I am new to this type of investing and would like to team up with someone who is also interested in this type of investing and learning together. Two great minds is much better than one.
We could explore and exchange ideas, determine what coins to trade and when. The market is extremely hot right now and there is lots of upside in this type of investing.
If you already have lots of experience and knowledge in this area, you are also interested joining forces and you would benefit in having a partner, I would definitely like to see if we could work together on this, make our investments significantly grow and who knows about the future.
We could even possibly build this into a full time thing, or maybe even a business. I have heard many interesting success stories on this and it is definitely working for some people. Eg, earning 2.5 months salary in just one week.
I am looking for someone who is serious, professional who also would like to invest in cryptocurrencies with me and has enough time now during the week days (a few hours per day or longer) to work together on this exciting project. To be very clear, I am not looking for any of your money or anyone else’s money. I only want to find someone who has a similar interest in this and wanting to learn and support each other.
If you are interested in my Crypto idea above and you would like to meet up for a coffee and discuss this further, please contact me now by first telling me a bit about yourself, your experience with Crypto and interest.

You are probably all noticing the housing intensification that is beginning to take place, with houses being torn down and multi story buildings taking their place – sometimes changing the entire character of long standing residential neighbourhoods. No one can deny that Auckland needs more housing, but a more thoughtful approach to development could improve HOW housing intensification takes place by focusing on development of scale on the main arterial routes for transportation, business, infrastructure AND affordable multi story housing before randomly beginning to dismantle quiet residential neighbourhoods.
It is a fact that in 2016 the Auckland Unitary Plan established building zones throughout Auckland for the regulation of urban development. For example, in my street most of Huntingtree Ave and Vancouver St are zoned as “Mixed Housing Urban”. This allows 3 story townhouses and low rise apartments to be built – with no consent from neighbours - on subdivisions of 300 square meters. Interestingly, many of the major 4 lane arterial routes are not zoned for any greater housing intensification than are nearby quiet residential areas.
You can find the map showing what your zones are at unitaryplanmaps.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Click the + sigh to enlarge the map and scroll for the area you want to explore. (The more you zoom in, the more street names you can see)
On the left click on legend and click the little cone symbol across form unitary plan zones to see what each colour represents
To see what you can do in each zone, go to
www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz... consents/Pages/what-can-do-zone.aspx
In August of 2020, the government issued a new National Policy Statement on Urban Development (www.mfe.govt.nz...) that reasserted the need for greater intensification in urban areas, especially on major arterial routes where infrastructure is best located. I believe that a National Policy directive trumps (excuse the pun) local council. With a push for greater focus on housing intensification and associated infrastructure on main arterial routes, this might be an opportunity to collectively urge Council to reassess current zoning regulations that allow for three story, two story and even single story housing zones along some of our main arterial routes while three story buildings, that tower over existing single story homes, are starting to pop up randomly in quiet residential streets.
With the number of commuters who park in residential streets close to main transportation routes, many of those streets are already reduced to a single lane for cars to pass through, and parking for locals is restricted. Housing intensification in those streets would only increase that problem. (Note: Residential parking permits are generally something that local residents have to pay for)
From : Recommendations and decisions report on the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Statement on Urban Development:
An NPS has two main effects:
• local authorities must amend their regional policy statements (RPSs), and regional and district plans, to give effect to the NPS
•decision-makers on plans, policy statements, resource consents and other matters must consider the NPS as part of their process.
“The aim is to encourage more effective growth, particularly close to frequent public transport, and walking and cycling facilities. It is also intended to help local authorities make decisions that work for all communities, offering choices for diverse groups and listening to a wider range of voices in the urban planning system”.
I am reaching out for your ideas about what we can do collectively to improve the way intensification is taking place on our streets, in our community, and in other Auckland communities. And I am reaching out for your support in seeking a solution from Council. What other streets might be facing the same problem? Do you know anyone who could be helpful in seeking a solution from Council?
Would you be willing to sign a petition asking Council to amend the Unitary Plan to accommodate a sequence of development that focuses on increasing housing intensification on main arterial routes before encroaching on residential streets?
Let’s get a discussion going!
