This course is for students who wish to confidently navigate the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, and it’s taught by developers who love technology, rather than investors looking to pitch you.  Many courses focus on teaching you how to purchase Bitcoin, but very few explain how it works or why it has become so popular.

The course begins with a basic overview of the history, concepts and vocabulary of cryptocurrency: What it is, how to acquire it, how to send and receive it, how it differs from differs from stocks and bonds, and what the heck a miner is. With that foundation, you will be ready to take on cryptocurrency’s more advanced concepts: mining, forks, digital signatures, hashing functions, smart contracts, tokens, and distributed applications (DApps).

This structure makes our course suitable for students of all levels.  No math or coding experience is necessary.

By the end of this course, you’ll have no trouble answering the following questions:

• What is a Bitcoin?  Can I touch it?  Where do I get some?
• What is Ethereum? (and, yes, how to buy it)

• What exactly happens behind the scenes in a Bitcoin transaction?

This is not a course designed to pitch Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a token!  This is a course taught by developers who love technology, rather than investors looking to pitch you.
