WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course isn’t about selling products or offering financial advice, and we’re not here to convince you that cryptocurrencies are the future of finance. Like anything new, there are scams and traps in the world of crypto, but there are genuine investment opportunities too. If you’re ready to make informed decisions and want to ensure you’re starting off on the right foot, you’re in the right place. This course is designed to shine a light on the prudent path in what can often feel like the wild west, guiding you each step of the way to help ensure your success.

Informed Decisions: Make better decisions about important foundational principles.
We’ll help you get started with some solid foundational security steps and perspectives on crypto, so you can take a little, and ideally turn it into a lot.
