Current issues with the market - Any ideas on avoiding the end?

I'm an index-cel myself frankly a Boglehead if anything.

Ideally I'd just save up for the purchase and ween back on my taxable accounts, but the problem is finding an investment vehicle that will, at a bare minimum, keep up with inflation and won't pose much risk.

The way things are right now certai KY don't help either. We are pretty bullish so best bet would probably be to continue with the account, but if there's a correction soon (and there will be), I'm fuqed.

TIPS bonds and I Bonds are the safest inflation risk, but that's all they really do. The stock market generally does a pretty good job, too.

I do agree that we are way overdue for a correction though

Goddamnit I can't believe I'm siding with @Hollywood Hulk Hogan , but...

Bitcoin has so far been a speculative & volatile asset that has yet to decouple from the stockmarket and greater world economy. Unless that decoupling happens when the shit hits the fan bitcoin will also crash. Likely from people selling it to cover other losses.

I'm hoping it finally decouples and I think that's a small but real possibility, but for fucks sake can we stop screaming at each other over hypotheticals. Nobody knows what is going to happen, we are all stabbing in the dark on how to prepare. Don't *only* own crypto as a hedge...

I feel dirty. HHH, hold me!

I know Hogan has a reputation for being a faggy sperg but he's got solid investing advice more or less. You just don't want to get him started on politics. Overall, long term investing in primarily index funds (a strong proponent ive seen him encourage) is the safest and most fruitful means of moving money.

Additionally, we're all faggy spergs here so I guess I'm speaking in circles.

"Crypto is volatile" is a generalization made by those who don't understand crypto. Try zooming out from your daily charts and you'll see that some crypto is less volatile than, for example, copper and lumber. Obviously if you invest in MoonElonShitCatCoin, it will be very volatile and you'll get rugged within days. Compare that to something like BTC, ETH, or Link that provided steady gains over the last few years.

No but that doesn't invalidate my point.

You're factually incorrect though. A week ago BTC was around 50k. Now it's dangling around 39-40k thanks to a perfect storm of Chinese fud, Dogeshit coins running amok in the market, and Elon doing his best to play interference for the Fed. Even with all these factors BTC still could not fall below 30k. In another week this whole thing will just be a wick on a daily chart and will be forgotten, outside of some unfortunate Redditor suicides.

Lol a currency falling by 50% in a week for any reason is not stable

Crypto has to offer something that will make people want to use it over regular currency. It doesn't have that

If you're that risk-averse, may I suggest a portfolio consisting entirely of hundred dollar bills hidden underneath a mattress?

Crypto has enough to offer to those who seek a high-risk, high-reward investment opportunity. If you're not in the position to put money into it and you're just waiting to Bobo-post whenever a dip occurs, your opinion does not matter.
