INTRODUCTION TO CRYPTOCURRENCY

I am Coconut-Chanel

I have been blogging on Steemit for the past few months and, having had quite a success, I have decided to take the first step to professional blogging and start my very own website: Coconut-Chanel

A few months ago I was introduced to the Steemit platform by a friend.

For those of you who don't know what Steemit is, it is a blockchain powered social media platform that rewards you for creating and posting interesting and original content.

At the time, I knew nothing about cryptocurrency, decentralization or even what a blockchain was.

I was initially attracted to the idea of being paid for my content. I have been travelling around the world for years, having such an amazing life, jet-setting the globe, experiencing exciting new places and different cultures so I thought: "this is too good to be true..!" I can write about all my adventures, share them and get paid for it?

Yes absolutely it was true. My journey with Steemit, Dtube and Dlive has been an incredible evolution and I am now ready to take a step forward with my blog.

However, underneath this beautiful travelling rocknrolla, fashion-addict, foodie lies a total nerd, who has a thirst for knowledge and a desire to understand and master new topics. I wanted to, in fact, I had to know everything about the crypto world.

Cryptocurrencies have taken the world by storm. It's crazy to think that the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was created just ten years ago and now there are over 1500 of them! Sometimes it seems like they've been here forever. And yet the world of crypto is somewhat mysterious and difficult to understand at first.

So it wasn't long before I started looking around for some online courses and looking at wallets, trading applications and other ways to invest in cryptocurrency.

After enrolling on a few different courses and doing various researches, it was information overload.. Many of the courses were expensive and they were over complicated and badly laid out and I ended up more confused than when I started.

One stood out in quality and ease of use above all the others it was comprehensive and engaging and explained very well. It's called Bitdegree

BitDegree is described as "the world's first blockchain based education platform with token scholarships & talent networking".

The goal of Bitdegree is to provide the best online courses with a blockchain reward system, basically students can learn interesting new skills and get rewarded for learning. So building quality, interactive, and engaging learning experience is essential if this platform wants to be successful. And you can actually earn while you learn!
A perfect synergy for the Steemit philosophy.

Currently, they have thousands of students signing up every day so I believe it will become a huge platform which will not only disrupt, but revolutionize, the education sector.

They have all sorts of technical and specialized courses which are almost non existent in Universities, where methods of teachings and curriculum are getting outdated forcing thousands of people worldwide to seek education through the Internet. I feel that this platform is the University of the future and we should take advantage of the free courses now whilst in their embryonic stage before they become expensive paid tuition.

Is Bitdegree the future alternative to conventional education?

Maybe...
I had to try for myself.

Through these courses and bite-size tutorials like "Cryptocurrency for Dummies" everything is broken down and explained comprehensively.

You don't need any prior knowledge of cryptocurrencies to understand this tutorial. In fact, this course is created for someone like me who is entirely new to this world.
