Our Mission

CNZ is a New Zealand grassroots Bitcoin & cryptocurrency community guild powering the physical and digital social infrastructure of NZ's decentralized digital asset revolution.

We're the guardians of Aotearoa's largest Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto Meetups, Facebook, Reddit, Discord groups – home to 72,000+ Kiwi crypto enthusiasts.

We run monthly DeFi Meetups across 14 of New Zealand's cities, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and beyond, proudly supported by New Zealand's crypto titans.

Here on the CNZ website, you'll find portals to the corners of our community – as well the backbone of the Cryptocurrency NZ project; our ultra simplified, no bullshit, step-by-step guide on how to get started with Bitcoin & crypto investing in New Zealand.
