 Buying and selling is very easy, you just need to figure out what works best for you. Other then finding someone in person who wants to buy or sell with you, your options are to use a brokerage, an exchange or person to person trading. A Brokerage is exactly what it sounds like, a broker will buy and sell your cryptos on your behalf, for a fee (of course), but you don't have to figure out how an exchange works, or figure out how trading works, you simply pay your $$ and you get cryptos in exchange. However, the type of coin you can purchase is often restricted by what the broker is prepared to purchase on your behalf. An Exchange is the next level. You become the buyer, and must navigate the trading platform and the lingo for yourself. Its a bit tricker and there is a steep learning curve, but the fees are lower and you are in total control of what you want to purchase. The number of different coins you could potentially purchase is only restricted by the preference of the exchange you are using. Person-to-Person trading, similar to TradeMe, are sites that you can connect with sellers and buyers of cryptos. Here is a (not exhaustive) list of brokers and exchanges that allow New Zealanders to purchase cryptos with NZD. Most are located in New Zealand, but some are located overseas. At various times an exchange may restrict new registrations, or restrict bank deposits. Because these change regularly, the current status of each exchange is not recorded here. As more exchanges become available they will be added to this list. Exchanges
