When interest rates are high, some of the best assets to own include:

  • Short-term bonds: Short-term bonds have a lower duration, which means that they are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. This makes them a good option for investors who are concerned about rising interest rates.
  • Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS): TIPS are Treasury bonds that are indexed to inflation, meaning that the principal and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. This makes them a good option for investors who are concerned about inflation.
  • Real estate: Real estate can be a good hedge against inflation, as property values tend to rise with inflation. However, it is important to note that real estate is a illiquid asset, meaning that it can be difficult to sell quickly.
  • Commodities: Commodities, such as oil, gold, and silver, can be a good hedge against inflation as their prices often rise when inflation is high. However, commodities are also volatile assets, meaning that their prices can fluctuate wildly.
  • Dividend-paying stocks: Dividend-paying stocks can be a good option for investors who are looking for income in a high-interest rate environment. However, it is important to choose stocks that are well-managed and have a strong track record of paying dividends.

When interest rates are high, investors may turn to Bitcoin as a way to protect their purchasing power. Bitcoin is a scarce asset, with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. This means that its value is not affected by inflation in the same way that fiat currencies are.

However, Bitcoin is also a volatile asset. Its price can fluctuate wildly, and it has been known to crash by as much as 80% in a single year. This makes it a risky investment, and it is important to do your own research before investing in Bitcoin.

Here are some of the pros and cons of owning Bitcoin when interest rates are high:

Pros:

  • Bitcoin is a scarce asset that is not subject to government or central bank control.
  • Bitcoin can be a hedge against inflation and government overreach.
  • Bitcoin can be used to send and receive money internationally without the need for a bank or other third-party intermediary.

It is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best assets to own will vary depending on your individual investment goals and risk tolerance. It is always important to consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
