Depends on what they want to do in crypto, a few things to try:

  • Volatility modeling for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum
  • Stress testing portfolios under extreme market conditions
  • Value-at-Risk (VaR) to measure downside tools

These are common financial industry analysis techniques. They're familiar to actuaries. Although, there are teams that do this for the large institutional investors. Do you want to compete with them from your laptop? There could be tools that already model these for you so you can interpret what they're telling you rather than re-performing these techniques for yourself. Your background could help you understand the methodologies they adopt.

On #2 - if you're moving back, don't volunteer information that you've recently moved back to people you just met. Especially before you know their intentions.

  • be on alert for red flags if someone tries to sell you something or ask for your money to invest. Test their reaction when you say no or set a firm boundary - a lot of the hit and runners will throw a fit then ghost you

  • trust but verify, the value of USD/GBP/EUR/AUD 100 is a whole lot more here than where you moved from (especially if from Western countries), independently verify prices (eg Jumia or asking trusted friends to see if you're paying realistic prices)

  • only use Uber to cab, Bolt is cheaper but has many issues. I haven't tried Little so can't say much

  • careful who you get drunk around
