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 created coin confidential when I left Southbank Investment Research 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.
I’ve written in-depth reports on many of today’s top cryptos, including Ethereum, IOTA, VeChain, Chainlink and Neo.
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 reviews, too.
