Ideally, you could invest in both, but if you had to choose one I would say real estate for the sake of diversity, if that's your goal. They're both good options, and I'd say we're in similar positions. I totally agree with everything you say about being indicisive about how to invest your money. I'd say you have to really look at what your long term goals are. Personally, if I were in your position, living in the U.K. where the real estate market is good, I would diversify into rental property. It won't give you the same gains as crypto for sure over the long term but that's not why you choose real estate. It's more to have something palpable that will accrue value over time, and allow for another income stream.
