can be said for profits that you may miss because of closed hours.

Edit: @OP, please correct the number of hours in your post for the stocks market which is "100,737" and you have written "10,737".

I suppose it is so given that Bitcoin market never sleeps.  But that likely says more about the apples v oranges comparison than anything too meaningful about Bitcoin itself.  Its not exactly matching up the entire global crypto market cap against the whole world's stocks.  Just Bitcoin on its own nonstop trading against one countrys stocks during their business hours.  Still an interesting statistic, but probably more technicality than significance as far as comparing the legitimacy of both markets.

I think one factor is about the weekend closing and shifts for weekdays for the stock market. Whilst for bitcoin, its downtime was just a few decimals in percentage so, it's a big factor and it's running time since it was launched was 99.98% based on bitcoinuptime.com
There were only two downtimes (2010 & 2013) that it has got but that was more than a decade ago when it was still on its infancy.

Bitcoin is unregulated because it is traded on exchanges almost all the time and that is why bitcoin has no rules regarding trading hours and even bitcoin is online almost every second so it has no limits.
The stock market is not like that because there are limits for opening and closing orders and it is regulated in such a way, this is in contrast to bitcoin which has no limits for anyone to enter the market to be active in trading.

Sometimes you can't open access to stocks and mutual funds because trading in your country may be closed but you are free to trade in bitcoin without counting hours or anything else.

This reminds us that Bitcoin and its market is decentralised and can be traded
26/7/365. It also means anyone can access the markets without an asset manager.
We dont have to wait for the "markets" to open to buy, sell or trade. There is a sense of
freedom in that!

How decentralized can a market be when the majority of its trading volume is concentrated on centralized exchanges and large transactions are made through bitcoin ETFs? The bitcoin network is decentralized, but the bitcoin market is not as decentralized as we think. And to be more precise, cryptocurrency is a free market because it is not as regulated and tightly managed as other financial markets, but it is not decentralized.

This is an interesting finding but it doesn't say anything and I don't see anything to get excited about. I would be happy if there was news about crypto market cap or liquidity surpassing the stock market. It would be a historic moment but I don't think it will happen.

You missed a zero.

This is a great thing for bitcoin without a doubt. I know that many people do not even care about it, but that is definitely an amazing thing and we should be happy about it without a doubt. I know that it feels like there are some issues but at the end of the day it's what we need and we should be seeing this getting a greater result.

Bitcoin being so much more active means that it applies to the whole world and not just a local thing, and it also means that you do not have to work on it for just eight or nine hours, you can work on it twenty four hours a day and that means you can arrange your timing yourself. Normally it's a nine to five job at stock market, but here, you want to handle something at nine to five? Just go do your trading after six and you will be fine, and you can be flexible like that.

Plus, days are similar too, you could work on the weekends and relax on weekdays if you want sometimes and switch it up, so you can just have better things to do sometimes during weekdays.

Bitcoin market is a global market. Which is open 24 hours, there is no concept of holiday here. Yee is the only market where people of all walks of life, whether young or old, male or female, rich or poor, can work without discrimination. Although it is more popular among youths and students because it starts with very little capital. It is a fast growing business of modern technology.Blockchain technology ensures its security. This business has many qualities and advantages that make it more profitable than the traditional stock market.
