One thing I took away from NZ CryptoCon: scammers don’t necessarily need to trick you with something obvious.
If a fake setup looks convincing and the potential payoff is big enough, they can afford to play the long game. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
Crypto security isn’t just about strong passwords and wallets.
The more you understand blockchains, exchanges, wallets, transactions and scams, the harder it becomes for someone to fool you.
Learning is part of security. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
I completed a few crypto education modules after CryptoCon. The small rewards were nice, but they weren’t really the point.
The useful part was becoming a little more familiar with how the ecosystem works. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…

Platforms have their own reasons for wanting customers to transact, but they also have an incentive to stop customers losing money.
At CryptoCon, I heard how suspicious transactions can trigger extra checks. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
One useful reminder from CryptoCon: security doesn’t have to mean becoming a technical expert.
Start by understanding the basics: how transactions work, where your crypto is held, what can go wrong and how scams operate. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
Crypto investing isn’t really set and forget.
The technology changes. Platforms change. Scams change. And now AI is adding another layer to the problem.
Learning about crypto needs to be ongoing, not a one-time exercise. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
We often think of security as something technology provides for us.
But with crypto, the person using the technology is part of the security chain too.
That makes education more important than it might first appear. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
I went to CryptoCon expecting plenty of talk about crypto and blockchain.
There was. But the topic that kept coming back was security.
That was probably the most useful reminder of the whole event. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…

Little known fact:
BTC has NEVER been beaten by stocks over a 4 year investment duration. Even if you bought the top.
In fact, at 42% CAGR, BTC beats the undisputed champion of hedge funds, Renaissance Technologies, who delivered 39% to their investors.
AI is making scams harder to spot.
Fake websites, deepfakes, fake support staff and even fake online communities can be built into a convincing ecosystem.
In crypto, “it looks legit” isn’t enough. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…

At NZ CryptoCon, one theme kept coming up: security.
It made me think differently about crypto. The first investment probably shouldn’t be another coin. It should be time spent understanding what you’re actually doing. ninetynineways.net/crypto-se…
Spent a few days in Christchurch and saved a heck of a lot on transport.
I usually just Uber, but this time I tried Didi.
If you're heading to Christchurch in the next few days, it's worth comparing.

I compared transferring $47,500 NZD to Australia:
Bank: AUD $42,811
Wise: AUD $43,444
$632 difference.
Same money. Same day.
The real cost isn’t the fee, it’s the exchange rate.
