I was a gold buff before learning about bitcoin. If there was no bitcoin I’d be buying more gold and real estate. What about you?
Probably just a plain market neutral ETF, like Vanguard's VT. I wasn't much of a stock picker.
Besides investing, most of my money would go to tech related stuff [1].
it still goes, as of today 😅 ↩
Yup VOO/VTI for me
I used to like VTI too back in the day [1], but VT seemed like the "easier" option.
Also SPY. ↩
For those unaware, VT is passive ownership of the entire global public stock market, while VTI is also passive but US market only.
I was obsessed with silver. If there were no Bitcoin, I would buy silver

That chart is really bullish, silver ready to explode? If not bitcoin gold and silver for sure and watches for fun
Silver will shock everyone. I think the next 6 years will be full of surprises.
I got into it a bit around 2016 and that's what I thought then. I mean, it hasn't crashed more, but it sure wasn't the absolute best investment. I still like the physicality of it.
Physical silver?
It seems that the project managers will discover that as the project grows
It would have been much similar a story for everyone responsible and intelligent.
Art paintings and sculpture, also Persian carpets
I wouldn't have thought about Persian carpets. So it doesn't lose value over time and it can be traded easily? I have heard interesting stories about soccer players buying paintings as well.
Yes, handmade Iranian carpets from the late 19th century are very scarse and hand-woven by fine craftsmen. Art is scarce, also Pow imho.
Gold and maybe silver.
seeds and land
I'd probably be doing gold and some mix of big tech, real estate has way too much friction and leakage of value
A rope?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 first time?
Lots of guns.
Probably as much NVIDIA exposure as I could get. At least until AI hype dies down.
I don't know because it is very difficult to find another Asset that has the characteristics that make Bitcoin what it is.
I would buy Gold, Silver, Coca Cola and other stocks to generate cashflow via dividends, Oil, Watches, lands, real estate, startup companies
If bitcoin didn't exist I would buy land, ammo, gold, real estate, silver & other commodities.
I would also probably be maxing my 401K, indexing and trying to invest where the hockey puck is going (life extension stocks, AI, gaming and EVs).
If Bitcoin didn't exist I would probably have a much more pessimistic view of the world as well.
If Bitcoin did not exist, well, I think I would be investing in real estate... something from a quite profitable and profitable point of view... Thank God Bitcoin exists😅
Travel experiences
Definitely gold. Actually I have a gold coin and a bullion at home.
Real estate, gold, and VC
If there was no bitcoin and I didn't know anything about bitcoin I'd probably be trying to lever up on real estate.
If Bitcoin just suddenly died I might use my saving to buy a mix of harder assets that I can keep for a few years and resell. Or try to get some kind of cash yield. Lend cash savings for interest.
Bitcoin help me to see the light, the idea of less government and more people what help me to wake up everyday thinking how to reduce government power !
Video games and fiat food
Gold and Silver most likely.
Thanks
Tesla.
Lube for the state.
Real estate
gold and silver? What else is there to buy?
real estate? stocks?
I dont know about real estate. Stock is manipulated like crazy.
it isn't possible to manipulate things that are publicly traded (in significant amounts for significant time)
If it was possible to manipulate them, it would create arbitrage opportunities.💸💸
If there are no arbitrage opportunities where you become unfathomably rich, then there were no market inefficencies and therefore no manipulation
This video on the megacorp is very interesting. I didnt realize retail was so little compared to everyone else.
Robinhood wasn't founded until 2013 so it makes sense.
Stocks are easily manipulated.
are you taking advantage of that fact then?
no, I am not. You have to have a large amount of money, or have an inside secret.
I'd have fun staying poor spending infinite money in night clubs
Reminds me of the question that @kr always asks in his podcast to the LN developers he interviews. The question often falls flat as most of the people he interviews see Bitcoin as completely different from conventional asset classes. My wife probably sees Bitcoin as an investment, at the same level of stocks, real estate, etc, with the associated need to time the market, but for me, I'd probably just hold it and/or use it whenever possible (and replacing it using fiat from my next paycheck). So I don't really see Bitcoin as something I'm buying (as usually, that entails selling it).

Me too
These days anything you buy is better than the cash.
