Hello and welcome to coin confidential
The greatest crypto website on the internet… and a place completely free of hyperbole.
My name is Harry Hamburg and I created coin confidential when I left Southbank Investment Research back in 2019.
At Southbank, I was Editor of two newsletters, with more than 85,000 subscribers:
Exponential Investor – which focused on tech. And Crypto Wire – which focused on, yes, you guessed it… crypto.
So if you found me through any of that, it’s great to have you back.
In coin confidential I try to balance the tech, finance and philosophy of crypto, without taking any of it too seriously. And yes, I write crypto deep dives, too.
So far, I've written ridiculously in-depth deep dives for many of today's top cryptos, including Solana, Polkadot, Algorand, Radix, Fantom, IOTA, Cosmos, Avalanche, Aleph Zero and Aptos. You can see my full list of deep dives here.

But please note. Nothing I write should be taken as financial advice. I'm a journalist, not an investment adviser. See the disclaimer for more.
