When you hold a ticket to Hamburg, you think of one thing: this is a city of ports, ships, and containers. But for me, it became the first stop on a journey through the ecosystem of f1rst.auction — a company that has managed to unite four completely different directions: cars, containers, minerals, and luxury goods. I decided to see how this platform works “live.”
Hamburg: Containers as Investments
The Port of Hamburg buzzes even on a gray weekday. I climb onto a terminal platform where dozens of containers stand, bearing the logos of global carriers. Here I meet a local f1rst.auction partner.
“Containers are like real estate, only mobile,” he explains. “Our investors buy them and lease them to transport companies. Income comes monthly: between 15 and 35%.”
I notice fresh markings on one of the containers. This asset was purchased by an investor from the UAE, the representative tells me. Now it runs the Europe–Asia route, generating profits the owner withdraws monthly to a bank account.
At that moment, it became clear to me: here, a container isn’t just a metal box — it’s a financial instrument.
Czech Republic: Lithium and the Future of Technology
The next stop on my journey is a mine in Central Europe. Here, f1rst.auction offers clients participation in lithium extraction.
Wearing a miner’s helmet, I descend several levels underground, where dozens of workers drill amid the roar of heavy equipment. Speaking with the project manager, I hear:
“Demand for lithium is enormous. Without it, there are no batteries for electric cars, smartphones, or energy systems. Over the next five years, demand is expected to multiply.”
Investors in f1rst.auction receive shares in such projects. The minimum entry is €750,000, with returns of about 41% per month when paid in cryptocurrency.
I recall the words of a London investor I had spoken with the day before:
“For me, lithium is the oil of the 21st century. Through f1rst.auction I got the chance to join a real project. I see reports, construction photos, and I understand: this isn’t abstract numbers, it’s a tangible resource.”
Switzerland: Gold and Palladium
In Zurich, I meet a commodities analyst who shows me charts of gold, platinum, and palladium prices.
“The yields promised by f1rst.auction seem incredible — until you see real demand,” he says. “Gold rises as currencies weaken. Palladium and platinum are indispensable in medicine and automotive. Supply is limited, so margins are higher than usual.”
Here I also meet an investor from Saudi Arabia, who put money into palladium:
“I get around 40% per month. For me this is not just an investment — it’s a strategic asset. I use USDT for payments because it’s faster and more convenient.”
Milan: The Luxury Auction Hall
My next stop is Milan, where a luxury auction is underway. The atmosphere is unique: tailored suits, hushed voices, tense pauses before each bid.
Through f1rst.auction, clients gain online access to such auctions. Today’s list includes rare Rolex watches, a Louis Vuitton collection, and unique jewelry.
“Many of our clients treat luxury items as investments,” explains a company representative. “It’s not only about prestige, but also about capital preservation. Unlike currencies, the value of rare items keeps growing.”
One client from Geneva admits:
“I bought a watch through f1rst.auction. For me, it’s not just an accessory — it’s an asset that will be worth more years from now.”
Germany: Premium Cars
The final stop is a car site near Frankfurt, where auctions for vehicles are held before they are shipped worldwide.
I see rows of gleaming Range Rovers and Mercedes-Benz SUVs. An f1rst.auction representative shows me documents for one car purchased by a client from Dubai. It will be delivered within 37 days.
“We’ve made the process as simple as possible: contract online, 10% down payment, the rest after shipment confirmation. This is convenient for clients who cannot be physically present at the auction,” he says.
Conclusion
My journey through the segments of f1rst.auction highlighted one key fact: the company deals not with abstractions but with real assets. Containers in ports, lithium in mines, gold and palladium on world markets, watches in auction halls, and cars on European lots — all these exist physically and generate income.
That is why the company’s model feels convincing. Its universality provides flexibility: containers bring stability, cars bring quick results, luxury ensures prestige and long-term value. But the main driver is minerals and precious metals, on which the future of the global economy is being built.
f1rst.auction has become the bridge between digital contracts and real assets. And it seems this is exactly the model the 21st-century market has been waiting for.
