Why is it better to invest in real estate than in cryptocurrencies?

There are a variety of options for where to put your money these days – and cryptocurrencies are often presented as a quick path to wealth – but real estate still holds the top spot when it comes to long-term safe and profitable investments.

Why? Here are 6 main reasons :

1. Stability and certainty

Real estate prices have a long-term upward trend. Although there are fluctuations, the real estate market is significantly more stable than cryptocurrencies, whose value can fluctuate by tens of percent within a few days - sometimes even hours.

For the property:
• you know what you are buying
• the value is tied to a physical asset
• is not dependent on market sentiment or a tweet from one billionaire

2. Tangible value

Real estate is a real, physical asset that you can use, rent, or sell.
Unlike digital currencies, you have something tangible in your hands that:
• has practical use (housing, recreation, rental)
• will not disappear or “go bankrupt” over time

3. Passive rental income

Cryptocurrencies do not generate any regular income. On the contrary, investing in real estate can bring you a stable monthly income from short-term or long-term rentals.
This not only covers your investment, but often creates long-term passive income.

4. Tax and legal benefits

In many countries, there are for property owners:
• tax breaks
• legal protection of the tenancy relationship
• leverage options (mortgage at favorable interest rates)

Conversely, cryptocurrencies are often:
• complexly taxable
• legally unclear and unregulated
• even banned in some countries

5. Less risk of losing capital

With crypto, you can lose 50% of your investment in a day.
What about real estate? Even if there is a crisis, physical assets remain with you, and in the long term they almost always tend to appreciate in value.

6. Easier planning and control

Real estate allows:
• clear returns
• estimated return on investment
• greater control (tenant selection, management, renovation)

With crypto, the situation is often “in the hands of the market” – returns cannot be planned or guaranteed.

Cryptocurrencies = adrenaline, real estate = security

Cryptocurrencies can be interesting as a complement to an investment portfolio, but certainly not as a main investment. If you are looking for stability, regular income and real value, real estate is a much safer and smarter choice.

Invest wisely – in a future you can actually see, feel and enjoy.
