A very good explanation of blockchain and Bitcoin. It so much easier to understand what is blockchain, how it works and the issues surrounding its future use and challenges.

Well rounded introduction to digital currencies with knowledgeable lecturers. The videos from Securitize & Broadridge were the icing on the cake for a novice like me. Thank you!

Good introductory course to Blockchain/Crypto technologies and digital currencies/assets but it needs updating... a lot of things have happened since 2019.

Good Introductory course, a bit outdated since I am taking it in Sep 2025 (i.e.: the Bitcoin at the time of the course was ~$4K, today is ~$110K)

Week 1 and 4 are awesome for a beginner in BC but week 2 and 3 require more focus, right now it looks more technical and less informative.

A glossary would be fine, because the teachers don't use vocabulary that average people would use. The vocabulary is super complex.
