About the Course

Today, large intermediaries establish trust in our economy and control the movement, storage, and allocation of money and assets. The status quo, however, is rife with inefficiencies. In this course, we’ll address the many challenges of the status quo and discuss how cryptoassets, smart contracts, new identity systems, and new financial business models can help overcome them. You’ll learn how blockchain technology empowers individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the tools they need to help level the playing field and to participate in the value they create. By the end of this course, you’ll learn how and why transacting on the blockchain can help us bring about a future that is faster, fairer, and more distributed than the world we inhabit today....

Course is excellent however certificate does not look authentic as the INSEAD Business school logo is not displayed correctly.

Have given numerous examples to Coursera suppot with the most recent certs that my colleagues got for the same program where the logo is displayed correctly. But it seems Coursera is reluctant to fix the problem for my certs.

I hope coursera will take this issue seriously instead of giving endless excuses,.

Too simplistic and feels like a never ending advertisement of their book. Even though INSEAD's name is included this does not seem to have any academic rigor at all.

The course is very well structured, an eye opener. I found the extra reading included particularly useful as it can clarify some concepts which can be initially hard to understand for someone used to our centralised world. Being packed with new concepts, It's not something to digest straight away however the various topics are laid out in the course and it's up to the student to soak them up at their own pace and possibly then being able to understand where to focus after completing the course.

An extremely clear, concise and contextual course for individuals aiming to sharpen their skills in crypto or learn about the industry for the first time! Loved the father & son combo and even though the course is starting to age (where crypto moves and develops so quickly) its very important to learn the history in the space and how we got to where we are today. Very much recommend and looking forward to adding this credential to the CV! Thanks guys

Great course to get a good understanding what and how Blockchain technology impacts and disrupts to current automated world. The study goes through elementary aspects like identity management, smart contracts and impacts on business models, does recaps with small tests and makes studying a pleasant, great joy to do. Thanks so much, good luck to both Tapscott gentlemen and Insead as a course provider.

I enjoyed this course and found it very helpful in explaining some foundational knowledge required for a broad understanding of digital assets. Some updates to reflect the everchanging digital asset space would be helpful since most of this material seems dated to 2018 or 2019, and the profound changes in the crypto markets during 2020 and 2021 could create a lot more up to date content.
