The course largely follows the instructor's book albeit with an easier to follow introduction. As such, this first course is an overview and it gets us ready for the information to follow.

Great introduction for a novice or someone that already has crypto knowlegable. A bit intermeidate with finance concepts, I recommend having some introductory knowledge.

It does provide a good overview, but needs to be updated. For example, when the course was created Ethereum followed PoW and though course does say it will move to PoS, now in 2024 it has moved over. Then there was the question of price volatility in the quiz of module 4, it is very subjective and depends upon the time horizon, and definitely in the recent past the trend has been downwards.

I didn't realize this is 4 course class! Therefore for a while i thought the professor didn't go into any details of a lot concept. i honestly didn't feel like I learnd anything i didn't already know. He focused a lot on the very obvious kinda of theory and touched superficially on the concepts of a lot technology. However i found it much better when I watch in 2x speed.

The concepts are mostly read from the slides and haven't been explained well. You tube has better explained content available free of cost

I got to know more about crypto its origin and its working. However, some of the contents were repetitive

unacceptable level of transcription errors. A pity, because the lecturer knows his stuff.
