Introduction to Investing in Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies are in the news, but what are they really, how do they work and what risks do they carry? In this course you get a critical and complete picture: from the history of money and blockchain to wallets, exchanges, analysis, tax, fraud and the question of whether cryptocurrencies have a future. This is not investment advice: we help you understand and compare, and we do not give prices, coins or platforms. Each lesson has four tabs: lesson, practice, exercises and deep dive.
