Crypto currency is very much easy for a newbie to buy and earn more compared to stock , because most times in the stock market you need to go as far as getting a share certificate to buy stock too
I believe its better to invest in what you knows better than investing in what you don't know anything about, so i prefer investing in crypto currency like bitcoin ,litecoin and ethereum because I know much about them.
Bitcoin investment is more profitable but high risk, while stock investment is less profitable when compared to bitcoin, but less of a high risk. So if I have a reasonable amount of money and I wish to invest, I will go for stock market investment for my peace of mind.
I'll say bitcoin for me because of the fact that it allows for a high profitability margin; I mean, imagine the percentage increase in the price of this coin from 2019 till now (over 100,000% increase). No stock can match that.
