you kept using "Debit Card" but while speaking, treated it as a credit card. To me, there is a huge distinction, so I don't know if I can use a credit card instead of a debit card. I will figure it out with trial and error, but I don't know from your course. Also, I still don't know anything about actually purchasing anything, or making a charitable donation using a cryptocurrency.

Good intro overall, and the security measures discussed are certainly important, though personally I was already familiar with the measures discussed. As another reviewer mentioned, there was really no discussion of what cryptocurrency is and why to bother investing in it. It might be a good idea to include this at the beginner level, where people aren't necessarily already "sold," so to speak. Inspire new learners to get involved and learn more.

I am a total novice in crypto but an expert in internet security. So by my evaluation so far, his explanations about how to set up the accounts safely are awesome! Anybody would understand that.

1. Topic content - simple concise, direct. 2. Basic knowledge for beginners 3. Pacing - topics, voice tone, delivery of content, right choice of word, no run around, sincere voice 4. Try to give some views with other crypto platform, not just coinbase, a bit of info for beginners, 5 star is best for the whole course, though a lot of opportunities to have it more interesting, goodluck…

Un corso per capire che strumenti possono essere utili per scambiare denaro con criptovalute. Semplice, chiaro, veloce, pratico, dà anche qualche nozione su dove fare un deposito sicuro. Certo non è questo il corso dove capire le criptovalute di per se stesse e su quale investire.

Good basic knowledge about opening an crypto exchange account along with buying & selling. Also gives you fundamental information on how to transfer your cryptocurrency between exchange accounts and how to secure your crypto in a private crypto wallet.

Overall, not bad. Got a good understanding of how to set up my Coinbase and Binance accounts. But, does not tell you why I need to do this. What are the advantages of having these two services? Also, what other use is the wallet for? I was left without answers. I guess I need to find a more advanced course, but, another 5 or 10 minutes of explanation would have been nice. Thanks.

time will tell. I was a long time subscriber to lynda so im taking this course get a feel for the rythym. im here to program marlowe. I am a novice trader so im finding the recap refreshing. while I get a feel for the rythym and captivation ratio for me of a udemy experience. this is my first course on this platform.

This course is great! And I really appreciate their focus on doing things safely rather than telling me how to get rich quick. I just want to know what I’m doing and that I’m doing it the right way.

I think this course is pretty fun. I like how your school explains information on cryptocurrencies. The lessons sometimes feel more like a documentary than a tutorial which I liked a lot. The nice production value and narration kept me excited to learn more. Recommend!
