Course summary

Course 1 (introduction and History):

In this course, Eric (Coach) shares a valuable short history of the internet, the original vision behind the world-wide-web, and how we ended up with the current internet. With the current internet, there are major challenges such as the presence of middleman companies that control and sell our very own data and make billions of dollars by doing so. This chapter will show you how now we have the technology to take our digital ID back and protect it with a digital private key. Now that is the first step into financial sovereignty. It’s important to understand the challenges before we can take advantage of the opportunities that have been created in response to them.

Course 2 (Bitcoin and Blockchain 1.0)
