Blockchain and Bitcoin Fundamentals — George Levy

Levy explains blockchain and Bitcoin for learners who need a working vocabulary rather than a programming framework. The published course also addresses using and storing cryptocurrency. Understanding the recordkeeping model first helps separate a technical mechanism from claims about an asset’s future value.

What you will learn

• Describe how a blockchain records transactions
• Explain Bitcoin’s relationship to blockchain technology
• Use common vocabulary in technical and business discussions
• Recognize that custody introduces separate responsibilities

Who this suits

A conceptual starting point for newcomers curious about distributed ledgers. You can study the system and discuss its tradeoffs without buying cryptocurrency or opening an exchange account.

Before you enroll

The course includes practical cryptocurrency use, which can involve irreversible transfers and financial risk. Treat it as education rather than a trading recommendation. Verify any service, regulation, and security guidance against current primary sources before using real funds.

Enrollment is paid through Udemy. A completion certificate follows Udemy's course terms; it does not confer a professional qualification. Check current pricing and access before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Draw a simplified transaction record and explain how a shared history differs from a single organization’s database. List the trust assumptions and operational costs without assigning a future price to a token.
