"put it in a CD in a Bank at 16.5% LOL" That's about as high as CDs got.

I weathered the 1970s fairly well with a combination of real estate, short term muni bonds and especially money market funds which were largely unknown by the general population back then.

The market is largely ignoring the rising rates among the blizzard of other financial news (bitcoins, for example).

Be aware that interest rates can rise incredibly fast.

Also research how mREITs and similar investments did in the 1970: TERRIBLY! Many went out of business.
