Alternatives to the stock market? (lemmy.ca)

I'm probably preaching against the choir here, but I've become quite disillusioned with the stock market. It seems to no longer have any correlation to reality (assuming it ever did). Other than real estate, what are other good avenues to explore?

Once crypto catches on as a mainstream payment method

'Once' implies a degree of certainty that isn't warranted. 'In the unlikely event that' is a more realistic replacement

I would tend to agree, but I spent most of an entire comment shitting on crypto, and I was trying to throw the crypto bros a bone.

Besides, whether crypto will catch on eventually is immaterial to the fact that buying and holding coins is an atrocious facsimile of an investment strategy.
