Today, large intermediaries establish trust in our economy and control the movement, storage, and allocation of money and assets. The status quo, however, is rife with inefficiencies. In this course, we’ll address the many challenges of the status quo and discuss how cryptoassets, smart contracts, new identity systems, and new financial business models can help overcome them. You’ll learn how blockchain technology empowers individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the tools they need to help level the playing field and to participate in the value they create. By the end of this course, you’ll learn how and why transacting on the blockchain can help us bring about a future that is faster, fairer, and more distributed than the world we inhabit today.

Principais avaliações do BLOCKCHAIN, CRYPTOASSETS, AND DECENTRALIZED FINANCE
I have enjoyed the courses hosted by the father/son duo. They are very good at explaining everything so that I can digest and understand the material.
Great intro, but needs urgent update. Absolutely recommendable as a first step into crypto and DeFi education.
I liked this course as it very thorough but it also does no shy away from the gaps, still to be solved
Great instructors who are experts in the field. Highly recommended to expand your knowledge on Blockchain, Cryptoassets, smart contacts, and the future of technology and our world.
Thank you!
