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 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 reviews, too.
So far, I've written ridiculously in-depth deep dives for many of today's top cryptos, including Solana, Polkadot, Algorand, Radix, Fantom and IOTA.

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.
