Course Description
If one night you went to sleep and woke up in the deep of the jungle the next day, you will feel lost not knowing where you are and how to get out of it. If you were a bird and managed to fly above the canopy of trees and see where is the direction to home, you most likely will be able to get out of the maze.
This course will bring you to see the whole picture in a bird-eye view. A more holistic view of the blockchain mechanism will help you make a better decision investing in blockchains, cryptocurrencies, or NFTs.
This course will be grouped into 3 main sections:
The past
