Description
The Blockchain Fundamentals course is designed for complete beginners to blockchain so the language used is easy to understand without technical jargon and I take time to explain the key concepts giving real examples where possible to bring to life this often abstract subject.
My aim is that you finish the course inspired about what blockchain is and why it is a world changing technology that is here to stay and moreover, how it can change the world for the better!
Learn about the fundamentals of blockchain including:

Web 2.5 as the bridge from a web 2 to web 3 world: A change of mindset is an essential part of this transition and I take time to explain why this is important and how you can start to do this today. With empowerment comes responsibility.
Bitcoin and the birth of decentralization: Bitcoin is the first and most successful use-case of blockchain technology and it is all because the creator(s) solved the so-called 'double-spend' problem. This changed everything.
Blockchain evolution from Bitcoin to NFTs to the Metaverse and beyond: Bitcoin started this revolution but a lot has happened since 2009 and many people and companies have been building many fascinating and useful projects on top of it and things aren't slowing down anytime soon.
Industries ripe for disruption: We look at a few powerful use-cases across a selection of industries. The aim here is to get you thinking about the bigger picture of what blockchain is disrupting and how in many cases, it removes the 3rd party in a transaction. Think about that for a minute...
4 key protocols to arrive at consensus: Blockchain means nothing without consensus (common agreement) and there are 4 main types that we'll look at all with pros and cons for each.
4 main types of blockchain: Bitcoin is a public blockchain which means the ledger is completely transparent but there are 3 other types which have powerful use-cases in a wide array of sectors including finance, retail, NGOs and many more.
Cryptocurrencies and digital wallets - your access to the wonderful web 3 world: Cryptocurrencies are a popular use of blockchain so we'll look at what they are and can be used for plus most importantly, how they are secured and managed using a digital wallet. These are a fundamental elements that facilitate access to our web 3 world and securing them is of paramount importance when it comes to securing our digital assets which also can include NFTs.

Who this course is for:
People who have heard about blockchain, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and are curious to know how to get involved whether for personal or professional reasons.

Passionate about blockchain since 2016, certified blockchain expert since 2018 and an experienced educator, I'm thrilled to be accompanying you on this journey of discovery into web 3. I have worked extensively with business professionals both face-to-face an online for over 16 years and have a deep passion for my subject as I feel that it can make the world a more inclusive and connected place. My wish is that you complete this course with as much passion and enthusiasm as I did when I discovered blockchain in 2026.
