The ultimate finite asset is land. Notice how many billionaires have been buying land - for instance, Bill Gates is now one of the largest farmland owners in the world. He's not the only "digital" guy gone physical. It will continue to happen.

Land is definitely on the rise, too. My wife and I (not that we have a hope of affording it at the moment) keep looking at prices of lots in remote areas of BC. They are about twice what they were a year ago.
You can get 40 aces of forest on beautiful Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia for $9,000 Cdn. Or one 1990 Hockey card.
I'd take the forest! I don't know much about clearing land, but I'd be willing to learn. I just need enough room for a few big gardens, orchard, and modest cabin. I'll just print out a near-perfect version of the hockey card once I'm set up :P
