Скачать или смотреть Why We Buy the Shiny Things: The Psychology of Alternative Investing

Alternative investments aren’t only about returns; they’re also about identity, story, and emotion. This episode digs into the psychology that drives people toward collectibles, private deals, altcoins, and other non-traditional assets. We explore why scarcity and exclusivity trigger powerful buying impulses, how generational tastes influence what gets bought, and why emotional attachment can both create opportunities and derail otherwise smart decisions.

Whether you’re an investor curious about alternatives, a wealth advisor guiding client behavior, a founder or sponsor raising capital, or simply someone who wants to better understand the human motives behind investment flows, this episode has lots of insights.
