I am really enjoying this course more and more. Especially now there is more video, being that my learning process comprehends better that way. Thank you
Course is excellent however certificate does not display INSEAD business school logo correctly. Had escalated problem to Coursera support team and waiting for the resolution.
A lot of information, but I feel like I have a basic and solid understanding of the BC works and some of the issues surrounding it and its adoption.
This course has been the best source for me to learn what blockchain technology is all about in very easy-to-understand terms. It was very informative and the instructors were impeccable.
