I am truly grateful for your exceptional guidance and knowledge throughout this course. Your commitment to teaching and your ability to simplify intricate concepts have made a significant impact on my learning journey. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your expertise.

Without being too long or too short, this course does an amazing job at communicating new information in an easy and entertaining way. As opposed to other reviews, I didn't have any difficulty trying to understand the instructor's accent but subtitles that aren't generated automatically would certainly be appreciated a lot. Just one suggestion though: the summaries after some lessons were useful but I wish they were more of them and if possible in a single PDF. The course was fantastic nonetheless, thank you.
By JoHn Cao on 4/29/2022
This is really an amazing course! The instructor is pretty funny but clear explained everything of blockchain, BTC, ETH, etc. including ETH mining 101, with the most understandable language! I've been learnt all of his blockchain courses with either my this account or corporate pass, finally I have to say this is the most suggested course suite for all blockchain new immigrations. Cheers!

There is just one problem with this course. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what the instructor is saying. Other than that I think there is a load of valuable information here.
By Isilda Rosa on 4/24/2021
This course is a hidden gem. Very complete. You can learn blockchain in detail with this course. It has also nice articles. Recommended.
By Mateusz Abramek on 4/22/2021
Lesson 100. and probably few other should be reuploaded without head covering commands. Course was very good starting from basics. I hoped for more practical coding tasks but that's also ok.
By B L on 4/17/2021
The course is really well structured and detailed, it taught me a lot about blockchain! I also like the tutor's energy and all the comprehensive graphics and articles in the course materials. This course was very much enjoyed, thanks!
