Description

You have heard the term “blockchain”, right? But you are still not very clear what it is exactly. Or perhaps, you know something about it, but don’t understand how it works, where its value comes from, and how is it developing currently.    It is the technology powering crypto-assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum and many others. And it has become the hottest field in the tech sector now.   Blockchain has the potential to change the world and few people realize all its far-reaching applications beyond Bitcoin.   Its disruptive potential has been compared to that of the Internet. That’s why people call it “the Internet of money” or “the Internet of value”.    Now, compare this course to having a roadmap to the Internet in the early 1990s. A comprehensive guide that enables you to fully understand the new space and empowers you to make correct fully-informed decisions. You will be able to see new business opportunities before others do. You will be able to distinguish good ideas and projects from bad ones. You will learn how blockchain works and how it can be applied in various sectors. Moreover, you will get a new perspective on decentralized economic systems, which are expected to play a huge role in the future. This is the “sharing economy” 2.0 – powered by crypto-economics and blockchain. This is what “Blockchain for Business: The New Industrial Revolution” will teach you!   Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive educational material on the subject, which delivers the best value for money to our audience.   After the unprecedented growth of the crypto-asset market, fuelled by speculation and emotions, it is high time to increase awareness and understanding of blockchain technology among the general public.     We believe that understanding should come first, before anyone starts making any decisions with real-world implications. That’s why our team created this course and tried to design it in the most clear, accessible and fun way. This is by no means a highly technical course and our focus here is not programming. We are not going to show you how to write code. But we are going to explain everything else, which is relevant and important to know about blockchain.    Our materials are designed to explain the fundamentals of blockchain technology, crypto-economics and their applications in business and everyday life to people without a technical background.    We hope you are as passionate about constantly upgrading your knowledge base, as we are. Because knowledge is power!So, let’s begin! Take this course today and become part of the new industrial revolution that is already shaping the future! P.S. We believe this is an excellent educational product. But if you are not completely happy with the value you have received at the end, don’t worry - we offer a full 30-day unconditional refund. Sounds amazing, right? So, why wait? Your bet is hedged, and you have unlimited upside! Let’s start our blockchain journey together!
