Inflation is not a valid argument to support taking a high risk on a speculative asset. There are plenty of other assets to invest in to beat inflation such as real estate, inflation bonds, and stocks.
That's a nice list of risk free non speculative assets you got there.
Real estate is heavily taxed and risky since you often end up buying @ 10-20% more of the market price, it's illiquid and very costly to maintain
Inflation bonds don't protect against real inflation because they follow government numbers
Stocks can deliver well
The only true defense against inflation is gold/silver. And bitcoin if it goes mainstream one day.
All other assets are investment and currently in a bubble. I would not buy them now.
