I'm talking about things like newspapers, magazines, bottles of drinks, cans... anything.

Of course no one can tell for sure, but what does history teach us?

History tells you to wait until people are trying to sell you things they used to say are worth a lot of money so they can eat

Good question… anything that will have a long term need or collectibles… I think 🤔

If we knew this, we would all be rich horders. You can't guess the future.

Letters or art from people who will ultimately become extraordinarily successful and important.

Now you just need to figure out the people and you’re set.

Wouldn't that be literally anything that doesn't go obsolete? Inflation.

No idea but I did buy 1 BTC at $200 and sold at $22,000 but that was just luck I think 😂

Dimes into dollars 30 years from now? I can't even think of stuff from 1993 that was that way now. Maybe a nice high quality cast iron pan you can find at a yard sale or something.

I love this question. Wish that I had a better answer for you.

I can perhaps help you to learn what not to collect. A buddy of mine has a theory that things that too many people are collecting will not go up in value much. For example, according to him the value baseball cards to have are the ones that were printed before people started to collect them.

Good luck!

Might be worth just throwing $100 into a bunch of alt crypto coins and hodl, throw them in a cold wallet and just wait. I would also say targeting toys in the 7-14 age range, those are the part of things people collect when they are older, need to keep them in mint condition unopened as the packaging gives it the most value. Otherwise real estate

Nothing for dimes. Although first edition versions of items that crime popular usually do very well. The first iPhone wrapped sold for $500 now goes for $60K. You might consider the Apple VR headset although it’s def not dimes and you’re prob better off putting $3500 in a good stock.

Butterflies quite a few of their species are being forced to extinction and also Bananas they are becoming harder to grow for some countries and are all clones one bad virus/fungus and that's it.

It’s getting harder and harder to find nice records, I’m not sure you can find any for dimes but you can definitely find them cheap at yard sales and estate sales and I’d bet some will be worth a lot more in thirty years. It won’t just be old technology it’ll be a relic from another era

[–] CollapseConoisseur@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Vegetables, Grain, Fruit etc

[–] Dijiwolf1975@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Buy rolls of dimes after the initial release of a new batch. Go through them and look for deformities/misstrikes in the coins. Reroll the dimes that you don't keep and get more dimes.

edit: a 1983 (40 years old) 10C No S, PR dime is going for about $600-$700 now.

People like to reminisce about their childhood games, so I think games or copies of games, stuff like that may go up in the future.

You're right bottles and cans. Basically, what we've learned from old stuff that's been dug up is that glass and some metals can stick around for a really long time, much longer than things like newspapers and magazines. Paper usually falls apart pretty fast, but glass and metal can hang around for hundreds of years. This just shows how important it is to recycle and take care of our trash properly, so we don't end up with a bunch of it lasting forever in the environment. I found a cool article about the fastest growing industries here https://www.cuppa.so/post/the-top-10-fastest-growing-industries-of-2030

[–] teknosophy_com@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I've got a box of old newspapers if you want!

Any old tech, really. Gaming PCs from the late 90s are taking off right now. I've got a bag of flip phones and a constant flow of old tech that's not yet worth a lot. Let me know if you want some of it.
