Bitcoin VS Real Estate

Hello everyone, I’ve recently heard about investors telling people to invest in bitcoin.it seems odd that almost every day I'm seeing a ad to purchase bitcoin so that is raising a flag in my mind.. 

anyways I thought I’d ask the everyone on here what their opinions are on this so call amazing investment that seems to be bubbling faster than anything else... 

I have a few  investor friends that are currently investing in it and I keep telling them they are better off with Real Estate

Some people are saying they’re in it for the long haul while other think its a trend that is soon to end.

What do you think?

Bitcoin and Real Estate are two completely different asset classes. Real Estate is tested and proven over centuries to provide the opportunity for wealth with crashes once every few decades and Bitcoin is a unproven cryptocurrency that uses block chain technology. Will Bitcoin crash?  I don't know. Am I invested? Yes. But i haven't invested more than i'm willing to lose. I look at Bitcoin as betting at the black jack table & real estate is a real investment that i feel i can make calculated risks with.
