I think property is still a good bet, either the expansion of personal living quarters or a buy to let. Again as others have said, if you have money looking for a home there are not many interesting returns to be had on the high street, banks, financial services etc and so it becomes tempting to consider something unusual. For myself, in retirement, I will sit with a flat, a small piece of land, low yield safe havens and leave the Wild West to others.
I parked some money (geddit) in a Morgan a couple of years ago, that seems to be holding up.
I think of Bitcoin as an oasis in the desert, it may or may not be there when you arrive.
Certainly over here land and property are sound investments. With interest rates so low (1.9%) using your money in investments accounts by taking out a fixed rate liquidity loan against your own money for say 7 years (even if the markets crash to 3.5% return) to buy land at a growth of 4% (LY growth at 10%) is something to seriously consider. As they say money makes money and it has worked for me, but it is not a game to dabble with.
