Description
Do you feel like everyone is talking about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies these days? Some people say that it's the future, some people say that it's just a fad, but either way, people are talking about it! Though there are many cryptocurrencies on the rise these days (there are currently more than 1,500 cryptocurrencies out there!), there's no doubt that Bitcoin is the world's most popular cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin has actually been around for almost ten years, but it hasn't ever had as much buzz as it has right now. However, with all of that buzz, comes many misconceptions. Though many of them aren't true, the whole concept of cryptocurrency is quite complex, so if you are confused about how it works and what it even is, you are not alone! There are tremendous upsides for crypto investors, but also great risks for those who do not understand this new market. This course will make sure that you are informed and ready to confidently move forward on your crypto journey!
Whether you already have Bitcoin, or are thinking about investing in Bitcoin, I firmly believe that you should not put money into something that you do not understand, so I am here to teach you everything you need to know about it. Upon completion of my course, you should be able to confidently answer the question everyone is asking right now… should I buy Bitcoin?
In addition to investing, the tech side of Bitcoin is fascinating! In the course I included several deep dives into the technology behind bitcoin and how it works. If you're a nerd like me you'll love seeing behind the curtain.
In this course I will do a deep dive on Bitcoin and teach you everything you need to know, including:
- What is Bitcoin
- How Bitcoin came to be
- Who controls Bitcoin
- How Blockchain technology works
- How to get started with Bitcoin
- How mining works
- What a Bitcoin wallet is
- How to buy Bitcoin
- Where to buy Bitcoin
- How to sell Bitcoin
- Why Bitcoin has value
- Common misconceptions
- Trading strategies
- And more!
Besides Bitcoin, we will also touch on other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. I have also included a section where I interview some of Twitter and YouTube's top cryptocurrency experts. And as an extra bonus, there also is a section on taxes, which I know is everyone's favorite topic ;) I am no tax expert though, so I brought in a CPA to answer all of our questions on how our cryptocurrencies will be taxed, especially after the new 2018 US tax reform. Luckily taxes really are her favorite topic, so this section is definitely worth a listen.
I honestly believe that this course has everything you need to get started with, be informed about, and have fun with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, so let's get started!
Who this course is for:
- Those who want to invest in cryptocurrency but don’t know where to start
- Those who want to learn more about how Bitcoin works

Hi! I'm Nick, and I love to code. About five years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to code, but I had limited access to programming resources, and I was getting frustrated with all of the YouTube videos and online tutorials out there. I experimented, struggled, and definitely failed a lot, but I finally got the hang of it, so I decided that I wanted to change the way that people learned to code, and I started teaching. My experience as an online student has directly influenced my teaching style, because I know what it is like to be in your shoes.
When
Apple announced their new programming language, Swift, in 2014, I made my big online teaching debut and created the
internet's first Swift course. Since that time, I have
become a full-time online instructor and I now have courses not only in Swift,
but also in iOS, Android, Django, Kotlin, Python, HTML, Blockchain, etc. I have also created five iOS apps from scratch that are currently live in the App Store and are being used by thousands of users worldwide.
I love sharing my excitement for coding with my students, and I try to make learning as fun and as easy as possible. Thanks for being part of my coding community!
