Has anyone tried enrolling in a cryptocurrency related course? Anyone who has completed one, either online or offline one. Any thoughts on taking one?

That is good and very nice to know because I think that from now we need to encourage youth to do some study about cryptocurrencies and it's system therefore they will have a guidance and learn basic information about it because I'm pretty sure that cryptosystem will be much successful in the near future. So what we are doing now is preparing our youth for their upcoming future.

Semi-Decentralized Exchange

If this is possible it's a good news to help our economy grow. Unemployment rate will reduce if this happens. Young millionaires will raise. There are lot of possibilities wil come. All those negative thoughts will be erase if all of us will know more about Bitcoin.

wow that would be good but i prefer the cryptoeducation platform in a blockchain base out there, we have blockchain.edu, bitscool, bitdegree etc, they are more focus on blockchain and you can can earn also token from them in many ways while educationg yourself. you might wanna try one Wink

Looking at the course from a completely topographical level it looks more like a waste of time with information that almost anyone would be able to figure out over the course of a few days on their own. It seems like the course itself is very topographical, but maybe finding a bit more of its information from the technical aspect of the whitepaper. It could be good for people that are interested in the tech of it, but the course doesn't seem to teach anything when it comes to the design and coding of cryptos, which would be designed by students. Just something I think they should have included.

Information is power. This will surely help quite a lot of people to gain knowledge about Cryptocurrency as a whole. All terminologies, concept and techniques will be a piece if cake with this.

Very true. You can never underestimate the power of knowledge. Having proper info will equip you to plan better, set the right goals and help you map out your future. Because ultimately, the investments we make will determine how stable our future will be

There's no doubt for me that cryptocurrencies are going to displace roughly 25% of national currencies by 2030. They’re just much more efficient, the way they run. They are not very liquid today, but that/s a question of time. Have you heard about Paytomat? Basically, it is a Decentralized System for Cryptocurrency Payments. I've checked their team and partners, quite impressive. They support 11 cryptocurrencies already, have many trustworthy partners like SONM, NEM, Hacken. Take into account!

it is good to have a courses about cryptocurrency. You can gain knowledge about crypto deeper.
if cryptocurrency has been used by everyone, i believe cryptocurrency will become a compulsory course in college.

Nothing wrong in gaining more knowledge on something you already invested in. The more things you know, the less changes of losing.

I believe MIT and Stanford university are going to offer crypto/blockchain courses. There are more: https://www.accounting-degree.org/college-cryptocurrency-blockchain-courses/

If you have the opportunity to,hell yeah. I didn't get a chance to,but if you do and if you are techie,sure you should. Not everyone gets such a opportunity.

This looks more like technical course about cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Something you could hear at Computer Science class on University.
I took some courses but they were more focused on trading and not so much on technology and cryptography. But that is welcome as well so thanks for sharing.

In life knowledge have always been the key to make difference in any field one find itself. It will would be really nice if we can attend one or more course related to blockchain and also encourage some people around us to acquire knowledge about blockchain. Looking at the misconception in the cryptocurrencies is as a result of lack of knowledge off blockchain.

Personally I haven't done any courses but i think they are a very
important thing going forward. Learning coding along with how
Blockchains work and learning about mining, economics and trading
would be very beneficial.

Of course we can all learn this from online sources like forums and
youtube for example but learning it directly from a knowledgeable
source is a step further.

finally there is also a bitcoin education, this is an opportunity for my friends who want to learn bitcoin further, while there is a chance like this is better and we should try it because of our opportunity.

The earlier we learn all about cryptocurrencies the better as it will equip us with abundant knowledge that we can share with others. Cryptocurrency is the future of money and therefore we need to key ourselves into it. I see it being thought as subject in schools in the nearest future.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments

I completed a couple of these courses when I first got involved with cryptocurrency a few years back, I found that they tend to talk of the most mundane aspects of cryptocurrency, e.g. explaining how mining works, going into excessive detail about how the decentralized ledger works with multiple metaphors and comparisons. Definitely not worth watching if you already have some idea about crypto, as you could gain the same information from simply reading a few stickies around here.

I would however, like some good guides on how to develop your own blockchain, or write smart-contracts, I know some of these exist, but they are rudimentary. I want extensive content.

I do believe this course is a bit old and is free, I've looked some parts of it way back. Dunno maybe they have added few videos now but it is imformative well enough and I do believe if you watch all videos newbies can learn a lot about cryptocurrency in general. Very imformative, at least parts I've watched

If you are interested about blockchain tech and way how business are seeing to make centralzied ones you can also check these courses:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/ibm-blockchain-essentials-for-developers , https://www.edx.org/course/blockchain-business-introduction-linuxfoundationx-lfs171x

Although I found them not entertaining enough since I mostly know what they are talking about, but courses are free and can be good start

well I don`t think it would be very helpful because what someone can teach about crypto currencies that we can`t research but if that is a course for price analysis and analytics as in finance than it is worth it

I haven't myself but have heard mostly that they're just regurgitating information that is freely and readily available elsewhere without the large fees attached to it. That's like most online courses. People some to have a mental block in that they don't feel like they can learn unless they're paying someone else to teach them.

You're thinking about the scammy ones, usually by some crypto preacher or something of that sort. They mostly tackle investment advice, and you'll pick up nothing new if you know how to google. The one OP cited is actually free and legit. It goes in-depth into the blockchain side of Bitcoin and crypto in general, and I've heard good things about it.

Yep, I am. I seem to come across a lot more of them then anything else. Maybe because they're pushed that much harder than the legitimate ones. Given it has your stamp of approval and it's free then maybe I will check it out for myself. It would be of great benefit if there was more free quality information for people to learn about crypto.

Do let us know if you actually try it out, make sure to report back if possible! By the way, I was actually talking about reputable courses too, from major providers/university's not some paid crap you may find on websites such as Udemy.
