Course description

There is a lot more to Blockchain than cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Blockchain introduces new principles that can revolutionize entire industries, like electricity and the computer did back in the days.

Blockchain brings new tools that, when applied correctly, allow to revisit large- and small-scale problems and introduce solutions that can guarantee security or anonymity at a pace unseen until now. Forget the hype about Bitcoin trading, the real value in Blockchain is in the real-world applications of its principles.

This course teaches the fundamentals of Blockchain. We introduce all the technical concepts that you need to understand before you can start your journey of revolutionizing your industry.



This introductory course was designed for technical staff, but it is also very suitable for executives and managers who want to start thinking big about Blockchain.


All the video lessons come with English closed captions/subtitles, which have been automatically translated into the following languages: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian and Urdu.

    I already knew some of it, but there were some good basic technical explanations and analogies and it answered some of my questions. I feel a little better prepared to take the next Ethereum course now. The platform has a few quirks, but nothing to distracting.
