Having briefly traded crypto assets back in 2017, I thought I had a decent understanding of the subject. However, I quickly realized how much the field has evolved since then. Blockchain technology and its applications have grown rapidly over the past few years and continue to evolve at an incredible pace. In his course, Niklas not only provides a comprehensive overview of the history and current state of the crypto world, but also offers deep insights into the underlying technology and the vibrant community surrounding it. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in crypto and eager to understand what's happening in this dynamic and innovative field.
