C2. Understanding Crypto Coins Course Overview

This course will help you establish a general understanding of the nature of the most popular crypto coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, VeChain, Cardano, NEO, Stellar, and Monero. 

What is the difference between crypto coins and tokens?

Coins are cryptocurrencies that have their own blockchain. Cryptocurrency tokens run as smart contracts on existing blockchains. The Understanding Crypto Coins course will start you on a path to completely understanding cryptocurrency coins and tokens and how to successfully trade both.

A cryptocurrency is a form of digital asset based on a network that is distributed across a large number of computers. This decentralized structure allows them to exist outside the control of governments and central authorities; also making them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for beginners to attain wealth.

Governments, banks, multinational corporations, and billionaires are scrambling to regulate, and control, the cryptocurrency markets. They all know that cryptocurrency is creating a massive transfer of wealth from the richer to the poorer. This may be the last opportunity for anyone to benefit from courses like Understanding Crypto Coins and prepare for wealth building.
