yes, totally agree that your house (that you live in yourself) is not an asset, unless you own it outright and have no mortgage.
Cryptos, while they have the potential to be very complicated, can be dead simple at the most basic / beginner level, honestly buying 1 or 2 bitcoin and holding for 1 year or more is pretty solid IMHO.
Agreed "the stock and bond market will crash and burn and die." - I just wrote my boss an email earlier today in fact, asking him to give us a money market option within our 401K because I'm concerned with having the entire thing in the market... keeping my fingers crossed on that!
