Some of the links (between chapter 6 to 10) aren't working. Further, the posts and questions forum aren't really interactive because most students have posted their comments 2, 3 weeks ago and they've moved to something else. Yet, the content wants you to believe it's an interactive forum.

some terms are super technical and non-IT people may get lost.

However, I did learn and the flow is fine. really good one may revisit some topics even later. Thumbs ups for the additional readings and advice from practitioners

Yo trataria de reducir mas la cantidad de videos y pondria unicamente los mas conceptuales los videos con profesionales del medio los pondria como videos de interes, no obligatorios, tengo 20 años de IT manger y sigo insistiendo que importante es dar charlas tecnicas en el mismo idioma del que escucha aunque sepa ingles.

The course is very good for beginners . However as a Banking Credit and Risk professional , we would like to have more insight on how will Block chain help in day to day credit operations .

Net Net the course gave me a very broad insight about Block Chain in the Bitcoin world.

Additional reading provided were quite good. Some of the modules could have been cut short regarding content and more visuals could be brought in regarding basics especially how do miners and nodes act.

I loved the course content/structure, easy to understand instructions and clarity of the trainers.

I wish that all the external links could be accessible for free and without an additional signup.

Quite Interesting introduction - but takes too much time to review basic principles - 1 week would have been enough. Reading materials are mainly press articles about Bitcoin and Blockchain

Me pareció muy buena información, muy bien explicada, solo prodrian mejorar que algunos materiales de apoyo (enlaces) no deberian ser pagos para acceder o subcribirse a páginas.

The first two weeks lecture or material is better as using explain how it works, later chapters are more of abstract, or qualitative info.

meh. Shame the reading materials are 2-3 years old. Which means decades for the blockchain and crypto universes.
