About the Course

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....

I was glad that the courses introduced to many of the applications of the technology, however, most of applications were 'could be' scenarios, which had major challenges to implement, which the course ignores. Many articles being shared dated back to 2016-18, and if the concepts from these articles and examples haven't been implemented yet, or fails to enter mainstream, there has to be some challenges as well, and even if these challenges were mentioned, they were explained very vaguely

Good generic overview but substantial part of the content is outdated and the course seems never to have been updated since 2018, with many dead links to supposed recommended readings. Also, the instructors advertise their own book and website too much.

Lectures are often from 2017 or 2019 at last. However, participants explain complex things in a simple way. Good.

Most of the content is dated, it feels very much like state of the art in 2018, but in this field, 4 years, is more like 4 decades. DeFi is not really covered (at least not enough for being in the title of the course).

Blockchain business models like bAirbnb... yes there have been some attempts, but 4 years in, it is not the killer application.

Also, it has not really answered why Bitcoin would have value (or not). Nassim Taleb's 2021 paper would have been an interesting counterpoint.

Why I give it 2 stars? When you are a beginner, you will still be better off having spent those hours to get the tools to get an up to date know-how than randomly roaming on some blogs.

Outdated content from 2018. Many broken links to reading assignments. Forbes content is behind a paywall.
