How well are you educated about crypto?
I spend many hours in the day learning about crypto and also doing a number of transactions in the crypto space. One of my most important activities is that I am currently attending an MSc in the field of Blockchain & Digital Currency.
Since I discovered crypto back in 2017, one of my main concerns & goals was to learn as much as I could. This seemed to be the next big thing in the world (and I was not wrong), so I had to master it. I needed to know more about it! So I decided to be always informed about educational programs (free or paid) about this field.
I will post many more of these in the future, this post is about 2 courses in Decrypt.co, that have to do with Metaverse & NFTs, subjects that are being very much discussed lately. So if you do not have any experience, or if you would like to learn more about them (while getting an NFT reward for your efforts) — then you are in the right place!
About Crypto Education
Crypto education is crucial for anyone interested in participating in the world of digital currencies. It is important to understand the risks associated with investing in crypto, including market volatility, security threats, and scams. Additionally, a solid understanding of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and other related concepts is essential for those who wish to know more about decentralized applications. Overall, a strong foundation in crypto education can empower individuals to make informed decisions and engage with the world of digital currencies more effectively.
I was writing last November about how I got my NFT for completing the Bitcoin course via decrypt.co
Today we will see the course about Metaverse and I will guide you through it!
About Metaverse
The metaverse is a term used to describe a collective virtual shared space where users can engage in a variety of activities and interactions, often in the form of immersive virtual reality environments.
The concept of the metaverse is still evolving, and there is much debate about what it will ultimately look like and how it will function. At the moment there are many different metaverses and they all have different features and possibilities. The potential of the metaverse to transform the way we live, work, and play in the digital world is an exciting prospect for many, so learning about it as much as possible is very important for our present & for our future.
