You could slightly bet on value ($VTV) for having better current profits (P/E 20 means effectively 5% real interest w/o growth) and typically doing better in rising rate environments (many banks in the index which have better profits on larger interest rate spreads).
It's good to read about it a little bit or pay someone to tell you what to do (200$ for a session won't matter much in 10 years). Ie where I live, the longer you have stocks the lower taxes are (20% at 0 years, 0% years), so it makes sense to invest in the long here, and you want to get funds that reinvest the dividends (Accumulating funds) so you don't have to pay taxes on the dividends every tax period.

Investments by their nature are not 'stable'. Investments pay off because there is risk involved.
Asset-wise, the crypto analog are NFTs, yield tokens, or other inherently scarce or income generating entities.
But to each their own.
