The System Beneath the Hype — Blockchain & Value

Course info

Every crypto system runs on hidden rules — miss them, and you’ll pay in confusion, fake pages, and $1 that won’t move when it matters.

This course gives you the foundation most people skip. You’ll see how blockchains actually keep order, why tokens exist at all, and how stablecoins hold (or lose) their $1 when stress hits. You’ll learn to read consensus for what it is — rules everyone can check — and to spot when “control” still hides in the code.

What You’ll Learn (to know the rules beneath the price):

  • Ledgers: If you can’t read the ledger yourself, you’ll end up trusting screenshots and dashboards that can lie. You’ll learn how blockchains make edits costly and obvious.
  • Consensus: Without it, you’ll never know if a transaction really “stuck.” You’ll see how networks agree on order and why finality matters.
  • Tokens: Skip the rules in code, and you’ll buy coins with hidden levers. You’ll learn how supply, rights, and control are actually enforced.
  • Stablecoins: If you don’t know what holds $1 in place, you won’t see when it’s about to slip. You’ll learn how they behave in calm — and under stress.

‍

What you gain isn’t just knowledge — it’s the ability to see the rails yourself and stop donating money to mistakes others already made.
