1/ The big story for #FinTech in 2021?
⏩ Alt Goes Mainstream ⏪
How did we get here? Who are the players? Where do we go next?
Thread 🧵below 👇
And check out Substack for how the confluence of a number of trends will change investing as we know
2/ FinTech has ushered in new waves of access to different types of alternative investments.
Over the past decade, we witnessed a groundbreaking era of democratized access to alternative investments.
Not long ago, it seemed unthinkable that individual investors could ...
3/ 💳 invest in fractions of a loan. @LendingClub
made that possible.
💸 invest $20 alongside Sand Hill Rd VCs into a fast-growing startup. @joinrepublic made that possible.
🏦 invest alongside endowments into a top private equity fund. @icapitalnetwork made that possible.
4/ We have now hit the era of alt alt assets.
People can now invest in everything from classic 🚗 to 🎨 to 🏀 & 🏈 cards thanks to democratized access to investing in real things.
5/ The hype is real.
If there's any cohort of people who view culture as a financial asset, it's Millennials and Gen

Never invested in illiquid assets before. So I put a small amount of money in @OnRallyRd.

Pretty cool to open up the app and see one of the investments exited and I made a profit.
Alternative asset asset investing is cool.
I recently bought one of these air quality monitors and got to take it out for some measurements!
I'll share some findings in this thread.
CCing @CO2Guerrillas here, in case they would like to share.
A very quick intro:
This device measures:
-CO2 concentration
-relative humidity
-atmospheric pressure
-temperature
I spent ~$200 on Amazon. It pairs with your phone and you can watch data come in every minute or so.

A lot of covid transmission is airborne. So, having clean air is a must for reducing transmission.
A great way to see how much clean air you are getting is to measure CO2 concentration.
Too high -> you could use more ventilation -> open some windows!
So, I walked around town and took some measurements.
Outdoor CO2 concentration should be about 400 ppm. I haven't calibrated my device yet, so I measured ~470. Close enough.
<800 is good for indoors. Something like 2000 is very bad.

For a reference: inside my apartment I quickly get ~1000 ppm if I don't have windows open. Maybe ~1500 if things get bad.
If I crack some windows, even just barely, it gets down to ~600 ppm very quickly, and my heater can keep the apartment ~70 F no problem.
