Welcome to my Crypto Currency class! Through my experience teaching and investing, I will help your learner understand cryptocurrencies and build confidence in knowing what they are, how they work, and why they exist. I have been a stock and futures margin trader for more than 20 years, and I have been trading Bitcoin and other cryptos for the past 7 years. I will teach students the good and the bad about cryptos, and we will have fun as we learn about the most exciting investment in the world. The class is interective, and student participation is encouraged (but not required). No student will be pressured to take part in discussions, so they can engage at their own comfort level. We will use slides, photos, and infographics to supplement our discussion so everyone can learn. Also, I will do a short review at the beginning of each class. If your learner has to miss a class, they can catch up (and ask questions) at the next day's review. Please note: this course has a minimum of four students required. If there are fewer than four in your class 12 hours before the class is due to start, you might be moved to another section at a similar time. I will always give notification to the student if this happens.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a solid understanding of the basic concepts behind cryptocurrencies: why they were created, what they are used for (both now and in the future), and how to safely store them. They will learn about the volatility and risk involved and how to understand what drives the big swings in price.
