Coins and Currency

Collecting coins has long been a popular hobby, but it hasn’t held up well with younger generations, leaving passionate collectors wondering if it’s a dying hobby.

The recent uplift in coin collectors is something of a surprise. Cashless payments have been making notes & coins increasingly obsolete since long before the pandemic. And younger generations would rather trade bitcoin & crypto than coins & notes.

If you want to invest in coins, stick with the ultra high-end if you can. Most of the commemorative stuff minted after the 1960s is kitsch and easy to find.

Thanks again for your ​feature on DXYZ​! I invested and paid for my entire Spain vacation, as it cruised to the mid $90s from going public around $8-10/share. That's the kind of tax problem I like to have."

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

Alts brings me unique investment opportunities and insights that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. For me, it’s a simple and enjoyable way to stay informed on financial topics that are way outside of the mainstream news sources.

Alts is the only email newsletter I've read from start to finish from day one. The effort that Stefan & Wyatt provide is the next-level analysis you've been waiting for. They break down each asset in detail, metric by metric, and serve it up in a brief email with graphics and links.

Absolute must-read every time it hits my inbox. Stefan and Wyatt are web wizards, appraising assets using a mixture of arcane product knowledge, SEO sorcery and metrics magic. They lift a veil shrouding the Internet to show its secret world of investment opportunities.

Brilliant writing. I'm not usually a long form reader, but I read your articles almost all the time in one go. Thanks for such interesting writing.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
