Investing in Bitcoin vs. real estate. While these asset classes both do different things, investors only need to know which can make them more money. With Bitcoin’s wild runup in 2021 and its current crash down to 2017 prices, investors want to know whether or not an entry into Bitcoin makes sense. Avid real estate investors are wary of investing in Bitcoin due to its volatility, lack of consistent cash flow, and inability to force appreciation.
Is all this hate unwarranted or do real estate investors have good reason to not trade their cash flow for crypto? Maybe you should ask James Dainard. He’s entrenched in real estate investing, with dozens of projects going on at any given time. But, unlike most real estate investors, he’s dipped his toes in the deep end of DeFi by starting up a cryptocurrency mining farm a few years back.
While James’ mining farm didn’t work out as he planned, he still sees the value of investing in cryptocurrency to this day. If you’ve been struggling with whether or not to hop on the Bitcoin bandwagon as crypto prices head back down, James may have just the information you need to make a decision.

Everyone loves the luxury life the problems most people have about buying luxuries are having enough money to buy one, but that won't matter if you have a stable financial life.
Always good to hear your thoughtful and logical analysis. < I don't care about bullish or bearish market. Trade a small percentage of your portfolio rather than going in and out every couple weeks trying to time the market. trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 8.4 BTC when I started at 1.7 BTC in just few weeks implementing Roger Chongan's daily trading signals and tips
thank you for this information .. . iam trying to apply it and understand more of it ..
This might be the one time on this channel that spam "buy bitcoin" comments are actually relevant to the video.
Don't forget to invest with "whoever is paying for the bots"! They made me millions! or something
2022 crypto price now should be in every wise individual list, in some weekly time you will be ecstatic with decision you made today
This is all true in a bull market, but what about a bear market? Which is better in a bear market?
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies(BTC, ETH.)
I do real estate for long term wealth and cashflow. Stock options for income and crypto for huge FU money. Its not vs for me. I use them all.
I recommend bitcoin because it gives you that 10× real quick but then you have to go on and buy real estate with money made from bitcoin that's what I did and it works out just fine I just haven't tried stocks yet.
Great content! 100% real is the way! Brrrr, hold, flip etc 👍🙌
Put the cash flow from your properties into Bitcoin.
My greatest happiness is the $ 28,000 biweekly profit I get consistently
the giant red flag is right at the start…"i'm not a crypto currency expert"….just turn it off and get an expert in both areas (crypto/real estate) and have an educated conversation
The amount of verified information you bring is tremendous.. <Bitcoin continues its wild swings between $19-21.5K the market dynamics of the last few days indicate that the whales are making some big transfers of bitcoin from one pocket to another. <Either this is an attitude of speculation in the range or whipping up froth to attract capital from retail investors who may feel that the low point has been passed. <Additionally, the 2022 volume profile is very thin, between $32-$37k if bulls want to send a message to the market that a new uptrend is about to begin, then they will need to push Bitcoin price to a daily close near $44k. <Macro factors are demanding further downside, as the impact of inflation and geopolitical strife is clearly felt on equities markets. Until BTC reclaims the key moving averages these are considered distribution rallies used to sell the rip or add to short positions…But whatever you lose in a macro downtrend, you'll gain multiples back in a macro uptrend. All you have to do is pay attention to the markets when they are ultra bearish. Everyone was super bullish on the markets, but now the markets start to correct, and the fear takes over, as retail trader at these volatile times I keep profiting regardless using accurate trade signals from Marcus Benedict. <There might be so many investments out there but if profits must be considered, which is actually the sole aim of every Investment then I’ll advice you to go into crypto tradiing because it has higher profit returns. I was able to easily increase my portfolio in just trading with Mr Marcus Benedict daily signals growing 0.1 BTC to 1.0 BTC. His daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment and is available to give assistance to anyone who love crypto trading, you can contact him for inquires and profitable trading systems on Telegram @marcusBfx_official ** for any crypto related issues .stayhome…
Impressed you guys did BTC vs real estate not "Crypto" vs real estate
Invest in crypto now since prices are extremely low. Crypto will 10-12x in 2yrs-3yrs. $100k in 2022 = over $1Million in 2024-2025.
great information. thanks for sharing
So if he had invested 84k over two years to run the mining operation plus what he bought the miners for, he would have made 100 million dollars? I think the debate is over at that point. He just needed the stones to hodl. Bitcoin wins.
Even with the current dip in crypto currency's I'm still glad I can smile 😊 back at my portfolio of $109,700 built form my weekly trade, I'm having my fourth withdrawal in 10 business days😊
The best is to diversify. I've got both crypto and real estate
Title says Bitcoin,
Mentions other cryptocurrencies.
That’s how you know Bitcoin is here to stay.
Good to see James , doing more bP, content .. great assessment
