Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether are two trending topics in the fin-tech world. Yet, few business professionals can grasp the intricacies, opportunities and challenges posed by this new technology. This course intends to give you a thorough understanding of the history of the blockchain, properties of blockchain, limitations of blockchain, how to buy & sell cryptocurrencies, special terms associated with the blockchain and the taxation of common blockchain related transactions. The course should prepare you to take on clients in blockchain related businesses, communicate effectively with them and implement best tax practices.
