Investing
In times of inflation, holding cash is a losing proposition. Other losing strategies are money markets, many bonds, CDs, many annuities, etc. with low interest rates. IMO
So therefore, many investors will put money into a scarce asset, such as collectibles or real estate. These are more likely to increase in value with inflation, IMO. For example, the last big era of inflation (late 70's to early 80's) was a huge time for baseball cards.
