#2I'd like to know what to do with ~10 000 euros, right now. Where should I put it so it doesn't lose its value and keep a bit with inflation ?
edit for a bit of context: Western Europe, renting, unlikely to be able to buy/invest into a house/flat, looking at gold ingots, not the nerve for crypto.

Probably best to just hold on to it. Annual inflation of 10% sounds awful, but over short periods it's not that bad.

If you're not in the US (and Euros sounds European somehow) you don't have access to I bonds - which would be the safest bet. Perhaps there is something similar?

#5article starts off talking grants, but then is talking about options.
Pick one man, they're not the same.

This is not financial advice, but stocks are getting cheaper every day. Invest into profitable companies that can weather the storm.

Half year ago it would have been hard tocsay anything, but right now even the stock market has realistic price. (Btw I'm in BTC)

Buy something you want for 20000 and watch the debt inflate away?

Equities have been decimated. The housing market is starting to look like it's next. There is nowhere to hide right now.

I recommend reading 'The Intelligent Investor'. The book describes strategies that help you navigate all kinds of markets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligent_Investor.
As counterintuitive as it seems, the book actually recommends buying stocks in a bear market since they are priced reasonably. Warren Buffet's famous quote comes to mind: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” The book also talks about the importance of long-term investing and discipline.
