 Hello and welcome to the Daily Decrypt. I am your happy host Amanda B. Johnson and today's episode is brought to you by New Bits. So you want to be a crypto wizard but you're just not sure where to start. Well, luckily for you there are several sites online, most of them free, that will give you the mastery you desire in less time than it takes to stand in line at the student loan office at a college campus. Come on and follow me down the rabbit hole. First check out the famous Khan Academy which features a video series entitled What is Bitcoin? which explains how Bitcoin transactions work, where they live, on a blockchain, who secures the transactions and why they are considered secure. The nine videos are presented in Khan's hallmarked handwritten style and can be viewed in their entirety in just a day or two. Second, the University of Nicosia, which offers a Masters of Science in Digital Currency, also makes their introductory course available online for free. It covers things like how consensus is achieved via mathematical algorithms, practical applications like how to securely store cryptocurrency, and overviews of the future of innovation. The free class is a semester long, takes place three times a year, and streams its lectures live, though videos can be watched on your own time later. Upon completion of a semester, your certification is embedded on the Bitcoin blockchain and registration is now open. Third is a series called Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies, hosted by four lecturers from Princeton. It gives introductions to things like cryptography, mining, and the continually nebulous term of decentralization. Its 11 videos are each one to two hours long, come complete with written chapters and can be viewed at your own pace for free. Fourth, DigiNomics is soon to offer its first course called the Economics of Bitcoin. The class will cover the history of multiple currencies like gold and silver, things like inflation versus deflation, and will provide political analysis on the future implications of widespread cryptocurrency use. The four module class costs $100, is payable in Bitcoin or fiat, and comes with one on one mentorship and certification upon completion. And fifth, you can test out your newfound crypto wizardry at Crypto Compare, where your knowledge can earn you shiny merit badges. The socially geared side offers forums, charts, and price comparisons for all of the most popular cryptocurrencies, as well as user review sections for things like mining rigs, wallets, and exchanges.
