Bitcoins value proposition is way different from those of the "traditional" investments. With stocks/index funds you have the expected revenue of the underlying companies. With real estate you have rental income. With bonds you also have an underlying company or government that will pay you a fixed interest rate.
The only thing that gives Bitcoin value is how much other people are willing to pay for it. From a traditional perspective that sonds terrible. But if you look at why people might want to hold Bitcoin it becomes interesting.
A permissionless, uncensorable monetary network can be very usefull to a lot of people. Especially with rising geopolitical tensions and a tendency towards more extremist governments. There are a lot of horror stories of people from thirld world (and even some first world) countries loosing acess to their capital.
So I think it's worth spending some time to research the subject and then allocate in relation to your confidence and understanding.
