For those interested in learning about cryptography (such as Bitcoin), Stanford University is offering a free course that anyone can take online.

The course runs for six weeks and includes weekly lectures, assignments, and optional programming projects. It’s pretty much just like doing a unit at Uni taught by a Stanford Professor.

  Course free but you still need to pay to get certification 111$~

    The certificate is optional. You can still take the course and learn for free.

  The course is about cryptography not cryptocurrency and bitcoin is a cryptocurrency not cryptography. You are misleading people with that description.

    I thought the crypto in cryptocurrency is related to cryptography? I found the course link on the Stanford’s center of blockchain research page https://cbr.stanford.edu/ so I’d assume it’s all related.

      You're both right in different ways.

        Yeah I should have worded it differently. Like bitcoin is probably the most well known, user-case of cryptography.

          @[Deactivated]: I think HTTPS probably holds that title?

          @[Deactivated]: I think you need the course if you think that Bitcoin holds that title.
          But yes, the courses are really good, and worthwhile. I got a certification as well when it was free, and coursera was starting.

            @darkmattersunB6c0MV: I’m new to crypto and blockchain which led me to the Stanford cbr site. Their mission statement reads, “The Center for Blockchain Research (CBR) is a focused research effort on crypto-currencies and blockchain technologies. ” and they list a couple of cryptography courses there including the free one I posted so I did automatically assume the course had something to do with crypto currencies and blockchain.

  I would have been interested in a free course on cryptology but not gambling.

  Cryptography: the art of writing or solving codes (encryption). Has been used for a very long time in different methods and applications (not just software).
  Cryptocurrency: a digital currency in which uses encryption
  Bitcoin: the grand daddy of cryptocurrency

  These Stanford courses on Coursera are very hard. I've tried a couple of times to do the ML one but its waay above my cognitive pay grade, unfortunately.
