BTC VS Stocks: What's the Difference?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

What happens when you buy a stock?

When you are trading or investing in a stock, you are actually purchasing a contract through a broker for the underlying value of the company. That broker then also has another contract with the company, and the company is then registered with the SEC and so on...

Basically nobody knows what you're actually buying and as soon as you think you have it figured out it can be manipulated since it is all on paper anyway.

How is Bitcoin different?

By buying BTC you are investing in a piece of the ACTUAL blockchain technology. Furthermore, Bitcoin being decentralized means that no banking or government agency has the right to confiscate or hold your Bitcoin. 

The stock market is a bit different because it relies on fiat currency to keep alive, and fiat has a long history of being manipulated. DID YOU KNOW?: BANKS ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO HOLD 10% OF THE MONEY YOU SEE IN YOUR ACCOUNT. The rest is being laundered through the criminal systems such as the fed, black market for bonds, and devaluing currency to neutralize the bank's debts - all of which is encouraged by the legal systems of the world.
