keep the content even more simple, as though you are explaining it to a ten year old. Give a better explanation of why bitcoin and others have any value whatsoever. If there is no intrinsic value, then what is driving the value? Seems there is no answer to this except for mass psychology.

Well thought out course for beginners. Information seems up to date.

By Erika B Shadow on 5/5/2025

I wish all of the online classes, and the ones through Udemy were put together as well as this class. The information was engaging and informative. I feel like I have learned a lot about the basics of cryptocurrency. He gave us lots of ways to research and learn more on our own. he has a wonderful speaking voice, and I hope I can find more classes on this website through him.

By Bryan Rodenberger on 3/13/2025

My first crypto course on Udemy was with a different instructor, who was a fun and very knowledgeable guy. The trouble for me was that his curriculum was heavily dependent on operating Excel at a high level. So that made things frustrating for me. However the background that I got really helped me with this course since I was very familiar with the terminology and the basic architecture of the crypto world.

By Toby Blake on 2/12/2025

Really good, detailed course. Covers all the basics I can imagine anyone would need. Interesting how the crypto world is so much more than just about by investing and trading currencies for profit. The material is covered in detail and in a clear, organized manner. Some of it is repetitive, and although this can be helpful for reinforcement, a portion of the repetition felt unneeded. Otherwise, excellent course.

By William Kingdon on 1/7/2025

This has been a great course so far. Really well explained with clear strategies for deploying capital. I didn’t have that much prior experience with crypto investing so this was a great resource to get me up to speed.

By Karren Yesin on 1/7/2025
