Assets and long term-investments mean nothing during a crisis, so short-term value stores becomes a much higher priority (currency).



Assets are rather useful though, depending on what they are.

If it's living space, that's rental value right there. If it's production hardware, depends on what you produce, from which sources and how easy it is to reconfigure. Farming assets can become extremely valuable. If the asset is a stockpile of a good, again, some goods can become very valuable.

Owned land, depends, unless it's somehow prepared it's likely not useful.

Assets such as office space, hardware and supplies, not so valuable.
