Right now, best thing to buy is bitcoin, as the hardfork drama is going on and price has fallen from $1200+ to $1080.
So after this drama gets over in near future, price will surely surge back to the previous high.
I think the drama is over, for now. The price is increasing in a steady phase. So it likely that the price will surely pick up to where it was pre-ETF and maybe more. If I have big money to invest, I would go to real estates. Because real estate rise in value overtime so this is a good investment options.
You can even rent it to others so to generate more income.Once you have several properties, it becomes easier to purchase and manage more properties. So for me, houses or real estate for long term investments.
Prince fluctuations you are referring to are very short-term phenomenon - look at price from the long-term perspective. Bitcoin is the ultimate GLOBAL store of value asset, you can see what it has done these last 8 years....how about think of where the price will be in the next 8 years?
Bitcoin can be transmitted/transferred via a simple communications channel without requiring an intermediary. You cannot do that with real estate.
