The Most Valuable Assets In Order of Value (My Subjective Opinion):
- Health
- Intellectual capital, talents, skills, and problem-solving ability (ability to create value)
- Relationships
- Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, and Unforgeable Art.
#1 and #2 can bring you #3 and #4
All are bearer assets with their own strengths and weaknesses:
- Privacy
- Scarcity/Rarity/Supply
- Demand (= Liquidity)
- Concentrated Value
- Divisibility
- Transportability
- Physicality or lack thereof
- Multiple uses/utility
- Defensibility
Some Examples:
Gold is an asset that you can wear or use in industry, and art is an asset that you can enjoy on your wall. Skills, talents, bitcoin, and some forms of art are assets that you can carry in your brain and transport with a click of a mouse.
Pick those that serve you best, and it might be useful to have more than one type. Personally, my art serves as my exclusive “bearer asset,” and my sole Store of Value. I only sell or trade what is needed each month to cover my living expenses which naturally limits the available supply. Check it out here.
