Explained everything in detail. I did have to do some of my own research to fully understand but it was overall great! Highly recommend for anyone who is trying to be more involved in the Blockchain.

This course was everything you said it would be, quite informational but a lot of work. I enjoyed the slides because they were advanced and quite organized with large volume - it is TRUE :) And I als

No explican nada de trading, aboslutamente nada. Demasiado tecnico y matematico, aparte de una didactica un poco aburrida. Un curso que no te va a servir de nada más allá de lo que te diga wikipedia. Los profesores podrían ser más dinámicos, leer de una presentación se leerlo yo tambien sin necesidad de ver videos. Buscaba un curso, no un audiolibro.

the first three weeks were amazing and I would've definitely rated a full five stars had the course been confined to the first three weeks. As it turns out, week four was unbearable with the slow, dry, monotonous voiceover. I couldn't sit through it past the first video and had to read the slides to understand the content.

This course is so many literature, impractical. It should be more case study and visibility/chart to easy to catch up

Content may be at time interesting, but it's lean, it lacks depth, you'll get only the basics, almost no example.
Week 4 is the worse. Dull and Boring. Just powerpoint bullets read loud to you. Except maybe for the last 2 videos which are actually ads from two FinTech startups.
Discussion forum is not really active, and mostly not interesting.
You can't do quiz if you did not buy the certificate (which won't have any value, given the vagueness
I recommend you go for another course on coursera

Too basic ,This course only consists of video lectures , it would be better if they also gave some reading assignments and a project so that it makes the concepts more easier to understand, they quiz were very easy.

Crypto-currency complex concepts are outlined in a simple, yet coherent way. I particularly liked the week 1 through 3 lessons, which featured not only an explication of the minutiae behind blockchain and cryptos, but also a big-picture framework of why they work (and why their future viability can be argued from different vantage points). Week 4 was a bit more superficial: it is not sufficient to name 10 business cases to flesh out the crypto ecosystem in its entirety. Nor the ecosystem regulation can be reduced to naming 4 or 5 US regulators. Having said this, the last two modules of week 4 really brought to life how blockchain can be applied in real life.

Excellent course. Five Stars to all presenters.
Very relevant topic.
The course is divided in four modules. The overall course provides a well-rounded understanding of cryptocurrencies (focusing on Bitcoin) and Blockchain.
The course considers both theoretical and practical aspects of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain. It explores some of the benefits, limitations and weaknesses. It also presents potential practical uses.

The Wharton School is an outstanding business school and has made a great decision in making Fin-Tech a specialization to study and explore. The course goes into depth and great detail. The quiz is up to the mark and challenge, as per the lectures.
Cryptocurrency and Blockchain need to be deeply understood. This technology is either the future or never to take off in the mainstream.

Excellent overview for a busy professional. The first 3 weeks were an nicely laid out summary of cryptos as an asset class; I found a lot of valuable insights there, cutting through some of the hype around cryptos. The 4th week felt a bit out of place, felt pitched at a different audience and I just skimmed over it. I felt this was a valuable use of time.

Each module had something special to offer from foundational overview on blockchain and digital currencies to a deep dive in on Blockchain and Bitcoin to thinking about Cryptocurrency as an asset class in traditional financial markets to the entire ecosystem and business use cases. The course is certainly a good foundational piece.

I thought this course was a great overview of the principles of cryptocurrency. I plan on enrolling in the FinTech: Foundations & Applications of Financial Technology Specialization based on this excellent introductory course. I thought the professors were excellent and the material was presented in a clear and logical manner.

Great course to understand the basics of Crypto and Blockchain. For me, the first 3 modules were great and the 4th was pretty in depth and over my head at that point. It did help scrape the surface of FinTech at the end and I can say I have a basic understanding of Blockchain technologies. Thank you for the great course!
