Description

Course summary


Course 1 (introduction and History):

In this course, Eric (Coach) shares a valuable short history of the internet, the original vision behind the world-wide-web, and how we ended up with the current internet. With the current internet, there are major challenges such as the presence of middleman companies that control and sell our very own data and make billions of dollars by doing so. This chapter will show you how now we have the technology to take our digital ID back and protect it with a digital private key. Now that is the first step into financial sovereignty. It’s important to understand the challenges before we can take advantage of the opportunities that have been created in response to them.


Course 2 (Bitcoin and Blockchain 1.0)

In this course, Eric (Coach) shares everything important to know about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a network, a protocol, a currency, and a language. This chapter will explain all four parts and show you how the combination of these elements makes it an un-censorable, open-source, sound money that is based on the mathematical formula rather than centralized banking such as the federal reserve system in the US.

You will learn how miners operate and how they are incentivized with bitcoin. You will also learn how miners protect the network in a way that you can send, receive, and store your bitcoin directly and in a peer-to-peer fashion. Bitcoin white paper was written in response to the 2007-08 great recession.


Course 3 (Ethereum and Blockchain 2.0):

When Vitalik Buterin, a Russian-Canadian programmer approached the Bitcoin community and proposed to use a Turing-complete scripting language on top of the Bitcoin network, the community rejected his request correctly claiming that that will create Bitcoin network congestion. So, they voted against it. Instead, he decided to create Ethereum. Ethereum protocol lets developers create decentralized applications on its platform. Decentralized Apps, smart contracts, and consensus mechanisms are going to change the face of many jobs and industries. Enterprises are also using the enterprise level Ethereum to bring efficiency, cost-saving, and higher transparency to their operations.

You’ll also get introduced to all major parts and pieces of the decentralized economy including wallets, exchanges, Gas, Tokens, coins, ICOs, STOs, IEOs, DAOs, Oracles and so much more.


Course 4 (Understanding Crypto Projects):

The Crypto economy has two sides, permissioned and permission-less. Governments like the permissioned version because they can control it and protect their citizen. Many others like the permission-less version because through the consensus mechanism, people can directly make decisions for their ecosystems and don’t need an older brother to look over their shoulders. But for this to work, we need to have all the parts and pieces in place. In this course, Eric (Coach) shares everything that you need to know to master the entire crypto ecosystems, shares some opportunities and then he gets into teaching you how fundamental analysis really works in the blockchain space. When you can fundamentally analyze a project yourself, you’ll be able to recognize a good project with a bright future vs. a scam that will deprive you out of your hard-earned money. This course will equip you with the chops to get smarter than your peers and start your journey with all the tools that you need.


Course 5 (Emerging crypto opportunities)

In this course, Eric (Coach) shares valuable insights about the crypto opportunities that exist in 2020 when. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Blockchain in real estate are two of the low hanging and fascinating opportunities that hundreds of projects and companies around the world are targeting and launching products for. Banking, Insurance, Remittance, loan origination, and many other aspects of the current financial world is getting transformed right now.

Also, in real estate, titles, escrows, tokenizing real estate funds, and fractionalize ownership of the real estate with the ability to sell a fraction of real estate to the global real estate investors are some of the opportunities that are either transforming or becoming possible for the first time thanks to the blockchain technology. This is the best time to learn about it.


Course 6 (Blockchain in Business)

Last but not least, in this course, Eric (Coach) will share a lot of valuable insight into how enterprises are adopting blockchain and distributed ledger to gain higher efficiency, reduce cost, and gain higher efficiency and transparency thanks to the blockchain technology. The supply chain is a great example, where all the companies and organizations that work together to create a raw material into a finished good alongside the distribution and management of its part can cooperate in a real-time, immutable ecosystem that gives access to the important data to all the key players at the right time. But that is just one example. Before we can understand how enterprises can take advantage of this technology, we need to understand public blockchains, private blockchains, and consortia. After learning those, the opportunity becomes a lot clearer.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested to have a safe and successful entrance into the decentralized web and its massive opportunities
  • Institutions looking for ways to incorporate blockchain into their companies
  • Entrepreneurs looking to start a new business built using blockchain technology
  • Crypto investors looking for projects with great fundamentals
  • Traders looking for better understanding of these digital assets and their upside and downside potential
