Trying to avoid inflation or preserve value is something you choose carefully. You can chose government bond and then war happens, you will get delay in payment but there is assurance especially if it's coming from the government but what happen when inflation has exceed the interest rate you are getting in return. If you consider Bitcoin too for example, you can invest this year and bear market will make you lose value of your money, you have to wait for another bull run which can take another 2-3 years before your value will appreciate and if you bought at the top, you are soup because you will probably make nothing much to beat inflation.

Under favorable condition, I will choose atleast two from crypto and then chose from non crypto and then divide my investment into them just to be safer and if should incase one is not ready to be spend for that moment or incase of emergency situations where money will be needed as quick as possible, nobody knows tomorrow no matter how careful you are with your investment.
there are always disadvantage you know even gold current valuation which deemed as something that could combat inflation depends entirely on beliefs that gold could beat inflation while intrinsic value and use case of gold isn't so much, the price derived entirely from speculation without people knowing because its tradition to consider gold as a treasure if things gets worse like war occur its not only bond that gonna be affected pretty much everything in that country gonna be affected and its gonna be tough economy all around, at that point the best investment to make is investment to food and basic needs. maybe if you think the situation could get that worse maybe arable land investment is a good option.

frankly speaking bitcoin is great for investment but only if you are investing from when the price were still low and heavily discounted meaning you invest in bearish cash out at bullish rinse and repeat.
therefore you need the flexibility and lesiure of spending as much time as you can to wait for the right timing.

if I were to fight the inflation though I could just easily invest money to be a landlord so far its the most lucrative way of beating the inflation since the house pricing keep rising but that without taking into account housing bubble which i don't know if it gonna happens anyway.
