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?

    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

    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
