There s no single best investment. The key is to differentiate.
30% savings, 30% real estate, 30% low risk securities and 10% BTC.

bitcoin right now, this child is still very far away from its potentially not even funny, everyone in the futrue will regret to not have invested in bitcoin right now

I couldn’t agree more, compared to more conventional investments such as stocks or bonds, the market for bitcoins is still in its infancy.
The best investment is best company shares, such as Google and Apple in the early days. But it is difficult to pinpoint the best companies.
How about bitcoin ? It is in it's early days, and the extent of success are limitless. imho every investor should hold atleast part of his/hers funds in it.
It's not that hard to see that with years bitcoin is only going to rise in both power and price.

Stocks? Bonds? Bitcoins?? Real Estate?
The best investment is the one that offers the greatest return for the least amount of risk.
Since none of us can predict which investment will give us the greatest return in the future (for the least amount of risk) it's wise to spread our investments around to multiple asset classes.
I'd recommend investing a bit in stocks, bitcoin, and real estate (in the form of real estate investment trusts if you can't buy property). Bonds are trickier. We're at a unique time where interest rates are at their lowest point. This means if you buy a bond today, it will not be worth as much as other bonds will at some point in the future when rates rise a bit. I'd stay away from bonds all together right now UNLESS you're buying the bond and holding it until maturity (definitely don't touch bond mutual funds!)
If you are good at them, stocks and shares can earn you a lot of money. If you are not too good with using shares and stocks, just use Bitcoin. Buy bitcoin at low prices and sell it at high prices. You will make a decent profit.

i think,t depend to who you are,and how much you will invest. lets see about bitcoin,you had to looking for many predictions source,atleast it will make you know that you have to invest on fluctuative thing. and about real estate,its a big investement,you must have a big money,when you lose it,you have lost big amount of money. but if you patience for a long term investement,not hard to be rich man!
Land. Why? God created land once. He's not creating them again.
dont risk land..
bare land is bare for a reason.
contamination, dedicated greenspot (no development allowed)
it takes alot of research and council meetings to change the purpose of the land.. however buying a property(building/apartment), your already 98% there. u just gotta buy cheap and sell higher.
most people can have very quick success.. if at auction, you see a handful of bidders competing against you, simply get your competitors contact details. and give them a call a couple days after u win the auction.. add a couple £k to your win value and then offer it to your competition for that new higher price.
usually all bidders give up £10k-£20k below their total budget if they think the competition (you) has it in the bag. so if u won by being just £5k higher. you have £5k-£15k of wiggle room in their budget for you to use to your advantage.
quick flip with no work done, easy money in the right auction house (enough competitors names&phone numbers)
if not, then just do what other suggest and tart it up a little, and resale to someone else.
Property is good if you are smart but it is also a ton of work and is not a passive investment.
Best strat imo is to invest in good real estate markets and then keep leftovers in metals/cash/btc, no reason to fuck around with stocks or gubmint bonds.

I would say real estate is mostly always a good investment, (especially near tube stations or Universities) but then again im not a homeowner myself yet, Bitcoins, imo i would say yeah invest in Bitcoin too because if it takes off, its going to reaaaally take off, if it doesn't it doesn't but you dont need to invest very large amounts unless your pockets allow for this (never invest more than you can afford to loose as they say)
As for the UK, property could give you decent return in relatively short time. Aim for cheaper houses (< GBP 100k, affordable for first time buyers), preferably repossessed by bank, located within less than 1 hour drive from the town centre of any major city. Don't do any major work on it, just refresh the look, give it a proper cleaning and re-paint.
If you're lucky, you can pocket out 30-50% profit in few months. If you struggle to sell, you can always try to rent it out.
As for Bitcoin. Definitely too risky to invest large % of your wealth in it. But as someone said on this forum: you have to be clinically retarded not to own some, just in case.
When you say less than 100k i dont suppose you mean anywhere in or around London? if you do, if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction =) would be appreciated lol
also, how would one go about buying repo'd properties? auctions?

for long term i would like to answer Real Estate because in my country it could be a good investment for the future and the price always be continues to rise each year and for short term i think USD or bitcoin could be good investment

Bitcoin or real estate in university oriented cities 
How so? More people = higher liquidity? What are your investment aims?
Property can be horrifically illiquid.
I'm looking for both short-term and long-term. I'd like to start out with the shorter term until I'm comfortable enough to move onto longer/larger investments. Not focusing much on risky ones with higher yields, just something that can give me a stable source of side income however small it may be. Property can be horrifically illiquid.

Honest answer? Tiny apartments near massive, stable job creation locations bought during a recession. At larger scales, industrial real estate. And in my personal opinion, Bitcoin (very long-term). The rest is tricky and I personally try to stay away from other investments.
If you have money on the side that you can without then invest some amount and forget about it. Like deliciousowl has said, this is a very long-term investment that's about 50%-50% at the moment but with a huge potential well worth a risk in my opinion.
This doesn't have to be a big amount, but get some.

I think that real estate in strategic locations can be very profitable. You really have to do your homework on that one.
Bitcoin is in theory a good investment but I suppose we do not know what will happen.
All are really good tips. Which one would you say is relatively the shorter investment? Bitcoin is in theory a good investment but I suppose we do not know what will happen.
The market is becoming tighter nowadays so it is hard to say what is the best. Bitcoins or altcoins can have huge potential gains within the next few years.

Fair point. I guess the main idea would be collecting rent on many small units. But it's important to keep in mind that all investments are risky.
